The site http://www.roger-waters.com/ has been down for a few weeks which has caused speculation about what might be coming in time for the 30th Anniversary of The Wall and Christmas coming soon!! So far….. white screen with image below on…. Sony Music Logo for holding page! Exciting. But what could be on the way? Roger owns the rights to The Wall I believe and not Pink Floyd Music 1986 as he took it with him as part of his settlement on leaving the band.
Links – Bandaged Together | Discuss on Forum | Previous News Story | Listen to All You Need is Love on BBC iPlayer (starts at 1h 58m) Official Press Release The new BANDAGED TOGETHER album will be released on the 9th November 2009 and will be available for pre-sales on November 1st at www.charitygoods.com. We are delighted to announce that the album will also be available in all the main Tesco stores following its release! This album is a double album as we had so many people interesting in being part this album this year, but we are only changing the price marginally to cover the manufacturing costs of the double album. So it will only cost £13.00 to purchase, and £7.00 of this will go straight to BBC Children in Need. Tesco have very generously agreed to match this figure for the sales in their stores.

There are certainly a LOT of Pink Floyd wiki entries on wikipedia! I imagine a lot of it is also inaccurate as any old idiot can edit the pages and add anyting they like for fun. Check it all out > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd
There are certainly a LOT of Pink Floyd youtube videos out there which span from the very early years from the Undergound scene right up until present day.Of course, they are copyright infringements on the most part but it would be nice to have much more video content of the variety and quantity on youtube on the official Pink FLoyd website. Some good video I would definitely like to see on youtube or bettwe still the official Pink Floyd site, is The Wall live to co-incide with the 30th anniversary of The Wall. So… perhaps all the youtube Pink Floyd videos would be best placed on the official Pink Floyd website with lots more from the archives of Nick Mason, the official collector of all things Floyd in the band! Check his book out Inside Out. An excellent read (and listen if you have the audio book like me!!)
