 	I'm here, just back in the timewarp because of university term 
having swallowed me up black-hole like. Back on the other side again now 
though. Significant Hawk- or Friends-related things that I have recently 
learned are:

(1) The new Bevis Frond album is really good, even if missing the huge 
fifteen-minute fuzz-and-delay extravaganza I wish he still did;

(2) I missed a Frond gig last winter in London because he now advertises 
this stuff only via Facebook and Yahoo Groups; actually maybe *that's* why 
I haven't been on list much, because one upon a time someone would have 
mentioned it *here* yannow...

(3) Not to be tarred with the same brush, I will therefore tell you that 
Mick Farren & The Deviants, featuring Russell Hunter on drums and Duncan 
Sanderson on bass and Andy Colquhon on guitar, plus who knows what else, 
are playing London at the Borderline *this here Friday the 23rd* and there 
were still tickets as of UK lunchtime today because that's when I bought 
mine, see www.rhythmgigs.com for more info and your own purchase 
possibilities.

(4) I am actually a bit excited by the possibility of more new Hawkwind so 
soon after the last lot. Can't be completely jaded yet after all!

(5) I am still slowly acquiring the Atomhenge remasters and am pretty 
happy with _Space Bandits_, which is not something I would ever have 
anticipated myself sayin ten years ago.

(6) I know of nothing to report that's even faintly BÖOC-related, does 
anyone else?

(7) This actually isn't Hawk-related at all except in as much as they 
played Strange Daze the same year but Red Giant just managed to release a 
third album and it is *really good*, a happy blend of the delay-soaked 
complications of the first one and the heads-down riffery of the second, 
it is called _Dysfunctional Majesty_ and I humbly commend it to those here 
assembled who like their heavy swaggering proggy fuzz-rock.

 	Howzat? Yours,
 			Jon
