Jon Carin, the Grammy Award winning musician, singer, songwriter and producer who has been a longtime collaborator with Pink Floyd and the solo careers of David Gilmour and Roger Waters, amongst many other top musicians, hasn’t been taking it easy during lockdown. Roger’s This Is Not A Drill tour was due to start on July 8th this year, and so Jon would have been in the thick of rehearsals for the concerts when lockdown struck. As you know, that tour has been postponed until next year, and we are awaiting the revised dates once they have been confirmed. It now seems like he’s been working hard on new material of his own, and two new songs have just been released onto Spotify, which are well worth checking out. The first of these is Like a Drug, an acoustic guitar driven song that is a nice, chilled listen. The other is called Fear Of Everything, a punchier song which gives more prominence to drums and keyboards, and we hope that these two songs are a taste of more to come from Jon. You can ‘Follow’ the Jon Carin artist page at Spotify to access these two songs, and over time, hopefully more.

Pink Floyd “reinvent themselves” – German Classic Rock magazine
start of March, we noted that the UK’s edition of Classic Rock included a detailed, twelve page article written by Pink Floyd biographer Mark Blake (https://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/pink-floyd-reinvent-themselves-in-new-issue-of-classic-rock-mag.html) taking a close look at life for the band immediately after Syd Barrett left it. The article – now translated into German for that country’s version of the magazine – investigates how the band got back on their feet following Syd’s departure, and shows how they reinvented themselves. Blake details how this came via strange, afternoon shows for school kids in the Netherlands, bizarre promo videos, unusual soundtrack albums, and shows which were rather avant-garde – as well as albums which showed the development of the band’s sound. As ever, Blake’s writing proves enlightening and entertaining, peppered with comments from the musicians themselves. Well worth a read! Elsewhere in the magazine are features on Uriah Heep, Rob Halford, UFO, Thunder, and Suzi Quatro, plus plenty of other articles to keep you busy. The magazine is now available from all good German stores; alternatively, you can buy individual issues (worldwide) from this direct link (https://classicrock.net/produkt/classic-rock-nr-98-rob-halford-bekenntnisse-des-metal-gottes-ausgabe-04-2021/). Our thanks to Michael Nickel for the information!

Atom Heart Mother – fan documentary
Something a little different today – a BD visitor has been in touch with details of a documentary he has put together on Pink Floyd’s 1970 album, Atom Heart Mother. He treads some slightly different ground, and it is an interesting watch:
