Know what you mean- I had one of those "gerroffiz" days today; unfortunately I've had one of those days at work when everyone wants you to do everything yesterday if not sooner.
Ungggh. AND I've got a late (10pm!!!) finish tonight.
:(

Not too up on the Alabama 3, apart from Got yourself a gun or whatever it's called off the Sopranos (Blue Moon in Your Eyes, maybe?)
A coupla friends really rate them, but I haven't really checked them out meself. I think I should, coz the other half (because we watch lots of Sopranos) is always singing the theme song.
As for Kit Box- it's a gem! I always call in when I can and try to buy something. I don't like the idea of the place closing down, and I always feel guilty for getting stuff mail order. Tell you what though Dave, the Firefly is a nice model, but the instructions are a bit vague in places( a picture of the tank and a picture of a part near to each other with a line indicating that the part should be stuck somewhere in the general area of the tank) and the tracks are (I think) a serious pain. Check out Tank CArl's track tool .

So, here it is- another Friday, a lull at work so I crank up the volume on my sound system (today it's the turn of The Brian Jonestown Massacre) and check out what's happenin' in the land of Armorama.
Seems like everyone's taking early holidays or something!
Unless of course everyone's gone and got themselves into the Spacemen3 and are pinned in some darkened room somewhere... :-)

If only, MC,if only.
But no, it's been a week of nose to the grind stone, trials and tribulations and general kit mayhem.
I have however when possible been attempting to relax to the strains of Tangerine Dream and The Orb.
Cheers from the Backside of the Moon.

For those of you with a penchant for the obscure or just odd (erm, music, that is), check out BBC Radio 6 The Freakzone, which is my regular Monday back to work soundtrack. This week's show kicked off with that marvellous slab of Kosmischemusik that is AmonDuul's Archangels Thunderbird- what a way to start work!!! T'internet is a wonderful thing, really; it's like travelling through time...
I'm a bit confused this morning due to a minor road traffic accident on the way to work (not my fault honest, officer). And thereby hangs a tail... maybe I can swing a sickie for tomorrow!

Somebody's going to say Hawkwind before long

Don't they use that in some advert (can't remember what for, but lot's of dark, gothique shots)?
Yeah I like that one.
Frankie Teardrop by Suicide is a record which for certain un-nameable reasons has a place in my musical heart. At the moment my place of work resounds to the strains of Elizabeth Vagina, by Queen Elizabeth (Julian Cope and Thighpaulsandra). I do like a bit of weird in my music.
Van Der Graaf Generator, Spacemen3, Julian Cope, Bonzo Dog Band, The United States of America, the Image Has Cracked by Alternative TV, Love/ Arthur Lee, Pretty Things (during their SF Sorrow period), Plasticland, Gong, Syd Barrett, Spirit (especially 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus), White Noise, obscure post-1965 British psychedelia (worth looking for are Vacuum Cleaner by The Tintern Abbey- fantastic and Am I the Red One? by Mick Softley) Planet of the Blue Men by Joe Meek and so on and so on.
Anyhoo, what's wrong with Hawkwind? They were great up till about 1980...

Absolutley nothing at all, I've always thought they were great myself.Know what you mean about the post 1980 stuff,but there have been some returns to form -Alien 4 and The Yule Ritual being two that spring to mind.
Equally Nik Turners Space Ritual with members of Pressurehead from 1994 is fairly mind battering stuff.

Always liked that track as well and the Press the Eject and....... live album, but not too sure about the rest of their stuff.
As for the strangest music,has to be Magma the French jazz/rock/opera fusion group from the 70's with lyrics in a made up language.Check out Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh or Kohntarkosz.

My sources close to the ground tell me that they are to be playing at the Ouseburn Festival (yup, Sunny Byker) sometime during the summer. Worth watching for- the band features several ex-Hawkwind including Del Dettmar and Dave Anderson on bass, who was also in another of my faves, Amon Duul II.

ou might like Circle- they're Finnish, sing in a made up language (like I can tell that from Finnish, but never mind) and do some top notch Kosmische-stylee trancerock. They occasionally turn up in the NE- I first saw 'em supporting Acid Mothers Temple. Now there's weird...
