Show #181, Release date: 27. January, 2012

First, I very big happy birthday to Nick Mason, who celebrates his 68th today.  Happy Birthday Nick and many happy returns!  

2012 marks Floydpodcast's 7th year!  What better way to start it all off than without Pink Floyd.  Thats right, I asked some of you on the Floydpodcast Facebook Page to suggest an idea and this was one of them.  I've been meaning to do this kind of a podcast for a long time and it turned out to be one of the more challanging ones I've put together.  For this, we take a look at work Floyd members have done for other musicians.  It's an interesting listen and I hope you enjoy.

Show #180, Release date: 24. December, 2011

It's another convenient little themed, mix of a podcast I hope you won't forget... all nicely wrapped in a bow.  It's about remembering and it seems to go rather well with the season so why not a 'Christmas/Holiday''ish episode.  Its the first... and probably the last of such though... anyway, enjoy!

Have a safe and happy holiday season and a happy new year!  2011 has been a banner year for floydpodcast.  Thank you for being a part of it with me.

Show #175, Release date: 4. September, 2011

I found an amazing recording out of Providence, Rhode Island from Roger's 2000, "In The Flesh" tour. The name of the bootleg is "Devine Providence" and its the source for this podcast.  The quality was excellent without tweaking but as usual, it's been doctored up for super sound, big time.  In addition to the EQ'ing and whatnot, I removed (as best I could) as much wooo'ing, whistling, and any other annoying crowd noise.  I explain more in the podcast but this could totally pass for an official recording. Hope you dig it.
