Updates have returned! And in fine fashion my friend...

So what better way to start than....

• Hawkwind former member Nik Turner has registered the name of "Nik Turner's Hawkwind" just prior to Hawkwind's upcoming US tour. Though legal action is yet to be filed you know what is going to happen next. I am not sure if there are enough Hawkwind fans to go around for them to have two versions. Maybe they should just name their bands Stormbringer and Mournblade......
• In news that is a wee bit older Cheap Trick have countersued Bun E. Carlos.
• There are several "supergroups" formed recently - one featuring members of Pantera, Anthrax, Soulfly & Accept and the other featuring members of Korn, King's X, & Dokken.
• Last Friday sound guru Ray Dolby passed on. Quite a few musical innovations from this individual...
• Today is the 43rd anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death  The final full interview prior to his death will be broadcast tonight on TeamRock digital radio supposedly the first time the full interview has been broadcast - but don't quote me on that.
