That reminds me...anything come about from the idea of linking up HW with a
sci-fi convention or fan-only gig??

Cool...I heard that Dave visited Lemmy out west with Jim L. and Shawn
Ahearn.  I hope that means Lemmy will guest with the band, although perhaps
it'll only be in the west. (?)

Are MH touring to promote the new dbl live disc?

>- HW are supposed to do the soundtrack for the next series of Babylon 5.

!!  Really?  What constitutes a 'series' for B5...a whole year?  I thought
the show was over?  But then I haven't seen it since it went on cable.

Saw this on Amazon.com:

>Customers who bought titles by Hawkwind also bought titles by this artist:

AWRIGHT!!  Who was it???  Fess up!!  (It's your fault, Swann, I bet!)

P.S.  Actually, I recently caught part of a performance of Alanis on SNL,
and the music was pretty decent.  Dark, psychedelic sort of thing...but
anytime she opened her mouth, this 'hideous cackling cacophony' sprang
forth.  (That has to be a 'Dr. Smith-ism' eh?)  Too bad.
