Well, Mike must not be back yet from the solar eclipse in Turkey, so maybe that's why there haven't been any April Fools' posts here on boc-l. So I guess I'll have to write something about my April 1st experience last night here in Cowtown, USA. (My favorite of the April Fools' jokes in the media was the one Bono made, pretending to complain about his image being "exploited" for some stupid cause or something...that really made me laugh.) So last night's show was at a place downtown near the hockey arena (Columbus has a 'professional' hockey team, if you didn't know...and you probably don't) formerly known as the PromoWest Pavilion. But then, I guess the local entertainment promotion company that owns it decided that they didn't get any free money naming the place after themselves, so then they chose to sell the name off to whatever company was willing to pay for it. (The basketball arena at Ohio State U. is called "Value City Arena," which was rather embarrassing as some people in the state of Michigan believed then it was only a matter of time that the whole university would become known as Value City University...which they dutifully began to use in advance....for those not in the know, Value City Furniture is a locally owned business that sells that crappy particle-board composite furniture that lasts about 8 months before sagging to the point that it falls apart.) Anyway, the company that bought the rights was Lifestyles Communities, or whatever the hell it is...and I have no clue what the hell that means. Nobody else does either, so now people are calling it the LC. Even themselves, which probably pisses off the LC execs, since that pretty much kills the point of naming it after their business. (They should name it after Depends undergarments, like the Chinese new year, or whatever it was in that crazy book by David Wallace that's way to long for me to consider reading without being sure it would be worth it.) So, anyway, the LC is not a bad venue, very modern and neat, with lots of good sight lines from various vantage points, including a sizable wrap-around balcony. However, the balcony was only open to those who had (oddly enough) participated in a half-marathon earlier in the day (no doubt sponsored by the same conglomerate that owns LC and fifty other things). And I can honestly say that this was the first time that I had seen awards given out to champion runners on stage between warm up and main acts of a rock concert. Strangely enough, to add to the debate about male vs. female listening habits, none of the three women showed up to collect their awards in person but all five men did! Including the dude from Kenya who smoked everyone else in the race. Well, you might think that that was the least interesting part of the warm-up phase, but you'd be wrong. The opening band was already playing when I arrived, so I never learned their name, and didn't really care to find out. They were all younger than the children of the 3OC, and weren't particularly interesting or memorable in any way. The second 'band' were known as the Dan Orr Band, and were very memorable as being just about the most awful thing I'd ever had the misfortune of seeing. It became clear to me (after the 56th mention), that they are a kind of 'house' band for a local morning radio show on the totally useless (aren't they all? Deep Purple's new album has a funny tribute to same...although only on the extended CD version) classic rock radio station QFM. And you know what that means....they take famous classic rock songs, play them EXTREMELY badly, and then change the lyrics to make fart jokes (and such) that only fourth graders would think were funny. And then they do it over and over and over again 'til you're ready to jam Phillips (R) screwdrivers into your ears to rupture you eardrums. (Seriously...they sang "Come on baby, light my fart." Grown men! And they get paid for it! Ah, American culture is a wonderful thing, isn't it? They failed to do a version of that Black-eyed Peas "song" about the humps, or lumps, or whatever it is...probably because they couldn't figure out a way to make it any stupider.) The sound quality at the LC is half-decent, probably better than the other similar club (also run by PromoWest), the Newport (over by OSU campus). However, I would call it great or anything. It's rather boxy with an aluminum sheet roof and walls, and so it's bit muffly and echo-y. The best thing about the venue (which I'm still happily learning to get used to, since it's a new phenomenon) is the city-wide smoking ban, which means you can actually breath relatively comfortably inside the place (they have a little fenced-in 'holding pen' outside the bldg. where the smokers can get their fix in between the sets). Though the stage crew then actually needs to manufacture faux smoke if they want to project the lights through it (not much of that either). Ah, well, BOC came on at about 9:50 and played the typical 100-minute set including all the normal tracks you'd expect....This Ain't the Summer of Love, Lips in the Hills, Golden Age of Leather, Shooting Shark, Black Blade, yada yada yada... Ha...got you...April Fools! No really, here's the set list... The Red and Black This Ain't the Summer of Love Burning for You Lips in the Hills Shooting Shark Buck's Boogie ME262 Golden Age of Leather Cities (not Butts, thankfully) on Flame with Rock and Roll Then Came (and went) the Last Days of March (extended version with long soloing from Allan and then Buck) Godzilla (extended version with long soloing by Richie and then Jules) Don't Fear the Reaper (with prominent cowbell...no kidding) ------------------------------------------------------------ Black Blade Hot Rails to Hell Doesn't seem like a long set list, but they jammed alot on a number of tracks, with Allan playing a lot more guitar breaks than usual. The 'new' guys are both good players, though I didn't need them both to do the solo routine to learn that. The best things were Shooting Shark, Last Days of May and Black Blade, since you don't get to hear these so often at BOC concerts. Buck's voice was really strong last night, which was a big improvement over the last time I saw them (which was the Ohio State Fair in about 2001 or thereabouts). He played just a pair of guitars, identical (I think) except for the coloration. Both Steinburgers, the Emmentaler (Swiss Cheese) version and a starburst one. Eric was in good form too, and played a lot more keyboard than usual, given that Allan was playing more guitar. Richie sang the final song, Hot Rails to Hell, and he actually sings pretty well. The crowd was pretty decent...I'd say the place could hold something like 1,500 or so, if you packed the balcony (they had tables and stuff up there on this night...not sure if that was only for the special half-marathon promotion or what), so there were the better part of 1,000 there I'd guess. So that's my April Fools' story...all of it is true, even. Grakkl (FAA) --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo! Messenger?s low PC-to-Phone call rates.

I'm virtually certain that they are Michael Kelly guitars, a mid-priced import that EB endorses, simply repainted with a nice finish. You could hire a luthier to build and paint your own custom guitar for less than that--probably about half--and get a true, quality instrument in the process. With EB's guitars, you're paying 4 grand for a repainted Korean-made guitar that sells for about 400 bucks! If I've got it wrong, and these are really custom-built instruments from the ground up, I'll gladly apologize, but I'm not worried right now!

I thought that quite wry too. The Libertarian Alliance has just been on radio on a "Leave Kate Moss Alone - what drugs people take is their own business!" schtick. It'd certainly make things more interesting if rock stars and Kate Moss joined and altered the PR side of it to be a lot less nerdy.

As the driving force behind American underground Space Rock legends, Alien Planetscapes, for over 2 decades, it is no exaggeration to say that Doug was an icon of the global Space Rock scene. I had the opportunity to see the band perform live on a number of occasions and was always blown away by the performances. Doug was also a contributor to Aural Innovations, having submitted several insightful articles and reviews. Talking to Doug about music always left me in awe. His knowledge of music was encyclopedic, and it wasn't uncommon for him to talk enthusiastically about such diverse bands as Hawkwind, Sun Ra, Lard Free, Richard Pinhas, and Genesis... all in the same breath. Only recently, another of Doug's friend's, Scott Heller, took the initiative to register the domain AlienPlanetscapes.com. Scott and I had been discussing his plans for the site before this sad news, wanting to document Alien Planetscapes and Doug's work over the years. With Doug's passing this week I think we'll be even more inspired to move forward with this project. To that end, I would be grateful if anyone that has any photographs, articles, reviews, interviews, even recorded interviews, or anything else that you would be willing to share, to contact either Scott (shll at hagedorn.dk) or myself (jkranitz at aural-innovations.com). We were also discussing conducting interviews with as many former members of Alien Planetscapes as possible, of which there were MANY. We know several of them but any contact info in general would be appreciated.

To be honest I think this is the kind of party where what you get out of it depends on what you bring. But whether or not the various almost-completely-different incarnations of this thing we call Hawkwind somehow contain an identifiable magick, I think one thing is for sure, which is that it's not done consciously. I think there is a certain thing that is `like Hawkwind', but I also think several HW albums don't really agree with that, most notably ASAM, also _Spacebrock_ obviously. I don't think Baron Brock and crew are laying the stuff down, listening to it with that glass of wine and going, "no, it just hasn't got that thing, let's retrack it". So I think this has to be the ear of the listener. And there are definitely things which give me that buzz more effectively than, say, _Out and Intake_. > EVERY Hawkind album is better than any other so called Space Rock band, > and most other bands too. I've tried to listen to them all, some of > which I really like. But they can't hold a candle to hawkwind. I'm not even sure if you could call ASAM space-rock. Certainly stand it next to Litmus's _You Are Here_ or other such threats to the throne and it doesn't look like the spacerockier of the two. I'm not saying it's not a better album--I suppose even for me, in the end it is, in fact--just not the better space-rock album. I don't think TMTYL is even `space-rock' by the kind of definition that starts from _Space Ritual_. Yet these are all supposed to be the same `thing' somehow. Not to my ears... Most of them are good things, as they go, but they don't compare to each other half as readily as they compare to other bands doing things similar to what Hawkwind were doing at that moment.

I was very saddened and distressed to learn of the tragic passing of my friend Doug Walker. I had the pleaseure of getting to know Doug over the last 15 or so years, and of seeing him play live several times with Alien Planetscapes, one of the all time great space rock bands. When Bill Stewart and I promoted the last New York Hawkwind gig at Coney Island High in 1997, we asked Doug to open the show with AP, and as always they came and delivered. Doug was so happy and proud to be sharing a bill and a stage with his heroes. Others have mentioned the depth of his musical skill and knowledge, and that was an impressive part of his personality. I will always remember the strength and tenacity that Doug showed in the face of numerous personal situations, not only with his own diabetes and heart condition, but in the face of the loss of his beloved wife in a traffic accident just a few years back. He was a very special man. We're all going to miss Dr. Synth. God Rest His Soul.

Yes, I checked and everything. The songs on CYM just hit my buttons more than the ones on _Sonic Attack_. The best things on _sonic Attack_ IMO are `Rocky Paths' and `Coded Languages', neither of which atre that great. Obviously the best thing on the album should be `Angels of Death' but I find this one a really weak and dull version, perhaps because I'd already seen better ones live when I got the album. And then there's a clutch of soundalike second-rate tracks, the title rework which is a bit tiring (though nothing like as bad as the CYM `Silver Machine' I grant you) and then the synth bits which are less interesting than the CM ones. However... > Now if anyone has a copy of Sonic Attack on CD for sale let me know. ... I'm afraid I'm still not selling my copy. But then, I'm not even selling my copy of Pink Fairies _No Picture_ because it has Kollector value even though it's categorically the worst album I own. quite why I still own the second-worst, which is not Hawkwind-connected except by a considerable stretch, I'm really less sure.

Re Sonic Attack..Rocky paths is superb..Angels of Death WOULD be superb if theyd cranked up Daves guitar a bit..dont like "coded languages" (Moococks vocals ..ermm...)..and Streets of Fear, Daves riff sounds too much like Magnu.But the production sound is far superior than that on C.Y.M.,which is muddy with Daves guitar even lower in the mix,and only redeemed by the classic "arrival in Utopia"..Even on the reasonable Fahrenheit 451, the riff sounds like a reworking of 25 years on./silver machine type progression..it was the start of the "album filler" period, i think, which went right through the 80s. In the middle of those 2 albums came the interesting Church of Hawkwind,of course, with its great booklet artwork-"Nuclear Drive" is a hugely under-rated track, i think..

After all, this is where it all began back in 1996, so it was a treat to reunite with Feddo Renier and perform yet again on his 'Psychedelicatessen' show..In the past I had performed on this program in 1999 and 2000, and Feddo always gives the artist complete freedom; a sort of mini BBC session for the traveling musician! The first set was about 35 minutes long, then Sloterdijk played intermitently throughout the broadcast for a few hours, with some very spirited performances by Mike and Feddo together ( notably 'Automaton', and an in studio rendition of 'Hurry on Sundown'. Thanks to Greg Elwell for monotoring the broadcast and getting the first set downloaded. We're looking for the rest of the material, so if anyone has it or has access to it, drop us a line. Feddo usually makes the shows available etc. Here is what was played by Sloterdijk..In addition I gave Feddo a copy of the 'Daze of The Underground' comp, so he'll be playing some tracks from that in the future, and I chose Amorpohis' version of 'Levitation'...For any collectors in The Netherlands, there is now one copy of this 2 cd set at 'King Kong Records', Leeuwarden>>>>Peace, Mike Setlist: Radio Patapoe 3/26/06 Amsterdam, The Netherlands The Thunderbirds Uranium Zone Greeting>'The Apathetics' Assassins of Allah Fred Goldman's Mustache missing: ( still seeking ) Integration Sloterdijk I Automaton ( with Feddo Renier ) Hurry on Sundown ( with Feddo Renier ) From nick.lee2 at VIRGIN.NET Wed Apr 12 10:56:56 2006 From: nick.lee2 at VIRGIN.NET (nick.lee2@virgin.net) Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 14:56:56 +0000 Subject: OFF: one for Uncle Sam's smiley face?

Was feeling poetic this evening (reading too much Shakespeare) so it all got a bit lyrical but never mind. They insist on you including a phone number which is slightly irritating since the absolutely one thing I will never do in this world is speak live on the radio! But I'm at work all day so they can't contact me - heh! My Hawkwind Exeter review was tucked safely into my suitcase which was then unfortunately taken away in error by some total stranger who thought it was theirs when it arrived at Edinburgh. So there's been a slight delay while I chased it around Scotland. However suitcase and I were reunited this evening so all is well!

Ideal! Far enough back that the balcony protected me from the worst of the high-pitched fuzz - well away from the heat of the centre of the hall and in a corner where I could move around. From that spot I thought the mix was excellent - the flute came across well, the guitar sounds wove around each other, the vocals were clear, and the drums carried the beat so fluently I forgot to listen for them. But to begin at the beginning - the journey down - which was kind of wierd. Scotland is totally non-smoking now and trains have been non-smoking for years but on the one down to London at just about Stevenage a strangely recognisable smell drifted its way through the airconditioning. It was so out of context that I didn't pay it much attention except to register its existence until the train stopped at the station and two policemen got on. "That's an interesting smell" one said to the other as they walked passed my seat "yes" said the other "and I think I know where it's coming from". And they passed down the carriage - vanished through the doors at the end - then the train moved off - and absolutely nothing else happened!! I found an excuse to lurk around the King's Cross platform exit (ok - I'd booked a hotel in London but had forgotten to bring the address of the place with me and had to phone it to find out where it was!) but apart from a tight cluster of police in bright dayglo jackets nothing untoward seemed to be happening so - I dunno - maybe I was just day dreaming! Anyhow made it to Exeter - found a nice pub (once frequented by Sir Francis Drake it says) that served decent food but in typical Devon fashion couldn't decide exactly who was actually doing the serving. "Can't eat down 'ere luv - but go opstairs and ye'll get a meal and a nice place to sit" "Dunno why they told you to come opstairs we're nort open yet - ye'll get some food downstairs" "What do you mean they say they're not open yet. They should be - I'll go an sort them out - just you wait here". No - please - all I want is a quiet corner + some food + some of your excellent Real Ale. No fuss please!! Dearie me. But the food was good and the table was fine and I was greeted by Rob Dreamworker who was also there - which was nice And then when I reached the hall there was Kris and Marie and everyone gathered by the door and I had a thoroughly enjoyable chat with them catching up with news and discussing Hawkwind t-shirt fashions - but it was much too short 'cos I'd left it a bit late and suddenly there was only ten minutes to go! Everyone suddenly scattered and I found my niche and settled in with time to admire the stage. It's a simple but well-dressed stage - tall androids flank either side and long silver wings extend across the top - I like those wings there's a definite air of distinction about them. Rob's done a set list and Criz has relevant track comments on the Other List (this divide is a bit like the House of Commons / House of Lords!) but Dibbs immediately hit the right tone and atmosphere with Abducted - very clear vocals and with the band diving straight into "The Right Stuff" backed by early footage of jet aircraft and their pilots the set started immediately with a fast, well balanced, solid heavy driving sound. It's a sound I think that will be excellent in the open air at a Festival - forceful, powerful, fast and creatiing, I thought, a very well structured set. Even the quieter tracks have something intense about them and I thought this was excellent - no-one had a chance to lose attention or drift away and start chattering to the person next door - each track demanded your full attention - maybe not always to dance to but certainly to listen. As an indoors gig though it was VERY VERY LOUD with loads of fizz up the high end. The only unintegrated bit was an odd interlude in the middle of The Right Stuff which didn't seem to fit too well but things picked up again as the track went along - it was, for me, the only unstructured moment. Jez Hugget played a melodic flute overlay during Sword of the East - perhaps more Moody Blues than ethereal - but the sound came through beautifully while Greenback Massacre (which I confess is not musically my favourite) was out and out metal rock - but it reminds me just how versatile Hawkwind are! Very efficient, very powerful - other bands get old and plod pedantically along - by contrast Hawkwind craft and create a track of ripping intensity and play it so efficiently you wonder if they have left all thought of space rock behind them for ever. But they haven't. 7x7 slows it down again - cleverly starting with a steady chunky beat to bring the previous track into this one matching the words match perfectly to the rhythm but merge into a more fluid elegant sound as the track progresses. This is much more relaxing and drifts into Out Here We Are with lots of saxophone. Angela Android keeps the harder rhythm going and contains some very sharp almost vicious knife-edged guitar sounds - very uncomfortable in an enclosed environment but probably very effective in an open festival arena. Love in Space was elegant - as it always is - smooth and nicely extended while Lord of Light was accompanied by some stunningly beautiful galaxy images and Paradox was just fantastic - I dunno why - and maybe I shouldn't admit it! - but it almost moves me to tears whenever I hear it and along with Golden Void has to get my vote for track of the 20th century! Anyhow - at this point I should mention that there were dancers on stage. Being where I was I saw little of them but during Spirit of the Age I was aware that she was wearing a truly impressive set of wings - though I'm not entirely sure why. Psi Power kept the rhythm moving steadily along as well as being stunningly well organised, rhythmic and controlled - it actually got me dancing around nicely - the first track to do so! Assassins on the other hand has matured into something quite dark and sinister - admirably contemporary it seems judging by the news. The Arabian melody and beat is still there but it's a hard, fierce, angry almost regimented beat now - you can almost imagine armies marching out to it - it forms a menacing interlude in the middle of the track but integrates well - however the wierd thing was that in the midst of all this I got a call on my mobile - Mike Holmes up in Edinburgh was inviting me to the pub for a drink!! Sorry Mike -couldn't make it but I hope you were impressed by the live Hawkwind background! 8-) Brainstorm and Upside Down integrate well - both are more or less in the same key so although the tempo slows there's no shifting around musically which makes the transition a really easy one to listen to and they merge nicely. And that finished the set at 10.30. Excellent. The encore was Psychedelic Warlords and a thoroughly enjoyable Brainbox Pollution with thermal images of naked dancers then the band went off and came back again! Hooray. I don't know who was messing around with the keyboard/piano sound - but they were good! Nice bit of classical that was - excellent stuff! The chords steadily merged into something I recognised and slowly but surely Lighthouse was created - and what an excellently sung track it was. Richard (I understand did this one) suited it perfectly and the accompanying images were some of the most beautiful I've seen - perhaps they've been around before and I've not noticed them properly but here was a drive through the galaxy starting with earth, zooming around past the planets and swooping low over their moons - almost grazing the surface before flying on again out into deep space and far out to the galaxies and beyond. The instrument bit that finished off the track was, possibly I felt, still not fully developed and didn't seem to go anywhere. But when it does. Wow. It was such a good end to the show. I was very impressed. I hope you all will be.

I don't think the new one has a great deal to say for itself, and my favourite is still the _Live '79_ version in fact, I prefer Dav'es emotional reading of it to Calvert's robotic one, but at least the new SOTA does actually fit into the album concept (perhaps because teh album was built around it).

I think that particular chord progression is always a winner :-) I agree about the mix, though I'm not sure the EBS mastering to CD didn't rather lower the bar down to CYM's level as I don't notice *that* much difference between them.

I went record-hunting on Saturday in Brighton and found myself nice vinyls of _Friends and Relations: Twice Upon a Time_ and _Chronicle of the Black Sword_ (The Flickknife issue; do they all have that inner? That's a nice thing). The guy had a lot more stuff also, including three copies of WotEoT and the 2LP of _Alien4_, the _Quark_ EP, _25 Years On_, Castle Masters Collection, nothing terribly rare on vinyl I guess which is all he had, but in case anyone wanted me to pick up any of it for their Kollections I thought I'd mention it. He had most of the EMI albums too, and a small raft of Motorhead stuff (inc. the Headgirl EP and _Golden Years Live_), nothing that's not out rematsred on CD though except _What's Words Worth_.

I think that's his only solo release so it's probably the one you heard. I've got some albums he plays on (Rhys Chatham - An Angel Moves Too Fast To See, La Monte Young & The Forever Bad Blues Band - Just Stompin, some early Swans material) but in all those cases he's basically serving someone else's vision. They do give an indication of where he's coming from though, especially the Forever Bad Blues Band stuff which was apparetly the direct inspiration for February.

Saying that though, Lord Of Light, Paradox, Psychedelic Warlords and Upside Down are previous gig surprises of such high quality that they more than do the job. As an aside, I'm sure I recall talk of Treadmill making a brief reappearance in the set fairly recently... did this really happen or just wishful thinking on my part? Anyway, the band were tight, the lights were great, the venue was excellent for getting a good view... a fine evening indeed! Don't recall mention of a DVD though, or seeing cameras, but who knows?! And I'd have to agree, someone making purely the Del/Dik Mik type swooshes and so on would always be good! Personally it's the violin I miss most, but swooshes, bleeps and... what IS that sound??!!... are always good to hear! Great gig though... keeping Hawkwind still atop of the pile for me.

Walker Alien Planetscapes was one of the great pioneering members of the American underground Space Rock scene for over 2 decades. The driving force behind the band throughout the years was Doug "Dr Synth" Walker, who passed away on April 4th. Doug had an encyclopedic knowledge of all forms of music, and was an all around extraordinary human being. This is a 2 part show, featuring Alien Planetscapes music from throughout the years, and includes commentary from Doug between tracks, taken from a 1998 interview conducted for Aural Innovations. Be sure and listen to BOTH parts of the show. Ye shall be rewarded. Note that Scott and Bonnie at Starry Night Records have been tasked with selling Doug Walker?s record collection, which is HUGE. You can visit their web site at www.starrynightrecords.com. They will also be selling much of it on Ebay. Search for seller StarryNightRecords. Part I ?Mr Sparkle?

After a few months a few of us thought it would be cool to start collaborating together by dropping our loops into a pool shared by everyone in the group and see what kind of music came out. Basically we're a bunch of artists who have fun combining sounds in different ways and hearing how other artists combine those sounds in other ways.
