For all of us eagerly awaiting Nick Mason's long-awaited book on the history of Pink Floyd, he kindly provided an update exclusively to us here at Brain Damage... he is still expecting "to have the book done next year [2004]". More information on this as we have it. Thanks, Nick!

French TV channel Arte is giving Floyd fans a bit of a treat tomorrow (December 30th), at 12:15am and in just over a week, on January 7th (at 1:00am). They are screening a ninety minute version of the remastered PULSE concert, as recently shown at the Paris "Interstellar" exhibition. Our thanks to Dominique Gouby for sharing this news with us!

Long term Pink Floyd producer Bob Ezrin is one of several interviewed for Jake Brown's forthcoming "Behind The Boards" book, to be published in the summer (around June/July time). More details, courtesy of the publishers, should be with us shortly; from the initial details we have, the book should be an interesting look at some of the key people behind the music.

With Christmas Day less than a week away, we know that many of you may be doing better things than surfing your favourite websites (although what those things could be, who knows?!) Rest assured that a normal Brain Damage service will be running throughout the festive period, if you fancy a break from the family and the compulsory overeating!

In the meantime, Matt and all the rest of the Brain Damage team, wish you the compliments of the season, and hope that you have a great 2004! There's going to be plenty going on - so keep checking Brain Damage for all the latest news and other good stuff! Cheers, salut, prost, bottom's up!
