In Which I Fail to Impart Interesting Titbits

Right. Just a note for today. Did you know that Stanley Kubrick wanted Pink Floyd to do the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange? He also wanted the rights to edit the music how he pleased, so they told him to jog on. Here's how the beginning of the film ended up after Pink Floyd's refusal, and here's how it could have ended up, had they come to an agreement.

Also, did you know what the BBC decided to do when broadcasting the most momentous event in humankind's history- the Apollo 11 mission to land on the moon? They decided to bung Pink Floyd into a studio and have them make up some music as they went along. I love this. There are a bunch of scientists watching the proceedings on a big screen, occasionally saying what they think is going on, then next to them are Pink Floyd, playing live to millions of British viewers as they watch Buzz and Neil on a soundstage in Los Angeles in the Sea of Tranquillity. I have been listening to more than a bit of Pink Floyd lately. They're cool.
