A couple of things occurred to me the other day whilst listening to The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy complilation 'Draining the glass'...
1) The title refers to the fact that the compilation covers the JBC output on Glass Records... This probably seems obvious but I thought the title was just a reference to the band's legendary alcoholic intake...
2) Max Eider was the biggest influence on my guitar style. For years I was under some misguided illusion that I played like Johnny Marr (I thought that if you had a Rickenbacker guitar, it meant that you were...) but I was mistaken. I have certainly butchered many of Eider's jazzy licks on Hunky Dory songs...
