Collapse

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

There is also a Hawkwind album based on this story. Now I wouldn't say it's great album but it's a neat bit of trivia and a fun listen if you proggy space rock
I vaguely remember Hawkwind: wasn't that a project that Lemmy Kilminster was in before Motorhead? I listened to them back in my stoner daze. But I left all of that behind, so I haven't listened to as much psychedelia ever since.
That's right, he was the bassist for them before they kicked him out for somehow doing even more drugs than they did. The song "motorhead," was originally a hawkwind song. They are still going after all this time. They're much more famous in the UK - "your dad's hawkwind albums" is basically a punchline.
I'm more of a stoner metal/rock guy - too much noodling and I lose interest. But hawkwind's albums up until the departure of Roger Calvert are classic.
They were a huge influence on Monster Magnet - they've covered two hawkwind songs and there's a couple stolen licks here and there.
Yes, that makes sense. There used to be this place called Tower Records in London, which I visited the one time I actually stayed in London (I'm from the USA). And this was, at the time, probably the biggest and best-stocked record store I had seen, so I bought a bunch of stuff. Hawkwind albums were among them. In those days there was an "old rock revival" ongoing and also that was the heyday of the first wave stoner rock/metal as well. Very interesting to reminisce on those days which seem like a lifetime ago.
