Roger Waters will be the featured guest on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart tonight (January 14th) in the US. The show airs on Comedy Central - check local listings for exact times and other details.

For those outside the US, or who are unable to tune in to the show, many of the interviews can be watched on demand on the Daily Show's website after broadcast.

Today (January 6th) would have seen Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett's 67th birthday, and we're sure that like us, many will have paid their own personal tributes to him, in remembrance of the impact he had on our lives - playing his music, enjoying some of his art work, and so on. A couple of years back, Encyclopedia Britannica paid their own, public tribute to him, and the following film marries up Dark Globe with an old film produced by EB:

The new issue (cover date February 2013) of the UK's Mojo Magazine, which hit UK stores today (December 31st) and was in the hands of subscribers a few days ago, includes an interview with a "twinkly" Roger Waters.

Whilst brief - it takes up a single page - fans will potentially want the magazine just for the two full page pictures of Roger - one of which dominating the Contents page, and the other, accompanying the interview and featuring a subtle snarl. The interview itself covers much familiar ground as it mainly concerns itself with the 2013 European return of The Wall. However, yet again he touches on the new material he has written, which he has a definite relish at pondering that "it may prove deeply unpopular in certain quarters"!

Elsewhere in the magazine, there is a look at the Rolling Stones concerts in London (leading on the rather outrageous ticket prices for the pair of shows), an interview with Robert Fripp, (separate) features on Etta James and Jools Holland, and a preview of 2013. Plus, free with Mojo is a CD coinciding with their extensive Johnny Marr feature.

It's in selected stores now, and shortly in other countries as an import, but you can order your copy right now through this special link. Our thanks to Kev Porter for his help.

In the Netherlands, the public station Radio 2 has a yearly countdown (from Christmas Day until New Year's Eve) of the 2000 best songs. Pink Floyd is in the list with eleven songs, of which three are in the top 10:

• No. 10: Comfortably Numb
• No. 7: Shine On You Crazy Diamond

There is also a daily TV show associated with the radio program which highlights some of the songs from the list, and has a pop quiz etc..
