Googling Nick Mason
Posted by pulse on Mar 29, 2012
The @Google Talks program sat down with Pink Floyd drummer and founding member Nick Mason as part of their Musicians@Google series. The interview lasts one hour and though much is discussed that most Floyd-heads probably know, Mason's take on things is fascinating. The questions are well-thought and you may find them quite interesting, especially towards the end.

Roger Waters on the Howard Stern Show
Posted by alb on Jan 18, 2012
Roger Waters appeared on Howard Stern's radio show this morning. According to sources who listened, the interview lasted approximately one hour. Of course, Roger was asked about a potential reunion. He responded that while there is no animosity, he is currently too busy for such a thing and he assumes the other members of Floyd are too busy as well.
UPDATE:
I have uploaded the 57 minute interview to YouTube for your listening pleasure.
No Olympics reunion for Floyd
Posted by madhack on Jan 4, 2012
Despite a recent report that Pink Floyd would be reuniting for the 2012 Olympics, David Gilmour himself has denied that such a reunion was happening. Nick Mason in particular has stated in the past that they'd consider it for the right reason, but it appears the Olympics are not the right reason.
Roger Waters on the Occupy movement
Posted by madhack on Nov 11, 2011
Roger Waters has posted a video speaking out in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement and the related protests around the world, both on his Facebook page and on Vimeo. Because it's a serious and polarizing issue, I've decided not to add any personal commentary, but our readers should feel free to do so on our forums.

The Wall Live returns to North America
Posted by madhack on Nov 1, 2011
As has been widely expected, Roger Waters today announced a return to North America in mid-2012. The Philadelphia show goes on sale on Nov 7; San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Orlando on Nov 18; and the Boston and New York shows on Jan 30 2012. All other dates go on sale on Nov 14.
This summer 2012 schedule is pretty tightly packed, so it seems unlikely that many extra shows will be announced, but there's always a possibility.
