The drummer (Jeff) is pretend-playing the drums with real spoons, not as an act of defiance, but because he forgot his sticks.

Jefferson Prinsloo III right? I went to see the first screening of the Fugazi film with Jem Cohen answering questions at the invite of Jeff, who wore a large wig throughout, meaning anyone sitting behind him couldn't see.

Doh!

I don't have any links to these but if you look at the clips of Flipper and the Stooges at ATP 2006 you can see a tall skinhead front row centre in some of them. That's me! WooooOO!!!

My band mangling "I Can't Escape Myself"

I am the douche on the right.

Feeling pretty clever right about now.

That's how I found my set of Radio Kings- saw them on the top shelf of a display at Highlands Music in Cleveland, Ohio.

Asked if the guy would take them down for me and he said "Drum guy's out sick today. Come back tomorrow."

And I said "I'm going to Youngstown in three hours and won't be back. Let me have a look at 'em."

Complete kit, with the snare. I talked him down from $250 to $200 because, y'know, the drums were "real old."

I have never been back to Cleveland, because I suspect that there's a drum guy who was hiding those until he had some cash, and he wants my head on a spear.

Radio Kings are excellent, Grant Hart used to have several sets of them, maybe still does.

Talked him down. Well done. You'll burn in hell.

I got a 1959 Gretch Double anniversary in springfield Ohio about 11 years ago in kinda the same way. $550 out the door talked down from $650.

Ohio's where to go for crazy deals obviously.

Is that what you're playing in the video? I remember that I actually for some reason saw that when it was first broadcast, and I was admiring your guitar and those drums. Except for the uh.. singer.. it was pretty nice.

Was watching this the other day and saw myself....erm...headbanging:

Scotch eggs, people!

So uncanny to suddenly see yourself unexpectedly.

i assume you want clips not of me performing but ones where i just happened to be in the clip. so, here i am in the white long sleeve shirt next to the stage.
