As many of you are aware, the UK's Planet Rock digital radio station are tonight (January 27th, at 6pm GMT) airing a repeat of the unmissable, hour-long Piper special, which had Guy Pratt in conversation with Richard Wright about the making of the album. Richard went down memory lane, going through the album track-by-track. UPDATE: Listen on demand through this link!

To make this day even more special (not forgetting Nick Mason's birthday as well) respected Canadian radio station Q104 are broadcasting a two-hour Syd Barrett special, with the first half airing this evening, from 8pm – 9pm Atlantic Time, which is 7pm – 8pm Eastern, 4pm – 5pm Pacific, and Midnight – 1am GMT. Hour two will air next Sunday, February 3rd, at the same time. Brain Damage's Arash Danesh was interviewed as part of the show, so make sure you tune in or catch it online at www.q104.ca, where they have a live stream available worldwide.
