On Monday I went down to The Waiting Room at The Tramshed with Plus One Loo to see the unveiling of Swci Delic's whacking great installation for the cafe/bar...
It was a nice evening, an inspiring evening, and I just love this painting. It's vibrant, kinetic and it's got my old manor slap bang in the middle of it.
I hope to admire it again soon as there's a couple of decent looking gigs coming up at The Tramshed in the next month or so including, The Jesus & Mary Chain on Friday 2nd September and a Hacienda night featuring Marshall Jefferson next Friday.
Anyhow, on the way back home and after a few pints of Bad Apple (and a Swci Delicious cocktail), I tried to hum Me, Myself & I by De La Soul, as I saw a poster for their show in Newport a few weeks ago. Yet the cider kicked in and it turned into 20 minutes of an increasingly passionate version of Popcorn by Hot Butter.

There's a rather quaint old website that lists the hundreds of versions of Popcorn, some with equally quaint assessments of the merits of consequent covers.
FYI Hot Butter's Popcorn was the biggest selling single in France in 1972. More alarmingly the Crazy Frog version was the sixth biggest selling single in the country in 2005. Mange tout.
So yeah, Swci Delic good, shouty versions of Popcorn less so.
