I have to go to a Halloween party tomorrow.
I'm going as a 70s roadie.

Don't put yourself out

My only concession to the theme of the event
is that I am wearing this shirt:

Kind of Halloween-ish, innit?

That is a cool t-shirt

Great band too.
Started the US 60s garage/psych revival in the 80s almost singlehandedly.

What's happened to the "Monty Boyce Wheels of Steel Mobile Disco"?
a while back it seemed you were DJing every weekend

I flounced due to an inability on my part to deal with the total cunt punters.

Or in other words...
...those who don't like Gong.

Even I wouldn't play Gong in a club.
EDIT I've just remembered, I have. I am a liar.

Ever tried dropping in a bit of Hawkwind?
Surely you could get the buggers dancing to a bit of Hurry on Sundown or Silver Machine?

Many times.
I have a 12" of 'Motorhead' which is always in the box. The 'Kings of Speed' 45 is a regular too.
(, Fri 29 Oct 2010, 12:05, Reply)
Ah, good choices.
The Hawkwind version of 'Motorhead,' I presume? I do think it works a lot better than Motorhead's own reworking of that one.
(, Fri 29 Oct 2010, 12:09, Reply)
Yes.
And Hawkwind have themselves done two versions, one's better than the other.
(, Fri 29 Oct 2010, 12:11, Reply)
Ooh, now that I didn't know.
I may have to see if any kind soul has bunged the second version on youtube.
(, Fri 29 Oct 2010, 12:13, Reply)
Which is the favoured version?
And what album was it on?
(, Fri 29 Oct 2010, 12:16, Reply)
One has Lemmy singing, the other Dave Brock.

(, Fri 29 Oct 2010, 12:16, Reply)
Oh, hang on,
I do have a second version with Brock on vocals, which I think was recorded live (it sounds a lot more rough and there's no sax or violin) - is that the one you meant, or is there a second studio cut?
(, Fri 29 Oct 2010, 12:20, Reply)
I cannot remember. I may have to double check
I recall (perhaps wrongly) that the version on my Motorhead 4-LP compilation (which has a Hawkwind version) is different from my 12".

Arrive dressed like Pamela des Barres with a mudshark* wedged in your arsehole.
*Edit - Bring a red snapper too as it is a bit vague what sort of fish was used.
