This Day in Pink Floyd is the official new Pink Floyd app - the ultimate accompaniment to the ultimate band.

See the promo clip here: http://youtu.be/P_CAKEnbV5c

It is designed to bring you closer to the band, and contains thousands of music facts covering 366 days of the year, a guide to every one of the 167 studio tracks the band officially released, as well as more than 100 Pink Floyd images, over 200 quiz questions, over 200 items of trivia, the rarely-seen, newly-restored video of Floyd's 1968 single 'Point Me At The Sky', a free ringtone ('Shine On You Crazy Diamond'), and two wallpaper screen images (the 'Dark Side' prism and the 'Wish You Were Here' cover).

The App will even play your own Pink Floyd music from your iTunes library – and connect you (via WiFi or 3G) to buy the tracks you don't already have!

All this, plus every conceivable official link.

Available as an App for iPhone, iPad and iTouch.

This Day in Pink Floyd is a way to immerse yourself in all of the aspects – audio, visual and factual – that made the band legendary.

Kurt Cobain: The Graphic Novel - for iPad



Kurt Cobain: The Graphic Novel - for iPad Price £3.99 ($5.99)

http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/kurt-cobain-the-graphic-novel/id469405068?mt=8

Kurt Cobain: The Graphic Novel tells Cobain’s life story in comic book form creating a totally unique digital graphic experience. Writers Barnaby Legg and Jim McCarthy have used biographical fact interwoven with references to the singer’s tortured self-image from Cobain’s point of view.

The vibrant art by Flameboy captures both the subjective dreamscape and the objective reality of a tragic musical legend. This app takes Cobain's story and plays it out as a visual depiction of his life. From the luminous colours of an idyllic childhood through the flamboyant hues of success and stardom, Cobain's story inevitably declines into a much darker palette. The script draws from the singer's tortured self-image as well as straightforward biographical fact so that the tone of the app fluctuates between subjective dream-state and objective reality. App users can browse page by page, or zoom in and work their way through frame by frame. This unique app further enhances the graphic novel experience. For his 14th birthday, Cobain’s uncle gave him the option of a guitar or a bicycle as a gift; Cobain chose the guitar.

Cobain formed Nirvana in 1987 and within two years, the band became a fixture of the burgeoning Seattle grunge scene. In 1991, the arrival of Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit marked the beginning of a dramatic shift of popular rock music away from the dominant genres of the 1980s. During the last years of his life, Cobain struggled with drug addiction and the massive success of Nirvana with his underground roots. He also felt persecuted by the media. On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead in his home in Seattle, the victim of what was officially ruled a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.
In ensuing years, the circumstances of his death became a topic of fascination and debate.

Godspeed - The Kurt Cobain Graphic was first issued in print by Omnibus in 2003 and became a bestselling paperback.
