bubbly, psychedelic disco machines

'disco mushrooms'. Yessssss!

They'd get stuck in your throat.

These are more effective and less conspicuous:

I've got one of these in the loft.

You've hijacked my evening - I have now embarked on a trawl through YouTube for my old Soft Machine and Hawkwind albums!

I liked the early Soft Machine with Robert Wyatt, but I also liked some of their later more jazzy stuff. I have just stumbled across something that I haven't heard for nearly 40 years. A mate had a spluttery mono recording of a Soft Machine concert on the BBC in 1971 and there is a pristine copy of it on YT, in stereo. I am listening to it now and remembering being 15.

Oh, and my mate had one of those liquid wheel projectors, which we used to aim at the wall while we listened to this kind of stuff ...



I found Stacia cavorting quite interesting at the time too ...

I don't have to trawl through Youtube. I still have the vinyl. The predictable 'pops' and 'hisses' are as comforting as the music.

Up until about three years ago I used to be the drummer in a Hawkwind tribute band. A truly awful noise.

For some obscure reason, I gave away my entire record collection and stopped listening to music when I was in my early 30s!

Ah yes.
