Fret not, Playing With Fire has one via Space Age records, a two disc version. It's the one to get.

just finished the Morse book, anyone else read it?

i read most of a friends copy back when it came out... a load of what's in there has been summarized on wikipedia but at the time all the behind-the-scene stuff was unknown to me and pretty interesting (like them signing their big deal after they'd all but split already). would like to reread it sometime.

Yeah I have that book

given that Sonic obviously cooperated with the author more than Jason did, it's funny how Sonic still comes off as the bigger asshole. I found the more hyperbolic interludes totally tiresome, but the nuts and bolts of their touring and recording was pretty interesting.

I was interviewed for it. It's OK... thought that the DREAMWEAPON framing device at the beginning was somewhat of a stretch. I wish that the book was being written now - there's more stories and folks seem more talkative now.

Sonic complaining that Jason was using/"stealing" his effects/techniques for songs that were going on a Spacemen 3 record is so wtf

junkies amirite
Well, this is new to me. 80 minutes of video footage (apparently with enhanced audio and video from original) of a 1989 concert in Arnheim, shot by the promoter. Sounding really good so far.

Listening to 'Recurring' tonight because a friend said she was listening to it a couple nights ago. It's not like I've never tried to like Spacemen 3 in the past, but it never worked. Tonight? It's working. Yay!
I'll preemptively declare I still find Spiritualized to be incredibly boring, but maybe 2021 will be a surprising year.

Recurring is a lot of fun IMO, and you should work backwards to Playing With Fire if you dig it
Sonic > Jason but damn Jason had some good tunes

What saves them from being mere junkie-bores though is an honesty about the darker side, and the euphoria they capture in their music.
yeah this (from nineteen years ago)

I always figured that to be the case, but I can now confirm that you do not.

Off Festival in Poland has both Sonic and Spiritualized on the line-up: https://off-festival.pl
(this led to a funny social media exchange about if there was a Spacemen 3 reunion, it would be a spontaneous one-off in Poland.

Will is so great. The second Freelovebabies album is probably my favorite S3 related thing besides Spiritualized.
