Floydian Slip

Last call: Waters/Gilmour reunion contest

Posted September 14, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Your opportunity to participate in our latest contest is drawing to a close.

Make your guess as to when David Gilmour will join Roger Waters on stage during Waters’ “The Wall” tour and win a copy of Waters’ “The Wall Live in Berlin” on CD.

If you guess the exact date, you’ll also get a sealed copy of Classic Rock magazine from last fall — the one with the 3D Floyd cover commemorating the 30th anniversary of “The Wall.”

We’re accepting entries through the beginning of the tour, which starts tomorrow.

Make your guess now.

One guess per person. (Don’t worry, laddy, we’ll know …)

Floydian Slip v. Red Sox

Posted September 5, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Listeners to Floydian Slip affiliate WBTN 1370 AM in Bennington, Vt., might have noticed our show was interrupted this weekend midway through the program.

WBTN’s contract with the Red Sox trumps the station’s agreement with Floydian Slip. So in the event there’s a conflict — as there was this weekend when the team rescheduled its game to Saturday afternoon — the station is required to go with the Sox.

Over-the-air listeners hear the ballgame; online listeners hear a blend of music that’s not “Floydian Slip.” (The station’s Sox contract doesn’t allow the game to be streamed, and the station’s protocol is to provide a blend of music in its place.)

In this best-of-three-game series, the Sox would seem to always come out on top.

Nick Mason: Floyd anthology in the works

Posted September 1, 2010 by Floydian Slip

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason has indicated a Pink Floyd anthology and catalog reissue might be in the works.

His comments appear in an interview published in the recent issue of Rhythm magazine.

“We’ve been developing the idea of a Pink Floyd anthology for a long time. I’ve spent quite a lot of time trying to find the material. I really enjoy that, but it’s time consuming,” he says.

“We’re talking about doing a big reissue of the Pink Floyd catalogue because there is the belief that there eventually will be the point that there simply won’t be enough market to generate those sort of packages. That would be a tragedy, so it’s a good time to do it.”

Read the full interview online.
