Timmy is having a party. Everyone is in the garden.
The space spies hide in the bushes.
The superheroes hide in the bushes too.
“One, two, three,” counts Timmy.
“One, two,” and three superheroes, “One, two, three.”
“I’m a space spy.” says Alan. “I’m a space spy too,” says Paul. “And me!” says Nicky.
“Wow, space spies!” say all the children.
Alan, Paul & Nicky have name badges on their space suits like real astronauts. Timmy never knew their real names before. He thinks that Alan Harwood, Nicky Wojciechowski and Paul Bagley are funny names!
“The space spies win first prize for their costumes!” says The Judge.
It’s time to open the presents.
“Wow! There are lots of boxes.” Says Timmy
There was a toy mouse that sang hymns, coloured pencils that squeaked and a bright red jacket with tassels. Timmy loved tassels.
At last he came to the final gift, which was very big and felt squishy.
He read the tag on the present, it was from The Judge. His name was Phil Cook. Timmy never knew that.
He unwrapped it carefully. It was a huge furry eel that The Judge had bought from the antiques shop down the road. It’s previous owner had stuffed him into the washing machine one day by mistake and in the right light he looked a bit scary, even to Timmy. It smelled a bit funny too, and its eyes pointed the wrong way, but Timmy loved it.
"Can I keep him Mum? Can I? Can I? Can I? "I'm not sure Timmy," replied his Mum. "You already have a wooden hamster and three pink fish"
The Judge looked sternly at Timmy’s Mum, and she forgot what she was saying. “Time for a game of hide and seek” she said.
The Judge took all the children in the house, and Timmy went and hid behind the shed. All his friends stayed in the house with The Judge watching strange films, and poor Timmy fell asleep waiting to be found. It turned out to be a very long game.
When Timmy woke up he was very hungry. Time for party food!
Everyone ate crisps, jelly, icecream and cherries.

Lyrics & vocal in part 1 by David Thrussell
Psychedelic, punk, prog & pop in roughly equal measures, and taking in many other influences en route, 7shades might appeal to anyone with a love for unusual music played with conviction by people who really should know better!
Most recent album from criminally ignored pop geniuses, you could equally check any of their other myriad of releases. I don't think I've ever heard a Misty's song I didn't like :-) 7shades
A recent discovery, but made my jaw drop - serious choral harmonies set against heavy Crimson-esque backing. Sounds like nothing else I've ever heard! 7shades
supported by 23 fans who also own “Jelly and ice cream”
Soaring theatrical catchy rock and pop tunes that are not boring and segue and evolve linearly from one to the next. If they sound this big with DIY production, imagine how insanely huge they’d sound with big time production. Sound in the neighborhoods of Bowie, Floyd, and Cardiacs. This whole record moves me and I can’t pick a favorite song. marc_ian
Seattle band somesurprises return with lofty, pretty dream pop that recalls the dissonant beauty of Broadcast, Grouper, and MBV. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2024
