Well, any Floyd fans who were still holding out hope for a Pink Floyd reunion… probably the same members of the audience waiting for the Titanic to regain buoyancy and come floating tot he surface with all 1500 geriatrics that went missing back in 1914 sitting on the Lido Deck holding their breath. Well, if you were one of the overly optimistic few praying for Floyd to reunite, I got bad news for you because your odds just went to one-in-a-bazillion to one-in-a-googolplexapalooza because keyboradist Rick Wright just died, and barring the discovery of the necronimicon and someone correctly speaking the spell to reanimate his corpse, he will not be able to attend any future tours.

For those of you waiting for a partial reunion of Dave, Roger and Nick Mason, Vegas odds currently have it somewhere between Bigfoot releasing a hit tijano album in the next calendar year and the discovery that the Smackum’s Frog being the real father of Bristol Palin’s bastard child.

And speaking of deaths in music, the last show to provide any sort of “M” in the MTV moniker is being cancelled to the surprise and despair of absolutely no one. Despite the fact that MTV’s programming has been solely dedicated to The Hills, Laguna Beach and Tila Tequila reruns, for the last ten years MTV has allowed something called “music” to be played on it’s airwaves in the afternoon, albeit abbreviated videos with text crawling across the bottom of the screen and a picture-in-picture of a bunch of screaming teenage girls shouting, “Stacy you’re a bitchwhore and I’m having Bobby’s baby! Ahhhhhhh!!!!!” But after November, Total Request Live will be no more.

Dave Sirulnick, executive producer of “TRL,” said, “We found all that singing and those repeated musical phrases didn’t really fit the image of MTV. Everyone knows the M in MTV stands for pampered whores in the southern California whining because their every extravagance isn’t being seen to… There’s an M in there somewhere, right

MTV plans to replace TRL with a two-hour long show of Lindsey Lohan writing million dollar checks for panties that she’ll never wear.

And finally, if you land an interview with Metallica and you actually want said interview to happen, try to refrain from writing a review about their brand new album that recommends that people torrent a fan-made edit by suggesting that “this is how the album should have sounded.” If your goal is to really piss them off and have them cancel the interview, then, by all means, definitely do that because it will totally work. That because it’s what a Swedish reviewer did. The guy, in the review, admitted to illegally downloading a fan edit which he said was superior in sound and flow and even suggested that everyone go get the free bittorrent copy. It was not long after that when Metallica cancelled their interview. Again, I’m neither condoning nor admonishing anyone who torrents the new Metallica record. I’m just saying if you have an interview scheduled with Lars that maybe you not publicly brag about the fact in advance.
