No Dope + Hawkwind??????

[Rich Warren]

I'd just like to say as a (retired)goth 'Temple of Love' will put me
straight onto the dancefloor.

Mind you so would Ace of Spades.

And I have Danced to 'Groovy Train' by The Farm (alot) But then that was a
particularly sad episode in my life.

Sigh...Roll on the Tim Blake Muzak, I suppose the redeeming feature would be
they'd cut his singing for muzak...heh.
