Oh to have this framed on the wall... Barney you legend. 🚀🚀🚀

Our competition winner, sporting his iconic and unfeasibly fashionable Hawkbinge season one t-shirt, and the two volumes of Paul Garbutt's marvelous books, the one and only Mr David Collinge! 👏👏👏 And thx Paul for the donation 🙏 🚀🚀🚀 (also, some bees were helped a bit) 🐝

Soon... 🛸

Arrived today. The cd/blu ray set with the new mixes and 5.1 was stunning, but I do love me some vinyl and this remaster sounds stellar ✌️ 🚀🚀🚀 #Hawkwind #CherryRed

1/6 Ep 30: End of Season Special Great chat with Ian about "orphan tracks" not on the 90's studio albums, and live versions that are different or better than their studio versions. Always a fun part of our End of Season episodes - link below in the thread... @ianabrahams.bsky.social 🗿🗿🗿

On our season wrap-up with special guests we each choose 3 tracks from the decade that didn't make it into studio albums for whatever reason. For the 90's. Matt, Andy and Ian picked these... @ianabrahams.bsky.social tinyurl.com/3nx3petp

Ep 30: We spent some time on our end-of-season episode with Ian chatting about the wonderful book by Marion Lloyd-Langton about Huw and their lives together. Can't recommend highly enough, a thoroughly engaging, revealing and enjoyable read 😎 🚀🚀🚀 @ianabrahams.bsky.social #Hawkwind

END OF SEASON EPISODE ALERT!!! 💥 A fun chat with the excellent @ianabrahams.bsky.social on 90’s Hawkwind, his HW writing & a wonderful book from Marion Lloyd-Langton. Plus competition winner & our orphan track picks from the decade… Wherever you get your podcasts... 🗿🗿🗿 #Hawkwind

Never really connected with the 1st album - until now. Stephen W Taylor's new mixes, especially the 5.1, are sensational. Looking forward to the vinyl. Gorgeousl set from Cherry Red 🚀🚀🚀 Great essay from Rob Godwin, and a pic of the Friends zine that I have! #Hawkwind

RECORDED 🗿🗿🗿 Season 3 finale and 90's wrap-up episode with a very special guest is in the bag! Will drop soon... 🚀🚀🚀

Klemen Breznikar kindly interviewed me about Peter Hammill and the book for It's Psychedelic Baby. I feel this piece offers a particularly good insight into my guiding thoughts around PH's music and presentation... Thanks Klemen! www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2026/01/rock...

Cheers Philip! 🙏 🚀🚀🚀

Cheers Joe! 🙏 🚀🚀🚀

Ep 29: the pleading post 🥺 We don't do this for ads or status, we'd just love to reach as many old and new Hawkwind fans as poss and share Matt's journey. Ratings, likes and reviews are HUGE for us, given our irregular schedule. Would really appreciate it if you can... 🚀🚀🚀

"The role that women played in [early] electronic music was so important. Daphne Oram, Suzanne Ciani, Delia Derbyshire..." Stephen Mallinder on Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson – The Legend Of Hell House (#CabaretVoltaire will tour for the last time in 2026) buff.ly/8xMo5yq

1/3 Ep 29: Hawkbinge merch! ✌️ We are a proudly money-losing operation, no ads, no paywall, no patreon or membership. The same goes for our merch, where all of our proceeds go to the British Bee Charity. Info in the thread below... 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Ep 29 The Hawkbinge Master playlist - Matt's singular pick from every album covered. Matt's choices are rarely obvious given his 'new listener' pov, so it's an interesting listen, especially on shuffle. What would your master playlist be? 🚀🚀🚀 open.spotify.com/playlist/3f5...

1/8 HAWKBINGE SESSIONS PLAYLISTS on Spotify. With the release of vol 7, here are links to them all. Each combines Matt's picks from the previous few HW albums covered + his & Andy's picks from other artists they've been playing in between episodes. It's an eclectic mix! 🚀🚀🚀

5/5 Ep 29: HAWKBINGE SESSIONS PLAYLIST VOL 7 released on Spotify, featuring Matt’s picks from the 90’s Hawkwind albums plus his & Andy’s turntable picks from the records they’ve been spinning in between podcast episodes. And check out volumes 1-6 while you're there 🗿🗿🗿

Hawkbinge podcast ep 29 "In Your Area" artwork by Rob Godwin. We had no info about Rob, but thx to a listener we now know that Rob played a huge role at Griffin releasing and promoting Hawkwind. Apparently ties with NASA too, very apt 🚀 🗿🗿🗿

4/5 Ep 29 turntable picks: Andy’s #2 is ELP’s “Brain Salad Surgery”, 1973 on Manticore. After an ELP binge Andy ended loving side 1 of Tarkus and side 2 of this, but this won out. Virtuosity, great keyboard riffs & Lake's vox. Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends!

3/5 Ep 29 turntable picks: Matt’s #2 is “The Monolith”, the debut album from X Minus One, 2025. Inspired by atom punk: the retro futuristic sci-fi of the 50’s-60's. Matt says “it’s as if Fallout went off it’s meds and became totally feral” xminusone.band

Ep 29: we were also very happy to chat to Paul Garbutt on the podcast about the live side of "In Your Area", as he actually saw this tour in the flesh. We got into his marvelous books, his love for current Hawkwind & the vast number of HW gigs he's been to 🚀 🗿🗿🗿 #Hawkwund

2/5 Ep 29 turntable picks: Andy’s #1 is another collab: “Pigs of the Roman Empire” by Melvins + Lustmord, IPECAC 2004. Such a bizarre mashup of Melvins raw stoner/grunge & Lustmord’s experimental electronics, but it works so well. Heavy + weird #melvins #Lustmord #IpecacRec

1/5 Ep 29 turntable picks: Matt’s #1 is “Thank You For Almost Everything” by Headache on PLZ Make It Ruins, 2025. Headache is a collab between producer Vegyn and poet Francis Hornsby Clark. Witty, surreal and uplifting, a wonderful way to start 2026 😎 #PLZMakeItRuins #vegyn

We start the new year by announcing that the YouTube version of the new episode is now live! 🗿🚀🗿🚀🗿 #Hawkwind youtu.be/XZPsXoKl1NM?...

NEW EPISODE ALERT 💥💥💥 Nearly 2 hours of “In Your Area” deep-diving??? Right here. Learn what Matt made of this half live/half studio oddity. And see which very special guest they enlisted to help them through it... Wherever you get your podcasts... #Hawkwind

Lord of the Hornets 💥💥💥

Another Hawkwind gig, another photo with Mr Greenwood and that marvellous tye-dye Hawkbinge shirt 🚀 🗿🗿🗿

HAWKWIND doing Hawkwind things in Worthing last night. Brilliant set. First time I've heard the acoustic/spoken "Days of the Underground" - beautiful. Captain on great form 🚀🚀🚀

Looking forward to giving this one a read 🚀 @ianabrahams.bsky.social

Sunset tonight at Stonehenge 📸 : Stonehenge Dronescapes

🤘😥🤘

Very cool and fascinating finds 🙏 Anyone reading this who doesn't follow Joe should do so, he's posting a lot of these 🚀

Today's Hawkwind-related cutting is actually from the promotional interviews that Robert Calvert did around the release of Captain Lockheed And The Starfighters, appearing in Sounds, 27 April 1974. Nice hair, Bob... (BTW, more cuts here: www.daysoftheunderground.com/press-cuttings)

Today's Hawkwind cut from the British Library archive - Sounds, 1 June 1974 - is an interview with Simon House after having just 'officially' joined the band, though he'd actually been with them since January. That look is pure 'hip scientist in early 70s TV sci-fi series'...

And awesome to see Ian and Phillip.. Hawkwind gigs are great meeting-up occasions 🚀🙂✌️ @Abrahams_Ian @PGJonesVenice

Brilliant to see Hawkbinge represented at the gig! Watching Hawkwind, supporting Hawkbinge, saving bees 🙏 I was particularly enamored of the rather spectacular tye-dyed version... Many thanks Andrew & Branwell. The bees will be grateful 🐝🐝🐝
