@ 7:30 go to your computer and watch this...

tht can be the Supper Show for this week



it's our man Dave Hind with one of his percussive contraptions.

I remember the old days when i started playing music... Dave had a studio outside of london, i think it was an old gas station and we would go out there for Jams... It was usually cold as hell but there was a heater and lots of things to make rhythm on. And there would always be a very long version of the song "Wicked Style". A song where the pocket has been lost it was this hypnotic rhythm on a finger hammering d chord except the d was played 1 fret up... and then it resolved to an e major. I have the feeling it might have been one of those ideas that was never really that good in the first place... great for rhythm grooves and easy to solo over. It was one we always hit at those jams... i remember one time there was this weird bearded guy who was always on acid and we hit that song and he was dancing away in a trance and when it was over he said "that was wicked man, you guys should be playing the Embassy"... the Embassy of course was the shithole dive bar/ hotel/ music venue at the time. Now that i think about it i don't think it was the embassy... it's hard to remember anything anymore... I think the embassy is the actual good venue...

The place the bearded guy on acid said we should have been playing would have been about the same as where we were playing except we wouldn't be able to drink our own spirits rather pay for them at a bar... there of course would have been other side affects as well... = more acid eating beard men.
