HW: Monster Magnet - Hawkwind Tie-ins

[Karen Kusic]

Forgot to add a comment to this email!

Regarding point 5) . . .
The first thing that came to *my* mind when I heard "Look to Your Orb"
was the riff from "Time We Left This World Today."

Do re mi . . . repeat after me . . .

It's great to see a Hawkwind influenced band getting some widespread
recognition!

Going to the MM show 10/21 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!  Yeah!
