Happy Birthday, London Calling!
30 years ago on this day the third album by The Clash, London Calling, was released. It is still considered to be one of the best albums ever recorded and features an astonishing amount of marvelous tracks. One of our favorites is Guns of Brixton which in the above recording has a nice dubbed out feeling to it due to the bad quality of the recording equipment.

Eastern dances
Die Wende war eines der ersten Projekte von La Conca. Unser Bestreben war es, die florierende Discoszene im Osten, wie sie der oben verlinkte Beitrag zeigt, mit der westdeutschen zu vereinen.

Put that back in!
A few weeks ago some Japanese dudes visited the Colony and bought all our old control-panels. Today we know what they did it for: They built business-card cases out of them, which you can purchase here for roughly 30€.

Mysterious Order
A few weeks ago the beneficial spirit of our humble space colony reached out to Japan. It seems as if the people still living on earth slowly change.

Happy Birthday Mix-Up!
30 years ago on this day the debut album of Cabaret Voltaire, Mix-Up, was released. It features one of the colony’s most beloved Cabs tracks, the dark love song No Escape. The original version of No Escape was recorded by the psychedelic garage rock band The Seeds for their self titled debut album. Happy Birthday!

Zero gravity = zero accident
Man mag vermuten, dass die La Conca Weltraumkolonie vornehmlich zur Erforschung alternativer Lebensmodelle gegründet worden ist. Dies ist allerdings ein Trugschluss, denn tatsächlich bevorzugen wir das Leben in der Schwerelosigkeit hauptsächlich weil uns weniger Sachen auf den Kopf fallen können.

Do you believe in time travel?
You might have asked yourself what the La Conca representatives are doing besides criticizing Stuttgarts belated efforts in space advocacy. Well, we’re making some time travels to the late 1970s and early 1980s to savour some exceptionally great music. In order to blend in with the crowd each of us bought himself one of those bags above. Come and join us!

I think I got to sneeze
Well, well. All that improved thermal insulation and warm atmosphere in the colony does not prevent its representatives from catching a severe cold. But we're a competent team that can keep the quality of its work high, no matter how many of us are sick. Anything else would be unprofessional!

A glittering beam splitting the clouds
Living in space is a lot of fun, especially because of the great music everywhere in the colony. But as you can see in the transmission above we also have to struggle. But we struggle in style.

It can only be attributable to human error
We had one of these humble robots that clean the floor at the colony. But after he killed some of the crew-members we decided to throw him out. If you are OK with the killing, get one of these here.

We made it!
Space is an often overused metaphor. But this is not a spoof. Get some facts - we made it. We are the La Conca Space Colony, the first self-sustaining space colony of this placid city. Discolate yourself into this orbit, Stuttgart!
