  1. Mason Says "Dark Side Of The Moon" Could've Been Better

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Could one of the greatest albums in the history of rock and roll have been better? That&rsquo;s what one of the men who played on it thinks. Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason says The Dark Side of the Mooncould have been improved up, saying, &ldquo;It would have been great to have played [Dark Side] live a number of times and then recorded it. I think we would have sequenced it differently. It&rsquo;s not only what you play, but where you play it&hellip;that could have changed.&rdquo; Mason&rsquo;s remarks came during a press conference to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the album at Abbey Road studios.</span>

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Pink Floyd&lsquo;s legendary 1973 album, &lsquo;The Dark Side of the Moon&rsquo; is one of 25 recordings to be inducted into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. The record received the highest number of public nominations among this year&rsquo;s class. In the release accompanying the announcement, &lsquo;The Dark Side of the Moon&rsquo; is called &ldquo;an example of brilliant, innovative production in service of the music.&rdquo; They go on to cite the harmonies of David Gilmour and Richard Wright, as well as the successful integration of Roger Waters&lsquo; interviews of the studio staff into the album&rsquo;s concept. Also added to the registry,&lsquo;Cheap Thrills&rsquo; by Big Brother and the Holding Company, which launched Janis Joplin to national prominence, the self-titled debut by the Ramones and the Bee Gees soundtrack to &lsquo;Saturday Night Fever.&rsquo; Created in 2000, the National Recording Registry annually selects 25 recordings that are &ldquo;culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant&rdquo; and &ldquo;reflect the diversity and creativity of the American experience.&rdquo; You can find out about all of this year&rsquo;s inductees, which range from spoken word to opera to jazz, at the Library of Congress&rsquo; website.</span>

  3. Dixie Chick Uncertain About Return To Country

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Natalie Maines will reunite with The Dixie Chicks to perform at Canadian country music festival Calgary Stampede this summer. CMT caught up with Natalie recently to ask her how she&rsquo;s feeling about country music, after years of tension with some of the genre&rsquo;s fans. &ldquo;You know what? It&rsquo;s, it&rsquo;s kinda like going back to your abusive husband. I&rsquo;m just not feeling it I&rsquo;m sorry.&rdquo; Natalie plans to release a solo album, co-produced by singer-songwriter Ben Harper. The title track, &ldquo;Mother,&rdquo; is a Pink Floyd cover and sets the tone for what Natalie says is something very different from her Chicks music. Look for that one to hit stores on May 7th.</span>

  4. Waters Rules Out Pink Floyd Reunion

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Roger Waters has emphatically ruled out a Pink Floyd reunion once and for all &ndash; saying the band &ldquo;was over&rdquo; in 1985 when he left. In recent years relations between him and surviving members David GIlmour and Nick Mason have thawed to the point where all three appeared during a performance of Waters&rsquo; The Wall in 2011. But that&rsquo;s as far as it goes, says the former mainman. He says: &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t. I left Pink Floyd for very good reasons, and it was the right and proper thing to do. It was over in in 1985 &ndash; and it&rsquo;s still over.&rdquo; But he admits: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m having dinner with Nick tonight. He&rsquo;d jump back in a heartbeat.&rdquo; Despite thinking about retiring after the first round of The Wall shows, Waters has found himself staging more and more performances, with a series of massive open-air editions due this year.</span>

  6. Pink Floyd Drummer to be Awarded Honorary Degree

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">It&rsquo;s taken him 50 years, but Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason is heading back to Regent Street Polytechnic, now known as the University of Westminster, to receive an Honorary Doctor of Letters degree from the school where he was studied architecture and where he met future bandmates Roger Waters and Richard Wright. Mason said, &ldquo;Studying at the Regent Street Polytechnic introduced me to some of the key people and biggest collaborators in my career, many of whom I have been lucky enough to work with over the last 40 years.

  8. Waters says Writing New Song Sparked Desire for New Album

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">In an interview with Rolling Stone on Monday, Roger Waters revealed he&rsquo;s written one new song for a future album tentatively titled Heartland. The Pink Floyd principal said of the new tune, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not sure what it will be called. I&rsquo;ll tell you what the first line is&hellip;&rsquo;If I had been God&hellip;&rsquo; I&rsquo;m absolutely determined to make another album. And I think this new song may give me the chance to do that. It provides a cornerstone and a core idea for me to write a new album about.&rdquo;</span>
