Show #60, date: 23. June, 2006

This special edition of Brain Damage includes covers of favorite Pink Floyd tunes performed by other major recording artists.  I’m very picky when other people cover Floyd music but I enjoy all these bands individually.  Nick Mason feels innovative covers are more preferable to tribute bands.  You be the judge.  Here’s the playlist!

Check out this freaky coincidence… the link provided has a recording of radioactive emissions coming from Saturn captured by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.  So basically you can hear what Saturn sounds like… and it sounds like a clip from an early Floyd performance!

Sounds of Saturn

“Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania… Neptune, Titan, stars can frighten.”

Earl’s Court Banner

This is one of the many hand painted banners that hung from the rafters of Earls Court during Pink Floyd’s Division Bell shows back in 1994. The purpose of the banners was to improve the sound and dampen the echoing effect of the acoustics of Earls Court.

They measure 20’x18′ and you can see this banner and others in P.U.L.S.E. and Storm Thorgerson’s hardcover book, Mind Over Matter – Images of Pink Floyd on page 194.
