"Matinee" outtakes #3: Of Course If I Were Ever To Cover A Song It Would Be McCartney.


And it would have to be off band on the run. And it would have to be one of those lost gems that people hear and it all comes flooding back. And I'd want to do it with a Pet Sounds-era Wrecking Crew intro and lots of swirling organ and I'd make it a bossa nova with a piano solo. And plenty of bitchin' harmonies. The ultimate Arch Marble rainy day project.

This was tracked in '03 as part of a demo for small trio gigs.

Might as well acknowledge where I steal it all from anyway.

The Guy's Like The Jim Morrison Of Assholes!


Oh, wait. Jim Morrison is already th' Jim Morrison of Assholes.

Cheney! Sweet fucking Christ! What's next with this guy! Don't tell me- he stabs Lynn to death in th' Chelsea Hotel! No-no-he...he fucking...he drives a Cadillac into Bill Frist's swimming pool! Yes!

And then Dribbleya...um, he moves into that fucking place in LA where Belushi ate shit and gorges himself on brown heroin and underage Thai hookers of all genders. And that fucking pimple Mclellan starts torching the podium at press briefings. And what's with Laura and that everpresent 2/3 empty bottle o' Southern Comfort?

Actually, I take it back.

These guys are getting cooler all the time.

All I Want To Know Is

If I win th' Koufaxy do I get it smoked?

And on top of it all, a new song! Called "New Song"


Man, am I glad to have THIS albatross off'n my god damn neck! Been trying to get this fucker done for two months!

It's psychedelic! It's Byzantine! It's...it's...a modern electron romance!

"New Song"

I swear she reaches me
On some internal frequency
And modulated speaks to me of love...

And when I'm all alone
The static on the telephone
The headlights and the rain
Become enough...

How do you write of things you cannot touch?
Cannot name?
How do you push the veil away?

Surrounded every day
By microchips and microwaves
She sweeps across the ether to my heart...

No science could unfold
The braided bond of soul-to-soul
Or treatise hide the secret of her art...

I think it's time to sing a new song...
New song...
How do you do, my nightingale?


Woah!! I'm getting trails!!

I Have It On Excellent Authority

















That Cheney was just tired of the old tease rebuffing his advances.

The Dim View That I Take.


Look, let's face it- I'm a rock star. I look like a rock star, I act like a rock star. I smell like a rock star. I make love to the camera, you know? I fucking radiate, man. I might be sitting down to breakfast in a cigarette-burned beige kimono with eye snot- I'm still the guy. I make love to that breakfast. I just have that sort of matinee idol quality.

When I walk into a room is when th' party starts, you know? I make love to that room, man. If all eyes aren't on me, well, somebody just skipped their Ritalin, you know? It's exhausting sometimes. Really. The preposterous come-ons. The stammering. The obsequiousness.

And I gotta say, man- I gotta say; from up here where I sit, where I sit on Elvis' right side up here in Charisma Land, I gotta say it's a dim view I take. A dim fucking view indeed. It would be fair to say that the view I take is markedly dim. There is a dimness to the view I take. A pronounced degree of dimness. In the taken view that is mine.

If a graph could be charted, the X axis of which would be degree-of-rock-starness and the Y of which would be dimness of view taken, well, I would be the unforeseen variable that would skew the results significantly by achieving the highest degree in each.

And it is this dim view that contributes to a grim, serious caste to my telegenic personality. It accounts for an artistic tension, a frisson of alienation that makes love to an audience whilst simultaneously challenging it, taunting it.

All of which brings us to this: the dim view that I take.

Let's all see if we can just try to fucking pull it together a little, O.K.? It's a new week. Let's just all take a deep breath and see if we can do that.
