skull_bearerWatching a program about Hawkwind, a mad acid rock band from the '70s who's music was written by people on LSD, preformed by people on LSD, and listened to by people on LSD. They're pretty good, and anyone who had preform alternative music with strobe lights while f*cked up on acid gets my vote. I bet my dad would be able to name each and every one of them. The main reason I'm watching this though, is because it had the magic words in the summery: Interview. With. Micheal. Moorcock.
One of my favourite authors ever.
You probably have never heard of him. Have you ever heard of the multiverse? Or the nine pointed star symbolising chaos? How about Elric? Blame Moorcock. I ran into his books when I was fifteen and have loved it ever since. He's not the best writer, nor the most original. His writing style is good, but I've read better. I like him because everything he does comes together to make something completely new. You can't pin it down, but it's fantastic, and not something to read while on drugs (as the author undoubtably was when he wtote it). Corum is good, his one-shots are great, and Elric of Melnibone has a place on my 'favourite characters of all time' list (along with Raistlin and Magneto).
Anyway, enough typing, I'm enjoying this.
