You're doing it wrong

It's a fair point, though please put it down to clumsy phrasing. Just to clarify, it was memorable because I was doing it right Ah, the mighty 'Wind.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

I know. It's smart ! It's like Joyce or Faulkner. Or very early Pink Floyd. Or a particularly memorable Hawkwind gig I went to in 1983.

Must have been good 'cos Nik Turner had rejoined by then. I had to wait until 1984 myself - still memorable.

You're the right stuff, baby, the right stuff.

Yep. He was there, parping and leaping about. The splitter !

I've just done a mock-up of a new kit for next season - would anyone like to see it?

 

[1973Blade]

Just to be clear, anyone can hijack my threads. As an attention seeker it is being ignored that I can't cope with.

 

[PeteBlade]

Sometimes it's as if it's two people posting though. You get a coherent post - even if you don't agree - and an analysis of what he's thinking and then at other times its batshit mental statements that if were written down on paper would be in multi coloured crayon that defy all logic.

Very similarly to old Curtis, I used to think he was an absolute genius manipulator and WUM that acted like an unbelievable douche and nutjob to wind people up and was very disappointing when I found out he was just a nutjob.

Oi ! Hope you're not trying to hijack a thread I've just tried to hijack ? I blame BladesMad. And Cecil Parkinson.

Everyone's keeping to the plan and we're 4 pages in! Brought a lump to my throat boys, well done.....

That's not a United kit. United play in fookin stripes raa raa raaaa.

Bloody hippies

I'm tempted to flounce in response to that, but instead I'm gonna buck that trend by respectfully suggesting that, depending on what period Hawkwind we're talking about, Brock's heroes have been anarcho-prog-space-rock-grunge-drone-trance-metal-punks, but never "hippies". Hawkwind are generally far too lovable, and far too switched on, to be hippies. In a rational universe Dave Brock, Bob Calvert and probably Huw Lloyd Langton, would be revered national treasures.

Tho the bloke on the theremin, and the chap who used to show up at gigs dressed as a green wizard, might test the patience of the silent majority.

Oops, I'm hijacking Vorpal's attempt to hijack this hijack thread again

That bloke on the theremin is none other than Tim Blake, although I have to say I preferred him when he was in Gong and originally in Hawkwind on Levitation just playing his Crystal Machine synth.

What would happen if someone accidentally deleted the Internet?

It would be as catastrophic as typing 'google' into Google. The interweb would disappear up its own arse.

Yeah, I was being disrespectfully flip. Blake is a star, though I've heard him referred to by the uninitiated as "that smelly looking hippy", etc.

Levitation would be in my top 10--possibly top 5--Desert Island albums. It is a perfect thing. And that several CD box set, with the remaster of the album and the live set, is just exquisite

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

I've tried to pick out constructive dissenters and Ignore the haters and the miserati. There is a danger of only hearing one side but ask yourself how often the person you're considering Ignoring has posted something that adds to the debate, and take it from there.

I'd pick out alcoblade as an example of someone I often disagree with but who clearly has high standards for the club, and has taught me a thing or two

UTMB

That was a waste of time, #alcoblade has you on ignore.

The clamshell box is indeed the best thing ever, although I rather like my blue vinyl version too.

Alcoblade has Alcoblade on ignore.

I have the same blue vinyl It's probably one of the reasons I fell in love with the album in the first place. That and Huwie's cosmic, out Gilmouring Gilmour guitar work. Shit, I think I know every note of that damn record. I've been playing it for so long it feels like it's part of my bones.

How good to hear Brock on the radio recently, talking warmly about Comrade Kilmister. Did you catch any of that ?

I did, on 5 Live. They managed to play the HW version of Motorhead with Brock singing. Of course, Baron Brock pointed it out saying the day they recorded it Lemmy was too ill to sing.

No, I was actually in Sheffield at the Haze Christmas Gig.
