i’m in!

Posted on December 17, 2004 by mark

despite Mr_Hopkinson’s efforts to the contrary (supplying me with false passwords etc. etc.) I’m finally in! great…
you all missed a stormer of an event last night – Tatsuya Nakatani, a Japanese percussionist resident in New York visited the Cube. He had a suitcase full of metallic gords and weird sticks that looked like instruments of torture – I’ve never seen such a theatrical drumming performance. He did an incredibly intense solo performance as well as collaborations with Tom Bugs, Jesse Morningstar (sounded like a wild west soundtrack) and crazy Revolutionary Knitting Circle Rob.
a real pity there were only about ten paying punters, but sometimes these are the best nights of the lot! (fortunately hogge has documented it)

ginseng returns ( x2 )

Posted on December 16, 2004 by site admin mr_hopkinson

No longer will I have no idea what to ask for as I approach The Cube Bar

label of love

An internal missive suggests we actually have an unnecessary abundance . . .

“after not having ginseng for few months, we now have
30 boxes! Meantime Brewery sent us too many, we ordered 15!”

Better more than less, I say.

Posted on December 12, 2004 by site admin mr_hopkinson

It was The Here shop craft fair yesterday.

Later at The Cube, Bin Ray had some Eraserhead-u-like cornstarch weirdness going on

bin ray done that

Later than that Leafcutter John to his (faux?) annoyance got an on stage music theory lesson from Joe Grounds

e minor whatnow?

Finally I took a break from the Hexstatic corn street show for some bad chips with Rod, looking like he’d just got back from some kind of expedition.

Things I saw!

Thanks to Joseph Howard Grounds for pointing this out to me . . .

big thanks to Rob Da Bank, on John Peel’s show and The Blue Room, My Computer has been singing Pixies out of the wireless! Smashing.

My Computer will also be singing on stage at The Cube on the 23rd of December.

Rob Da Bank also mentions the Bucky gig at the Here shop ( where that cd can be acquired, or via me ( ahem ) )

Went to get a replacement lens, but then found the original one hidden away in a fold of the blackout material on the stage on the way back.

Anyway bumped into Tom from babyhead – he *has* shaved his head, well part of it . . .

old man cub

Meanwhile another Tom’s , Tom Pause2‘s blog seems to have disappeared . . . what’s that all about?
