Mike, I assume you don' t need recs for the 2 Hawkwind ones (which I will manage to make some year.  Really.  I expect to get some time back when Rich and I shut down the bookstore this year.)

If Julie is still on list, she goes to a few which seem decent.

Otherwise, ask on the FB group?  Seems to be the happening place these days.

Yeah, I think someone forgot to take their meds again this week. 
Certainly Christian produces such drivel that I automatically delete it, which of course means that I'll miss it those more rare occasions when he writes something interesting. Still that's the price people pay for spamming.

But year, some of us are still here, but I agree there's not been much discussion of Hawkwind issues.

One thing I did mean to ask is which Brit festivals would be worth a look these days. I used to go to Glastonbury, but when it's wet, it's just to huge and guaranteed to turn into a quagmire. I'd quote like a smaller festival where there's still some stuff to do other than listen to bands; where the food isn't just burgers; and where the music would be of interest to someone into Hawk type music and electronica.

Suggestions on an ecard....
