Prog Duo Days Between Stations Release New Video “Witness The End of the World” Featuring Pink Floyd Vocalist Durga McBroom & Billy Sherwood

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 10/09/2023 by Tony R10/09/2023

Los Angeles based progressive rock duo Days Between Stations have released a music video for their song “Witness The End of the World” featuring special guest lead vocalist Durga McBroom, who is best known for her work with Pink Floyd. The song was originally released in 2020 on their album “Giants” but due to the pandemic, the music video production was delayed, which turned out to be an unfortunately apt circumstance given the lyrics.

Video production by Erik Nielsen of Supposable Productions. Filmed in the deserts of Southern California and BandProd Studios in San Fernando, CA.

Witness the End of the World featuring Durga McBroom (Official Music Video)

Durga: “Working with Billy Sherwood producing my vocal session was magic. He was very precise; in fact, he actually reminded me of working with David Gilmour. A haunting, timely tune. I’m very proud to be singing on it. As for the video, my Goth Angel is a pretty striking look. It also honors my Native American heritage.”

Sepand: “I remember hearing this song that Oscar had written. I’m always turned on to songs that become your companion through life, its notes and meaning altering with you through your path in life. When you feel the song is one thing it morphs into another. We filmed this video during the end of COVID… boy did it feel like the end of the world. I feel the apocalyptic imagery was inspired by how society and friends and family were all rattled by this disease.”

Oscar: “It’s no secret to anyone who’s followed the band for a while that we sometimes focus on dark topics. Sometimes even before any lyrics are written, the mood of the piece will sort of suggest an image or a mood. I tend to draw a lot of inspiration from – and crib titles from – books and films. So, I had written a waltz that I was calling ‘End of the World Waltz,’ inspired by Anthony Burgess’ ‘The End of the World News.’ I had started writing some lyrics for it, with a vaguely apocalyptic theme indirectly dealing with the many ways we seem to make the world hell for ourselves and other species, and then when my cat Matisse was diagnosed with cancer I had rewritten the lyric with the line ‘it’s not the end of the world,’ which was what a not very sympathetic non-cat person had told me at the time, and I was thinking about how subjective that is and how what seems trivial to somebody can literally feel like the end of the world to someone else. In any case, I had never finished the lyrics, so when we chose to work on the piece together with Billy Sherwood for Giants, we rewrote the lyrics together and added a lot of the Greco-mythical material that tied it in with the rest of the album. It’s interesting to work on lyrics as a trio. You would think it would be overly analytical and dry, but at least part of the time we managed to all three of us enter a sort of flow state where the ideas just seemed to, well, flow.”

“Witness the End of the World” released 2020 on the album “Giants”

Roger Waters – Climate, Politics, and Corporate Power: A Conversation with Steven Donziger

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 10/09/2023 by Tony R10/09/2023

Today Roger Waters announced he is to be part of a discussion with Human Rights attorney Steven Donzinger taking place this upcoming Tuesday, September 12th at 7PM at Adler Hall in New York City. Tickets are complimentary with suggested donation and you can get them here: GET TICKETS HERE

Join us in conversation with noted human rights attorney Steven Donziger about being targeted with the nation’s first corporate prosecution after helping Amazon communities win a historic $10 billion pollution case against Chevron. Steven is a leading thinker operating at the intersection of climate, law, and corporate power, and is the first US attorney to be jailed by a corporation in retaliation for his human rights work.

Steven will be joined by actor, writer, director, and activist Michael Imperioli (The Sopranos and White Lotus), Pink Floyd rock legend and humanitarian Roger Waters, climate justice advocate and one of Time Magazine’s 2023 Women of the Year Ayisha Siddiqa, and the legendary civil rights attorney Marty Garbus. Marty has represented Steven for years as Chevron attacked him with 60 law firms, and he formerly represented Nelson Mandela and Vaclav Havel, among others.

After helping Amazon communities win a historic $9.5 billion pollution judgment against Chevron, the company retaliated and prosecuted him for contempt of court in New York after he refused to turn his computer and confidential case file over to his adversary counsel. The federal prosecutor rejected the charges, which were filed by a pro-corporate judge with financial ties to the company.

The judge appointed a Chevron law firm to prosecute Steven in the name of the US government.

The private Chevron prosecutor immediately ordered Steven locked up at home with a 24/7 monitoring device on his ankle, while his trial was delayed for over two years. He ended up spending 993 days in detention and in prison for a misdemeanor offense with a maximum sentence of 180 days; the judge denied him a jury.

He is still the only person ever in the US locked up in retaliation for his human rights work. Chevron used 60 law firms and 2,000 lawyers to attack Steven. He now enjoys the support of 68 Nobel Laureates and more than 150 bar associations and civil society groups around the world and is considered a leading global spokesperson on the issues of human rights, climate justice, Indigenous rights, and the law.

Roger Waters – Globo Interview September 2023

Pink Floyd - A Fleeting Glimpse Posted on 08/09/2023 by Tony R08/09/2023

Roger Waters posted an interview he did with Brazilian newspaper O Globo to his webpage, and it is a great read! Below is the opening snippet:

Roger Waters turns 80 today. One of the authors of the soundtrack of the second half of the 20th century, the son of a teacher and grandson of a miner can quote without blinking a masterpiece for each finger of his hand: “Another Brick in the Wall”, “Comfortably Numb”, “ Eclipse”, “Brain Damage”, “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”, “Money”, “Run Like Hell”, “Hey You”, “Goodbye Blue Sky”, “Pigs”. There’s more, of course. It was supposed to be satisfied, but that’s not the case, he reveals in an exclusive interview with GLOBO.

In the first week of October, he releases his seventh solo album, “The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux” on the platforms. In it, he re-reads the Pink Floyd classic, which he founded in 1965 with Syd Barrett, Nick Mason and Richard Wright. “Redux” arrives exactly five decades after the original, when the band no longer had Barrett and had David Gilmour. “Unfortunately, the album remains current, with an air unbreathable by outdated supremacist ideas and predatory capitalism”, says Waters, on the eve of arriving in Brazil.

His “first farewell world tour” — and fifth in Brazil, after “In the Flesh” (2002), “The Dark Side Of The Moon” (2007), “The Wall Live” (2012 ), “Us + Them ” (2018), in addition to the opera “Ça-Ira”, in 2008 and 2013)— will pass through Brasília (10/24), Rio (10/28), Porto Alegre (11/1), Curitiba (11/4) , Belo Horizonte (11/8) and São Paulo (11/11, sold out, and 11/12). Scheduled for 2020, postponed by the pandemic, “This is Not a Drill” (something like “This is not a training”) began in July last year in the USA. The “rock & roll cinematic extravaganza” was shown in cinemas around the world and caused controversy with mayors in Germany trying to cancel performances.

The artist does not shy away from the topic in the exchange of emails with O GLOBO (“’The Wall’ does not glorify Nazism or promote anti-Semitism”), and comments on the request to the federal government of the Brazilian Israeli Confederation, as informed by Lauro Jardim’s column in June, to stop their concerts (“I regret that I fell for the ridiculous historical revisionism of the Israeli lobby”). Waters credits the allegations to his “defending of the Palestinian people” and sends a message of tolerance to fans.

More hopeful than pessimistic at 80, he recalls, track by track, “The Dark Side Of The Moon”, and thanks “the opportunity to share what I think with friends in Brazil and, who knows, with those who don’t agree with me on everything , but consider dialogue important”. Waters also talks in the interview about family, friendship, Lula, Bolsonaro, Marielle and David Gilmour (no, there is no reconciliation in sight).
