Book of the Day

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

(Apparently Ebb didn’t get the message about Harry Potter…)

Today at Black Diamond Antiques at the Schuylkill Mall in Frackville, PA, I was looking through some books at one of the booths – a lot of science fiction (I was hoping maybe I’d find “The Space Barbarians” by Tom Godwin, but no such luck), and a lot of TV show tie-in books. And of course a lot of overlap between the two – mostly Star Trek, of course, but there were also a few (original) Battlestar Galactica books, and surprisingly, a lot of Space: 1999 books!

I wound up buying “The Space Guardians” (seen above with Ebb). One reason I picked that one was the fact that one of the episodes novelized in it is “Force of Life,” which is one of my favorites from the first season. And it was also the cheapest one they had. :)

The things you find on your hard drive…

Thursday, April 6th, 2006

I was going through some of the files in the Station V3 folder on my hard drive, and found a photo of Ebb with the Space: 1999 soundtrack album. I remember mentioning finding the album (apparently in August 2004), but I don’t think I ever put the picture up anywhere!

It’s a little late, but here it is now:

(And it’s a great album, in case anyone was wondering! The music was one of the best things about the show.)

Music to Breakaway by

Monday, August 30th, 2004

I had a nice surprise when looking through a box of records at a flea market yesterday… I found a Space: 1999 soundtrack album, with the first season theme and music from some of the first season episodes. There’s a lot that can be (and has been) said about a show where a nuclear waste explosion throws the Moon out of orbit, and clear out of the solar system so it encounters a new system and possibly inhabitable planet (though of course they can’t move there) nearly every week… but the music is good! (And I like the show, even though – or maybe because – a lot of the episodes don’t make a whole lot of sense.)

On a Station V3-related note, the voting incentives up today at buzzComix and TopWebcomics are early sketches of a character that may be appearing in the comic in the near future!
