Just for the awesomeness



Behold the Spotnicks, a Swedish instrumental group who, during their early 60s heyday, performed dressed in awesome looking spacesuits. I've found that not only do I enjoy these clips for the visual joy they provide, but also that I really dig the group's music, which sounds like it emanates from some spectral meeting point between Les Paul and Joe Meek.

I also think that this hypnotic clip for their "Spotnicks Theme" is sheer brilliance:



And guess what? They're still together! No sign of the spacesuits though.

    They deserve mad props for still being together! Perhaps the spacesuits helped?

    Perhaps. But why aren't they still wearing them? Maybe they're made of hardier stuff, but I think for my part I'd want to wear a spacesuit when I reach that age. For one thing, I think it would be an efficient way of dealing with the incontinence issues.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not sell, trade, upload or otherwise provide copies of the films that I review on this site, so please don’t ask.

Please, no questions about where to download films or subtitle files. If you are asking about the availability of a reviewed film on DVD, please make sure that you have first conducted a simple search of the film’s title on Google, eBay, and Amazon. That usually works for me.

Everyone else, BRING IT ON!
