I'm gonna be tangent man for a second because I had a brainwave about what pocket is ... I get this visual of billiards where you might say something like, "8-ball, corner pocket," and when the ball drops in, it's stopped by this leather mesh. Okay, so the table top is the time grid and the pocket sits just underneath. It has some elasticity and its depth varies from table to table."In The Pocket" = staying in time...
Another similar visual would be a basketball hoop. If you get nothing but net, you get a swish sound before the ball drops from the bottom of the net. If you imagine the rim as the time grid and stitch up the hole creating a pocket, now you get that millisecond swish of time between the grid and yer fat backbeat dropping into the sweet spot.
Anyhoo, thought I'd toss that out there since we wrestle this one from time to time like a pack of apes trying to mate with a greasy football, and as much as I like Stewart Copeland, his on top of the beatness will never make me think "pocket player."
