Nick Mason announces Scandinavian, European tour

Posted May 25, 2018 by Floydian Slip


Pink Floyd drummer and founding member Nick Mason will take his group Saucerful of Secrets on a 21-date tour of Scandinavia and Europe this fall.

The announcement comes on the heals of the group’s four sold out shows in London (pictured) this past week.

The group, which includes Spandau Ballet‘s Gary Kemp, former Floyd bassist Guy Pratt, Blockheads guitarist Lee Harris, and producer/composer Dom Beken, plays early Floyd tracks from the group’s Syd Barrett and soundtrack eras.

The tour starts Sept. 2 in Stockholm, and wraps Sept. 29 in Nottingham. It’ll be Mason’s first tour since Floyd’s ’94 concerts supporting “The Division Bell.”

Tickets go on sale today. Visit the band’s official site for a full schedule.

Here’s the songlist from the group’s London shows:

  1. “Interstellar Overdrive”
  2. “Astronomy Domine”
  3. “Lucifer Sam”
  4. “Fearless”
  5. “Obscured by Clouds”
  6. “When You’re In”
  7. “Arnold Layne”
  8. “The Nile Song”
  9. “Green Is the Colour”
  10. “Let There Be More Light”
  11. “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun”
  12. “See Emily Play”
  13. “Bike”
  14. “One of These Days”
  15. “A Saucerful of Secrets”
  16. “Point Me at the Sky”

The issue includes a 20-page feature detailing the 50 greatest Floyd tracks, and a new interview with drummer Nick Mason talking about his latest project bringing early Floyd back to the stage with “Saucerful of Secrets.”

“Floydian Slip” abandons pursuit of iHeartMedia, Cumulus stations

Posted May 22, 2018 by Floydian Slip

Over the last several years we’ve worked hard to bring “Floydian Slip” to more and more listeners by adding affiliate stations to our Random Precision Radio Network.

Today we stopped pursuing new affiliates owned by iHeartMedia Inc. and Cumulus Media Inc.

Since self-syndicating in 2009, we’ve pitched more than 2,100 stations, and have managed to greatly increase our network to 105 affiliates in more than 40 states. But stations owned by iHeartMedia and Cumulus have been a bust.

We’ve only managed to get on one iHeartMedia station: KKZX 98.9 FM, Spokane, Wash., carried the show from 2012-14. KQCL 95.9 FM, Faribault, Minn., carried the show in 2011 when it was owned by Cumulus.

“I loved the show when we were airing it and heard from quite a few listeners when we had to drop it,” then-KQCL Program Director Mike Eiler told us in 2012. “Unfortunately, Cumulus spent the last year shedding most of the barter programs and replacing them with shows that they produce or own.”

It’s most frustrating when we find local programmers who desperately want to add our show, but find it impossible to get sign-off from their corporate higher-ups.

We’ll always be happy to add to our network any station that shows an interest in “Floydian Slip.” But, going forward, we’re focusing our efforts where there’s the most chance for success.

Thanks to all of our affiliate stations for signing on and shining on.

And, if you’re a regular listener to “Floydian Slip,” be sure to let your local affiliate station know you’re a fan.
