Sunny Cornwall, UK.
On a bit of a Hawkwind thing this horrible rainy Saturday. This time it's their excellent 'Quark Strangeness and Charm' album of 1977. This is the double album reissue containing many extra live recordings.

I've got the serum and I'm going to take it
All the way to Boston, oh I've got to get through
The going won't be easy, but I'm going to make it
It's the only thing that I'm cut out to do
Ride the post-atomic radioactive trash
The sky's on fire from that nuclear flash.
Diving through the burning hoop of doom in an
eight wheeled anti-radiation tomb
Thank you Dr. Strangelove for going do-lally and
leaving me the heritage of Damnation Alley, Damnation Alleyway

No more Arizona, now Phoenix is fried up
Oklahoma City what a pity it's gone
Louisiana delta where the Mississip's dried up
No more Chatanooga, Cherokee, Lexington
Radiation wasteland, radiation wasteland
Ashes coming at me now, craters coming at me now
Radiation wasteland, I've got my anti-radiation machine
Thank you Dr. Strangelove, I said thank you Dr.
Strangelove
For giving me the ashes and post-atomic dust
The sky is raining fishes it's a mutation zoo
Going down Damnation Alley, well good luck to you
Good luck to you now
Armor plated angel, motor-pony express
Armor plated angel, motor-pony express
Going down Damnation Alley it's one hell of a mess

In the sticks in Mississippi
While listening to my new speakers I've been going through a lot of my old vinyl and cds. I came across this little gem that I hadn't played in years, complete with the used record price tag still on it. Oh no, you say! Not an old nasty sounding Telarc from the late 1970s and early 1980s! Well for once I was surprised that it was not bad at all, but a decent performance and no heavy bass drum that Telarc was so famous for. I have no idea how they managed that, but it was a great listen. 😉
