We only do the fundraiser every quarter, but there are ways you can help support us every day, from clicking on ads (Google, Amazon and occasionally the actual paid for BlogAd) to buying stuff from Amazon after clicking our link to them, to monthly subscriptions at our Support TPC page to just a straight forward donation here or the buttons to your right.

We’re both struggling right now with more crap than ya’ll care about, but the reason we get up every morning is to get the news for you. And it’s only going to get crazier here in the next few months. We thank you.

Video Mid Day Distraction- Pink Floyd “Moonhead” -1969- Unreleased Pink Floyd Material

Very cool.

Gilmour-

It was a live broadcast, and there was a panel of scientists on one side of the studio, with us on the other. I was 23. The programming was a little looser in those days, and if a producer of a late-night programme felt like it, they would do something a bit off the wall. Funnily enough I’ve never really heard it since, but it is on YouTube. They were broadcasting the moon landing and they thought that to provide a bit of a break they would show us jamming. It was only about five minutes long. The song was called Moonhead — it’s a nice, atmospheric, spacey 12-bar blues.
