We know a number of you are avid
collectors of Pink Floyd "paper goods", with magazines high on your
agenda. The new issue (March 2006) of the UK's Q Magazine will be one
for you to track down, as it has a few bits of interest in the issue.

Q Magazine, March 2006 |
The prime item is Nick Mason,
interviewed for their "Apocalypse Jukebox" feature. This lists the
final ten songs that the artist would want to hear before the big bang
happens.
Nick's selections here, all with his reasoning behind his
choices, are typically interesting, and range from Cream, Robert Wyatt
and Jimi Hendrix, through to jazz stars Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk
and Art Blakey, and even Stravinsky's "Rite Of Spring".
His final
selection is none other than... the sound of the BRM V16 engine!
Elsewhere in the issue, David
Gilmour's new album "On An Island" is mentioned, alongside two small
(and new) shots of David.
Also, DSOTM is number one within the category
"Heart Of Darkness" in a Q promotional piece for the Audi RS4 car.
And finally, to tie in with the
issue's look at the punk explosion of 1976, there is an "A - Z of 1976"
which includes DSOTM (again), alongside Animals, in the "P is for Prog"
section.
The magazine is on UK store
shelves now, and is available in many countries as an import. Our
thanks to Kevan Porter for his help bringing this story to you.
