   This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #SciFiSongs

   I was going to say that I'm not usually super into sci-fi themed bands, but that is 100% a lie.

   Friends, this is Hawkwind.

   Hawkwind - Spirit of the Age (1979 Live version)

   Lyrics: https://genius.com/Hawkwind-spirit-of-the-age-lyrics

   A musical setting of a poem by troubled vocalist Robert Calvert, this dystopian affair was originally released in a more muted form on 1977's Quark, Strangeness and Charm, but I vastly prefer the vocal performance on this astonishing live version, here from an anthology re-release, found on the Live 1979 album. It's heavy, intense, bleak, and Tim Blake's electronics are god-tier.
