Spacemen Blog

I’ll mostly use this as a place to post site updates, but there may be some other thoughts from time to time.

  • Updated Article – Cut, October 1987
    A short interview from Cut, October 1987. This was already on the site, but thanks to the kind folks at the Cut Magazine Facebook group, I now know which issue it was in, have a better image, and a copy of the cover.
  • New article – Loops 1, July 2009
    A remarkable essay by the author Richard Milward, published in the first issue of Loops, a joint venture between Domino Records and the publishers Faber.
  • New Article – Louder Than War 14, February 2018
    A career overview from issue 14 of the music magazine Louder Than War, edited by John Robb.
  • New book extract – Contemporary Musicians 31,2001
    A chapter from issue 31 of the U.S. book series Contemporary Musicians from Gale Group Inc. Mostly accurate, it seems to have sourced most of the info from the lengthy article in Magnet 26.
  • New Article – Shoegaze Ultimate Genre Guide, September 2021
    A nice Spacemen 3 career overview from the Shoegaze edition of Uncut magazine’s Ultimate Genre Guides. As the title of the magazine suggests, the band are viewed in the context of their influence on shoegaze while never claiming they were exactly part of it. Shame about the incorrect caption that goes with the photo on the last page, but I expect there’s an error in Uncut’s photo library, they recently used the same photo with the same billing in another rather good Spacemen 3 article.
