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

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 🐝🐝🐝

Hawkwind at the Barbican. Epic. Nice mention of Simon House by Dave before Golden Void as well. 🚀🚀🚀 #Hawkwind #BarbicanCentre

Phenomenal. #Hawkwind

One of the brightest moments of Hawkbinge was recording the Quark episode, and in particular Matt's description of the "absolutely glorious" instrumental section in Damnation Alley. Listened to the track and the chat again this morning. RIP Simon House. 🚀🚀🚀 #Hawkwind
