The Planets Are Blasted

Wow Bob Wow. Brown Submarine floored me... and somehow this one is even better! 'Dorothy's A Planet' is just the perfect remake, 'Keep Me Down' is the best new one and 'Sight On Sight' is one of those songs that only Bob can write/make work. The sequencing on this is a homerun, my favorite transition being 'Catherine From Mid-October' into 'Headache Revolution.' The whole album is an incredible trip. I can barely imagine what Zero To 99 will bring...

The Crawling Distance

This album has made me shed more than a couple of tears. There's so much here, a lot of emotion and a strong sense of jubilation. It hits you deep but it makes you smile and pump your fist at the same time. These songs will be glorious live, specially my obvious favorite 'No Island.'

Headache Revolution

The title song first surfaced as an online video that came with the Isolation Drills TVT site. Bob selected a song from one of his many notebooks and played it on his guitar. This recording later made it on to Suitcase 2 and now the Spaceships have done a masterful full band version. This version first melted faces live on the Brown Submarine tour.

This 7" is very special to me because the b-sides rock so fucking hard. Each one a different sound and side of the band, these songs really show how the Ships are a versatile rock machine. 'Dementia Is Rising' gets your head banging right from the start, when it's just an acoustic guitar and Bob's pissed off delivery. 'Take That Off (And Put This On)' let's you know that whatever else you are listening to is crap, and my favorite of the bunch, '7 Is The Hot Noose' has my favorite Bob lyrics in a while.
