Animation - Millenium


A slice of Sci-Fi pop as twee and folksy as the Joan Baez soundtrack to Silent Running. It's a song about love between the unconscious crew of a starship searching for a new home planet; earth having been destroyed and mankind ensalved as androids... a situation even more tragic than paying £1 for 3 titles from a Science Fiction book club.

That was the 60's and now I'm bored of space: 5 mile long starships containing dome-covered forests? Airbrushed psi-bots that can steal your thoughts by touch? Swamp planets where the currency is soil...?

...sorry, I'm just not interested. I'll stay on Earth and read about it (as long as I buy 3 full price titles a year for 2 years).

Mitch Ryder I'd Rather Go To Jail - Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels

Forbidden love or time behind bars? That's the tricky romantic dilemma for frantic blue-eyed soul shouter Mitch Ryder and his Detroit Wheels.

Come to think of it, Jail might not be that bad: Regular meals, regular exercise, pet rats, a job in the library or on the prison farm; the chance to talk with fellow inmates about the natural inclination of this or that woman towards infidelity...

You might even get to meet that Charles Bronson bloke that's always on Channel 5 (that's the psychotic, tattooed tabloid prisoner and not the star of Death Wish, Mr. Majestyk and Family of Cops I, II and III)

Manifesto & Book News

If it's ever been on K-Tel or Ronco, it's in. If it features hand claps, cow bells, syrupy orchestration, walls of sound, wrecking crews, sha-la-las, toothy teen idols, candy-based metaphors for carnal acts or lyrics about hugging, squeezing and rocking all night long, it's in.

The override! Where's the override?
