Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd dies
Syd Barrett has died, it has been confirmed.
Barrett was a founding member of Pink Floyd and considered by many to be one of the most influential musicians in rock'n'roll history.He is understood to have died at his home in Cambridge at the age of 60 last Friday, July 7, after succumbing to complications related to diabetes.
His brother Alan confirmed Barrett's death today, telling The Guardian: "He died peacefully at home. There will be a private family funeral in the next few days."Barrett retreated from public life and music culture in the early 1970s, after leaving Pink Floyd as his mental health disintegrated in the apparent aftermath of heavy LSD use during the '60s.
His legacy can be heard on the seminal and acclaimed early recordings of Pink Floyd, such as "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn", and his solo material such as "The Madcap Laughs".
Have a Pink Floyd day.

ISPs urged to lock out file-sharers
LONDON (Reuters) - The British music industry stepped up its campaign against illegal file-sharing on Monday by demanding that two Internet service providers suspend 59 accounts it believes are being used to swap copyrighted songs.
The British Phonographic Industry trade group called on Cable & Wireless and Tiscali to join a crusade against consumer practices that have undermined music companies in recent years.
"We have said for months that it is unacceptable for ISPs to turn a blind eye to industrial-scale copyright infringement," BPI Chairman Peter Jamieson said in a statement.
"We are providing Tiscali and Cable & Wireless with unequivocal evidence of copyright infringement via their services," he added. "It is now up to them to put their house in order and pull the plug on these people." Click here for the full story.
Have fun!

Apologies for the lack of posts
An apology is due to regular Suited & Booted web site visitors. Posting have been very light over the last couple of weeks. The main reason being a rather large issue with a dead PC just after the print edition went to bed.
Well with new super techy PC stuff put together and a mamoth software installation task just about completed, you can expect more regular posts from your local music and arts magazine.
