Classic rock station poll has AC/DC beating Floyd
Posted by madhack on Mar 22, 2002
Bay Area classic rock station 107.7 The Bone is running the March Madness of Classic Rock, and in the 4th round, Pink Floyd is losing to AC/DC in Division 1! Now, I have nothing against AC/DC, but come on... better than Floyd? They require registration, but I don't particularly care how fake the info you give them is. What counts is that you vote and make damn sure who wins this round (and all rounds to come)!
Technical problems
Posted by madhack on Mar 12, 2002
The Fandom had some technical problems Sunday involving a failing hard drive. Some files were lost, as many users may notice (broken images, etc.). I'm working on recovering these, but please bear with us for the time being. There may also be some downtime this weekend for a hard drive swap, and we'll try to make that as brief as possible.
Thanks for sticking with us!
New compilation album(s) for Roger
Posted by pulse on Mar 12, 2002
Sony has confirmed plans to release a compilation album of Roger Waters' solo career entitled, "Flickering Flame - The Solo Years Volume 1." Considering the title, there may be subsequent volumes to follow. Volume 1 will be released during the month of April in Australia, Japan (offers a track listing), and Europe. According to REG, the compilation is a "collectors limited edition album compiled issued and relased to support the tour," and will be removed from the Sony Music Catalog on December 1st, 2002. This explains the exclusive release only to countries visited by the 2002 tour. Plans do NOT exist for a North American release, therefore fans residing there who are interested in the compilation(s) will have to purchase the material from abroad or as an import.

Glastonbury Festival Concert Rumour
Posted by madhack on Jan 28, 2002
Rumours have been flying (and we've gotten several emails here) that Pink Floyd will be playing at the Glastonbury Festival in England this coming June. This rumour, however, seems to have no truth to it, although it is possible that Roger Waters will play a role. Time will tell, and the band's fans these days can't help but be hopeful, but at the moment the odds of a Floyd show are slim at best.
