Pink Floyd reloaded.
The
release of “The Endless River”
this week marks 20 years since the recording of ‘The Division Bell’ in 1994.
David Gilmour and Nick Mason were working over this project for the past two
years, their work came out with a colossal 18 pieces album divided into 4
instrumental suites and one song “Louder
Than Words” interpreted by Gilmour and written by his wife Polly Samson.
The
album’s music was the fruit of rearranging 20 hours of Pink Floyd’s unfinished
sessions of improvisations that were recorded back in 1994 during the making of
The Division Bell, and never inserted or published before.
By this
work Gilmour and Mason are giving one last tribute to the art of Richard
Wright, their co-Pink Floyd founder friend and organist who passed away in
2008. A recent statement of per David Gilmour revealed that “this album will be considered as a declaration
of the dissolution of the band; however Pink Floyd corp. will remain in
function”!
2)
Spy stories and the Zar!
After his
well wrapped documentaries on Arafat, Fidel and Chavez, Oliver Stone flew last
week to Moscow in order to meet with the political refugee Edward Snowden and
the Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Stone’s visit only scope is to
finalise his newest projects:
the first is a film entitled “The Snowden Files”, telling the
story of the person who unveiled and revealed
to the press the mass spying of the American NSA (the National Security Agency) that is
in an advanced phase; and the second is “The Zar”
a documentary on the Russian president, which is still blocked in a primary
negotiating phase.

For real or just propaganda?
The
proposal of the Russian Duma deputy Yelena Borisovna Mizulina, has overcharged
the web recently sending it almost in tilt. Here is what she suggested: “Every Russian female citizen shall receive
via regular mail, the sperm of President Putin, to get pregnant and deliver a
child. Those mothers will enjoy various fiscal tax relief generously offered from
the government”.
The
apparent similarity, of such a provocative idea, to the imaginary NAZZI dream projected
on the silver screen as “The Boys From Brazil”, would place a doubt about its veracity.
4960 deaths and 13200 documented cases of EBOLA. The latest figures released
according to the WHO. (The World Health Organisation of course not the band)!
That’s all.. For now.
