Part Three of Musical Anomalies: Hawkwind

Hawkwind continues the thread of musical anomalies as a change of pace. detouring into how anomalous phenomenon effected and influenced the whims of popular culture. This bizarre mutation of popular music hat originated from busking on a street corner randomly morphed into a danceable variant of Pink Floyd that set the stage for punk rock and raves while lurching into psychoactive drugs within the context of science fiction skewed with mythology. Got that?

That hybridised mix in turn was infused with an equally strange variation of technological paganism whose spectrum enfolded Stonehenge musical gatherings into a science fiction genre.

For your consideration is how possible would it be for such a musical group today to land a contract with corporate media?

...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.
