![]() Ash came, and his Pikachu used Iron Tail to knock off a Corsola horn, which was stuck to Mudsdale's hoof. As she went away with Mudsdale, the latter stepped in something and became aggravated. She became sad, as she received no answer. At the Ruins of Hope, Hapu called upon Tapu Fini to contact her grandfather, and wanted to ask of him why didn't Tapu Fini recognize her as the next Island Kahuna. Ash wanted a rematch, but Hapu flew on Golurk, since that battle had nothing to do with this incident. With the Oricorio released, Hapu apologized for mistaking Ash to be a thief. Hapu demanded them to leave, and with Plumeria's appearance, the grunts left. Hapu, who saw the desecrated radishes as well as the Oricorio's inside Team Skull's bag, became grim, and sent Mudsdale, who easily defeated Team Skull's Pokémon. Ash pointed out the grunts were the ones that stole her radishes, and used them to snatch Oricorio. She found Ash fighting Team Skull grunts, and glared the former. After tending her garden, she noticed how quiet it was, and went scouting on Golurk. Hapu exclaimed this was what happened to thieves, and asked of them never to return. Hapu noted he was at a disadvantage, and despite Pikachu attacking Golurk's knee to force it to kneel down, he was defeated by a High Horsepower attack. Ash explained he was not a thief, but Hapu didn't want to hear it, and used Golurk to battle his Pikachu. When Ash entered her crops, he was blown away by her Golurk Hapu assumed he and his friends were thieves that wanted to steal her crops. Noticing some dancing Oricorio, she shared some radishes with them, satisfying the Pokémon. Later, Hapu was working on her Poni Radish crops, and was helped by her Golurk. Hapu noticed her Poni radishes were stolen, and became even more suspicious of strangers. Hapu shares some of her radishes with Oricorio. However, she could only fight grown-ups on Poni Island, and while she succeeded in defeating them, she didn't get any opportunities to battle someone her own age. Hapu trained with her grandfather, an Island Kahuna, and inherited a lot of his skills. Also, Hapu became more open and became very good friends with her fellow Island Kahuna's. Due to not many children of her age on the island, Hapu is more of a loner, who respects traditional values, passed down from her grandfather.Īfter Ash and his friends spent some time with her, Hapu noted there were different people with different battle strategies, which changed her mind to even protect them, even to fight Tapu Fini for their lives. ![]() Even after discovering her misjudgment, she still refused to listen to his request. She is quite prone to jumping to conclusions as she mistaken Ash as the thief and was unwilling to listen to his story. Hapu is seen to be a hard worker in her radish fields along with her friends Mudsdale and Golurk. She also carries around a small purple pouch that she secures with her belt. For accessories, she wears a large purple bonnet that's tied around her chin, a skinny black belt that only goes through one loop, and purplish-gray gloves. Her outfit consists of a short-sleeved khaki shirt, matching khaki pants that are very baggy and have purple designs on the knees, and black rubber boots. Clothing-wise, Hapu wears tough clothes that are suitable for working and add to her already dwarf-esque appearance. Her black hair is very long and comes down in two huge braids additionally, she also has thick, bushy eyebrows. Hapu is a very short and skinny girl with tan skin, gray eyes, and slightly rosy cheeks.

Putting the capo on the first fret raises the pitch by one half step, putting it on the second fret raises the pitch by two half steps, and so on. You'll be playing different chords than what is listed on your lead sheet / chord sheet (and may want to write them in).315 Shares Ukulele Capo Basics What is a ukulele capo?Ī ukulele capo is a small device that attaches to a ukulele’s neck and clamps down on all four strings at once.Īpplying a capo raises the pitch of a ukulele by effectively moving the nut further up the neck and shortening the portion of the strings that vibrate (scale length). However many number of frets a guitarist moves up, you move up semi-tones on the piano. If you're playing with a guitarist using a capo, you'll need to transpose your music. Pro tip: remember to put it back down again after! In Summary: Capo 3 means you'd transpose your keyboard up 3 (for 3 semi-tones). ![]() If you're playing a keyboard that has a transpose button, you can use this instead of transposing the chords you're playing.Īll you need to do is press the transpose up button as many times as the capo says. It is possible to find songs online in all sorts of keys, so that can be worth a search. ![]() Otherwise, you'll just need to re-do your chord sheet so that everything (all your chords) is listed in a different key. This works well if you remember to play the chords in this colour. I write the chords in on the same page but in a different colour. One of the main things I do when I need to match what a guitarist is playing but have chords written in a different key is this. My Top Tip for Playing A Chord Sheet in a Different Key ![]() (C - C# - D - we've moved up 2 semi-tones from C.)Īll the chords you're playing will need to move up 2 semi-tones and you'll need to play all your chords this way. The song you're now playing is not going to have C chords but D chords. The 2 means you need to move up 2 semi-tones on the piano and play chords starting there instead of the chord listed.įor example, if your first chord for a song is C and someone you're playing with is going to use "capo 2", this means you need to transpose your music up 2 semi-tones. If you see a note that says something like, "capo = 2" or " capo 2", the 2 or the number you'll find is referring to frets or semi-tones. A fret corresponds to one semi-tone on the piano. If you are ever playing piano for church and playing with a guitarist, you'll definitely run into this! What A Capo Does (and what this means for piano chords)Ī capo changes the key that a song is played in.įor a guitarist, they can play a C chord shape but actually be playing a different chord by using the capo - like a D or Eb chord.Ī capo is placed on a fret. They will be playing in a different key than you'll have in front of you. If you will be playing with someone else who will be using a capo, you will need to change what you're playing to match them. This note doesn't apply to you but to guitarists. If you find a chord sheet that says to play with a capo but you are playing the piano and playing by yourself, you don't actually need to do anything. Not much if you're not playing music with a guitarist.īut if you are playing with a guitarist, this will change things for you. The main reason guitarists I know use a capo is to play chords that they are more familiar with or ones that are just plain easier to play. The purpose of it is to easily change the key of the music a guitarist is playing. A capo is a little metal gadget that you can hook onto a guitar. ![]() ![]() It’s a surprisingly simple yet ingenious idea: A little bit of sugar helps the metal go down. In the early ’90s, as hard rock turned to grunge and grittier metal bands like Pantera, Def Leppard held onto their universal pop appeal, and it has served them well across decades of tours, studio albums, and live recordings. Step inside, walk this way You and me babe, hey hey Love is like a bomb, baby, cmon get it on Livin like a. It was 1987’s Lange-produced Hysteria, featuring sleekly melodic mega-hits “Animal” and “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” that confirmed Def Leppard’s status as the kings of pop-metal. In the Style of Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar on Me Love is like a bomb, baby, cmon get it on Livin like a lover with a radar phone Lookin like a tramp. Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me Lyrics. The five members leaned into that strategy for 1983’s Pyromania, using producer Mutt Lange’s multi-track wizardry-gated drums, a hint of synth, and soaring vocal harmonies-to temper the guitars’ bite and Elliott’s shredded yell. Guitarist Phil Collen would replace founding member Pete Willis after two albums and Vivian Campbell would step in to round out the group’s twin-axe attack after Steve Clark’s untimely death in 1991.ĭef Leppard made noise with its raucous 1980 debut, On Through the Night, but 1981’s High ‘N’ Dry proved that the band could write not just riffs but also hooks. Def Leppard formed in 1977 and soon settled on a core lineup of singer Joe Elliott, bassist Rick Savage, and drummer Rick Allen-just 15 when he joined. That audacious gambit sweetened a sound forged in the UK’s industrial heartlands and proved that power and pop were not mutually exclusive, paving the way for bands like Bon Jovi. The player’s goal is crystal clear, they must unlock the ‘sugar’ which is hidden behind the grid. However, when producer Mutt Lange remixed it for pop stations, 70 of them picked the song up and “it exploded” across the nation, rocketing to #2 on the pop chart and finally driving the eleven-month-old Hysteria to the top of the albums chart in July of 1988.In the early ’80s, as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was still ringing in headbangers’ ears, Sheffield, England’s Def Leppard bucked the trend by drizzling honey over hard rock. Its worth noting the innovative visual sync with the Pour Some Sugar on Me feature. At first it was “a complete failure” with rock stations, and the song “was close to being shelved”. In the US, it was Hysteria’s fourth single – released a full seven months after the album had come out. It had similar success in Australia and New Zealand. Released as the second UK single for the album, it reached a very respectable #18 there. Pour some sugar on me Ooh, in the name of love Pour some sugar on me C'mon fire me up Pour your sugar on me Oh I can't get enough I'm hot, sticky, sweet From my head to my feet, yeah You got peaches, I got the cream Sweet to taste, saccharine Cause I'm hot, say what, sticky sweet From my head, my head, to my feet Do you take sugar One lump or. Elliot explained in 2000:Īll of the sudden, rock and rap did mix, so we wrote our own.īecause Hysteria was already so far behind schedule and cost so much at that point, the record company originally did not want the band to spend more time and money finishing it to include it on the record, but Lange convinced them to allow it. Elliot believes that the first record he ever bought, "Sugar Sugar” by The Archies, was probably his subliminal inspiration for this track, as that song contains the very similar lyric “pour a little sugar on it, baby”.Įlliot was also inspired by the recent success of Run DMC’s groundbreaking collaboration with Aerosmith on “Walk This Way”. The first is that Joe Elliot asked Mutt Lange if he wanted one lump or two in his tea, to which Lange responded, “I don’t care, just pour some sugar on me.” The other is producer Mutt Lange overheard Elliot “playing around on the acoustic guitar singing ‘pour some sugar on me'”, and he insisted the song be fleshed out. There are two stories as to how the lyric came about. ![]() ![]() “Pour Some Sugar On Me” was thrown together in the last ten days of recording sessions for Hysteria. ![]() Virginia MOCA is located in, and a proud member of Virginia Beach's ViBe Creative District. **Last admission is 45 minutes before close.

In conclusion: X-Dream is not afraid to take some risks with there work. I think they missed the ball a little bit with that one. I’d like to say one thing about the “Fluke remix” I think it’s a nice, original track with the Ragga feel and all but it sounds like a remix from a different track. On the other hand “We Interface” sounds overwhelming on a big system so play it loud! It sounds different then ‘usual’ and I’m nut sure yet if that’s a good thing or not. For some smaller systems the overall sound is somewhat difficult to handle. One thing about the album I’m still not sure about is the mastering. I’ve seen the title track “We Interface” do wonders on the dance floor several times all ready, I very strongly believe that’s partially because of the vocals. The “cyberspace-quantum-Xray-science fiction” subject might not appeal to everyone but I think the vocals ad value to the tracks and (for me) they are very well produced. Ok, some of the more minimalistic tracks are not really my taste but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t very good tracks, produced with an eye for detail and originality. I’ve been listening and analyzing there album for some time now and I think it’s simply genius. For me it was the best Psy-live-act I’ve ever seen and heard.Īs for the album ok, they took some risks, but hey, I’m not the one to hold that against them. I think I would have found it (only) very funny if the sound that came out of the speakers at that time wasn’t that f*ng genius. Having a long legged blonde girl in a latex suit crawl over the stage on a Psy-Festival seems to be difficult to swallow for some people. I saw (heard) X-Dreams live act on Transit this summer and I realized that they would stir up a discussion within the scène with there act. ![]() It's crystal clear to me that they failed big time with this new release. But in my opinion they overdid it and now stand out as a band that maybe should take a break and seek other inspiration instead of trying to create something "spetacular". And something to say! This latest CD is an atempt to be "different". I deffinently prefer X-dream's earlier work where it's obvious they still had something unique over them. If deep basses, a few scratchy sounds and a few breakbeats combined with computervoices partly taken from a Macintosh computer (voices that's been used on Mac's since Mac OS version 8.5) makes X-Dream groundbreaking then I am sorry to say our scene, or should I say the people involved in the scene?, indeed lack a basic understanding of the term groundbreaking! The music is not at all "fresh"in my opinion but borrowed from various sources of original and truely groundbreaking music dating back to the early 80's and forward! The effects and sounds have been used many many times before. Yes the production is clear and very polished but in my opinion not that amazing. I have now listened to the Cd a few times and I have a very hard time understanding how people would ever consider this groundbreaking. ![]() If you liked Irritant or have seen them live lately and liked it you will most certainly like this kick-ass album. This is a typical play-as-loud-as-you-can-album Their new member, you know the girl who sings sometimes, is contributing with some nice elements to some of their tracks. This album will probably work 10 times better on the dancefloor then in your home. But that is all we need because these tracks is exploding with power. The tracks arent long, around 5-6 minutes. It's some kind of mix between psy/techno/electro/whatever. It's almost closer to electronica/techno then it is to psytrance. So what have happend since Irritant? They have kept Irritants basic formula with a kinda minimal dark sound. X-Dream is back after two years of silence. ![]() Often, a fedora or an ushanka (during colder weather) was also worn. Humphrey Bogart's Rick Blaine from Casablanca and Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau wore the trench coat in the public eye. Their original role as part of an army officer's uniform lent the trench coat a businesslike respectability, although many prefer to tie the belt in front (rather than use the buckle) to project a more casual look than strict military dress. Trench coats have remained fashionable in the decades following World War II. Many veterans returning to civilian life kept the coats, which became fashionable for both men and women. ![]() What became known as the "trench coat" combined the features of a military waterproof cape and the regulation greatcoat designed for British officers. Many trench coats had large pockets for maps, and cleverly placed flaps and vents to deal with the odour associated with earlier rubber coats.Ī range of waterproof coats was designed and sold during wartime that incorporated War Office requirements with traditional aspects of leisurewear. This latter design was dubbed "trench coat" by the soldiers in the front line. The shoulder straps were for the attachment of epaulettes or other rank insignia the D-ring was originally used for attaching map cases, swords, or other equipment to the belt, and there is a popular myth that it was for the attachment of hand grenades. Another optional item was the British Warm, a wool coat similar to the greatcoat that was shorter in length, also worn by British officers and Warrant Officers Class I as an optional piece.ĭuring the First World War, the design of the trench coat was modified to include shoulder straps and D-rings. No other ranks were permitted to wear them. The trench coat became an optional item of dress in the British Army, and was obtained by private purchase by officers and Warrant Officers Class I who were under no obligation to own them. Thomas Burberry invented gabardine fabric in 1879 and submitted a design for an Army officer's raincoat to the United Kingdom War Office in 1901. Invention of the trench coat is claimed by two British luxury clothing manufacturers, Burberry and Aquascutum, with Aquascutum's claim dating back to the 1850s. The trench coat was developed as an alternative to the heavy serge greatcoats worn by British and French soldiers in the First World War. Popularised by film stars such as Humphrey Bogart, and Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther movies, the trench coat has become a fashion staple, available in many colours, through brands such as Burberry.īritish Army officer in the First World War. Makers in recent years have resized trench coats downwards to conform more closely to overcoat sizing, as two coats would rarely be worn together today. ![]() ![]() Period advertisements from World War I reveal that the trench coat was sized to wear over the British Warm, to offer water protection when the temperature was cold enough to require the heavier coat, which explains the traditionally generous sizing of trench coats. Although many come with removable wool liners for additional warmth, they are usually not as warm as an overcoat. The trench coat was typically worn as a windbreaker or as a rain jacket, and not for sole protection from the cold in winter. The coat often has shoulder straps that button-close, which were functional in a military context. The coat is belted at the waist with a self-belt, with raglan sleeves ending in cuff straps around the wrists that also buckle, to keep water from running down the forearm when using binoculars in the rain. Traditionally trench coats are double-breasted with 10 front buttons, wide lapels, a storm flap, and pockets that button-close. Originally made from gabardine, a worsted wool fabric waterproofed using lanolin before weaving, the traditional colour of a trench coat was khaki.
