Contest: Name David Gilmour’s new album

Posted March 4, 2015 by Floydian Slip

News of a new David Gilmour album was confirmed with an official announcement today. But what was missing from the announcement was a title.

What do you think David’s new album should be called?

Give us your best suggestion, and you’ll be registered to win a Floyd CD or book of your choice from the “Floydian Slip” prize closet.

There’s no right or wrong answer. “Floydian Slip” senior management will convene to ponder all entries in our secret basement broadcasting lab, and award the prize to the person with the suggestion we like best.

We’ll keep up this contest through March 15, or until the official album title is made public, whichever comes first.
