Pink Floyd pig takes off again

Check out this story over at CBC News about the Pink Floyd pig getting another chance to do some sight-seeing. It's not the original pig (that one's too leaky), but rather a new pig, flown over the same factory (now defunct) that appeared on Floyd's 1977 album Animals.

The pig-flying festivities were meant to coincide with the release of Why Pink Floyd...?, a super-schnazzy re-packaging of 14 studio albums with new bonus materials, artwork, etc. So head over to iTunes or Best Buy or something and buy remastered versions of albums you've already bought three times. (I just bought Animals again.)

Also: head to Consequence of Sound for a cool run-down by Jake Cohen.
