Best of HW covers & Assassins of Silence/Hundred Watt Violence

[Doug]

>Hawkwind Covers Tapes *and* the 2LP covers compilation, _Assassins of
>Silence/100 Watt Violence_ put out by Doug Bates.  The ones you don't

I'd love to take credit for that wonderful LP, but in fact it was Doug
Ceres (sp?). We did converse by email for a while after he left the list
but I've lost his address. Now I'm rather fuzzy about his last name.
He contributed several tracks to the BOC-L covers tapes that were not on
his tribute LP. In fact some were never released on anything official,
one by ST37 comes to mind. The dude knows space rock like no one else.

On a related note, I'd like to think Paul and I had a hand in naming a
Brain Surgeons CD. There had been a few posts about the 13th Floor El-
evators and I posted about Roky Ericson's method of obtaining enlighten-
ment. Paul pefectly nailed the idea I tried to convey down to one word,
Trepanation!
