LINK: Dave Brock from Hawkwind speaks


Hawkwind is over 40 years old, but doesn’t miss a beat. You always play live, you did 4 albums in the last 7 years. But you never really had a stable line up: different musicians, different people. How did  you manage to keep Hawkwind up and running? You must be a genius to do that.
Yes it is hard work keeping it all going, trying to get the best out of people.
On November 26th there will be two important releases. One is “Stellar Variations” and is released as Hawkwind Light orchestra. The other, that was somehow announced few months ago, is “Looking For Love In The Lost Land Of Dreams”. It is a solo album of yours, but on the press information I read your words “It’s an album that was created using different recording techniques. It’s a collection of recordings that capture those magic moments that one tries to achieve in the studio”. Can you tell me about when this music has been originally created?
Looking for Love in the Lost Land of Dreams was created over the last 5 years, in-between working on Hawkwind projects. Stellar Variations was created last winter when the weather was very bad and Hawkwind projects had to be put on hold.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
