Happy New Years everybody! This album has occupied my head for the last three weeks. Am I the only one who thinks this album merits one of those 33 1/3 mini books about albums? THere is so much going on I would love to know how it all came about. I wonder if Deke Dickerson picked Nokie's brain about these sessions.

I've got to track down that Ventures in Space album some day. I love how the cover has a hot rod and a view over LA and virtually nothing to do with space.

I figure we've probably got a bunch of Estrus-era (vocal) garage rock fans around here. The new Th' Losin Streaks is really really great, and plenty to enjoy from a guitar perspective https://slovenly.bandcamp.com/album/th-losin-streaks-this-band-will-self-destruct-in-t-minus-lp

If you were parked up on Mulholland Drive or the far end of Laurel Canyon owning a VW could have everything to do with "space." (If you had a not-sexy-outside but fully-reclining bench front seat Rambler like I did there was lots of it.)
Not that I recognize that view or anything... long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Still a phenomenal album cover though.

Oh yeah - very easy to have totally "spacey" views in those spots overlooking LA. Whether you actually saw stars or not is another question.

Hadn't thought of this song in years. A line from a movie on TV made it pop into my head. Good tune...

Nice, Hogfysshe! I loved the Bangles when they were a mod group.
