We'll > probably need that metal and so forth after a while... Yours, The problem is the deltavee cost of capturing the scrap and then changing its orbit to match that of the ISS. It's a non-trivial issue and orbital mechanics will tell you that in the age of rockets, it's teh deltavee costs which are mission-limiting. This is because the weight and volume of fuel (which supplies the deltavee) is compounded by the magic of second order differential equations when you have to lift all the fuel out of a gravity well, using yet more fuel. There's also no way to process the materials at the ISS since there's no real manufacturing requirement there. All that could change in the future of course. Maybe we'll ultimately get away from rockets and into nuclear-electric drives which won't be so deltavee-limited (pace the ion drive probe moving around the asteroid belt now). It could be a while before anyone is doing manufacturing up there which would require raw materials. So for now, the best thing to do with all the junk is burn it up to get it out of the way.

Hopefully it is known that I love and thrive "finding the negative" and "seeing the bad in things", but I swear it is with good purpose. if this is a hoax it is bigger than I first suspected. Reading the comments is alternately annoying as I would expect, and bizarrely interesting. I love when other people preach with few words "remember to never clean your records just play them" and "one big mono speaker can be better than stereo" (or that was my interpretation) Interesting comments. also, funny one person was saying how pathetic it is. I just had a guy ( I was mad at for perpetuating a curse with amateur packing) accuse me of pursuing "frivolous show pieces" Instead of heading straight into a fight, I thanked him for making me laugh, copped to it, and then came the refund. I guess the first Floating Anarchy (white jacket) that has the cheapest price and the full advice to steal it might be a little rare. there are at least 3 of them, and one of the German kollketors showed them recently. I wonder if he requires a black, blue or green log for his XISOS? All these years later and I still haven't got any I can see..... I confess, there was something for me in it.

Since your mentioning me gave way to a gaseous release on my part, I want to make clear (since I can be misunderstood), that I appreciated the article from the very second I saw the link. I just asked a friend in UK about it and was told he is a regular contributor and that it would not likely be a hoax. I suggest sending him an eBay link. There are many ways to get vinyl, but that is where you would be most apt to easily grab the rare stuff in nice shape. (by just sitting like a spider with a web and waiting for it) If I were to actually think the guy needed my help, there is that fear that he might publish my leads (I'm semi bullshitting again with this) Anyway, in a word: "eBay".... I find it curious it doesn't make much mention of mail-order (or did it?), which is pretty much THE WAY to shop nowdays, unless you can roam the world at leisure. Meanwhile I have been so hard at work on "who is God", who is "ET", "who is Satan" etc, and have concluded it is ALL INSANE no mattter how you slice it. The gods must be crazy, and I find myself amused how the entire 'body of Christ" might be changed hands entirely by switching out old terms of "angels/demons" with "space technicians" Whats the difference anyway, besides the former allowing humans to feel a little more "special".

Comes only 2 days after the HW mail confirming release as 30th April. Oh well it just would not be a new Hawkwind release without at least one change in date! Increases the anticipation levels though.

I might make it to Roadburn again some day but at the moment it needs more coordination than I can spare to be online in the right twenty minutes of each year to sign up. I seem to be fated to miss Farflung when they come to Europe anyway, but since they didn't touch the UK I might have struggled. Anyway, I hope this touring portends new recording! The latest news seems not to be on their MySpace but on a blog, here: http://farflungmusic.blogspot.co.uk/ There's comments enabled, but only with some form of authentication (LJ, Google, OpenID, etc.) Anubian Lights, meanwhile, seem to have been quiet since their tour as part of Brainticket; I suppose it's a bit much expecting them both to be going at once... Still, it bodes well that either are busy I reckon.

Hadn't seen the blog, but it may well carry the same info, generally. As for recording, I've seen Farflung and/or Grenas post a few teasers from new recordings in recent months -- so, yes, this seems to be happening.

They have a split album out with White Hills. The last Space Rock show on Aural Innovations leads off with a song from it.
