We at AFG would like to wish a very happy 81st birthday to one of Pink Floyd’s founding members and conceptual rock and roll genius, Roger Waters. Happy Birthday, Roger! We hope you enjoy your day.

Fingal’s Cave Podcast has added yet another interesting guest, this episode features Alexander Teglbjærg, who is better known by his artist name as Artist On The Border. Alex is responsible for creating artwork for various Pink Floyd bootlegs in the late 90’s and supported the Harvested label on a few releases.

He later launched a YouTube channel where he animated official Pink Floyd artwork, which opened doors for collaboration with Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets. Additionally, he has developed a close relationship with Roger “Syd” Barrett’s family, serving as the official animator for all content on the official Syd Barrett website and YouTube channel.

This week brings you a roundup of news regarding Luck and Strange. We’re nearly two weeks away from the album’s release and promotion is in full swing! Yesterday, David Gilmour and Co. presented the album’s Dolby Atmos mix in a theater to friends and family – with David looking spiffy in a nice sport jacket introducing the playback with co-host Matt Everitt (of BBC Radio). Some video has made its way to YouTube of David’s introduction, courtesy of Total Rock:

Additionally, David is set to appear as a guest on an upcoming episode of The Rockonteurs with Gary Kemp and Guy Pratt, so stay tuned for that!

Lastly, there are updates regarding the deluxe box sets for ‘Luck and Strange.’ A very limited edition of the CD/Blu-ray and LP/Blu-ray deluxe sets, which looks to be sold out right now, includes a print featuring one of Anton Corbijn’s remarkable portraits of David. The non-print edition of the deluxe sets has experienced a price reduction, which should be reflected in the final amount charged to those who pre-ordered through Amazon, as they will automatically adjust to the lowest price available between the order date and the release date. – News thanks to our friend Matt over at Brain-Damage.
