The Knife
“Heartbeats”
Live in Gothenburg, 4/12/2006

As many of you guessed, I wrote the blurb for “Heartbeats,” which came in at #15 on Pitchfork’s 2000s tracks list. It was #1 on my ballot. There was no real competion, though my #2 came in at #19, and my #3 was #201.

Pink Floyd Jamming in BBC studio During Apollo 11 Lunar Landing Coverage (1969)

Arthur Mag:

Description from YouTube of clip: “An instrumental piece used for a tv-programme on the evening of the first moonlanding July 20, 1969. uninterrupted.”

This clip was apparently made by a fan in an attempt to simulate what s/he’d seen. The footage here is from a 1972 landing, the audio is from a bootleg recording of the TV broadcast.

David Gilmour tells The Guardian:

“We were in a BBC TV studio jamming to the landing. 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.”
