From ANDRAS JONES: JOE KENNEDY is one of ZAK SCHAFFER‘s monster musical cat friends and he joins our Pop Oracle session to ask a question about how becoming a father is going to affect his musical activities. Aside from Zak’s randomly chosen answer I think today’s Pop Oracle song of the day from the Radio8Ball app is informative. From Seattle’s kings of kid’s music, RECESS MONKEY, it suggests to me that their is playfulness to be explored.
POP ORACLE Song of The Day (July 21, 2019): RECESS MONKEY “Aquarium”
Magpie
From a factory under cloudy skies
To a seven bedroom penthouse at the top of a highrise
A sermon on the floor of a disco
Everyone will know
When you’re seventeen, you can see the stars
There’s a dream you want to dream on the screen with a man from Mars
Hammered to the mic, you’re the new queen
Everyone will know
Oh, Magpie
In the back you wait
WIth a cigarette and an unlucky date
Oh, Magpie
It’s the cross you bear
And you’ve changed the world, ‘cause of what you wear
Oh, Magpie
Now you disappear, heal and maybe mend
There’s a chair to make you fair, someone there to make you feel again
Walking on the hands of the faithful
Everyone will know
In the frigid air, you escape the scene
There’s a photo of a doppelganger girl inside a magazine
The masses rise again when you beckon
Everyone will know
Oh, Magpie
It’s a confidence game they’ve got you in just to see you dance
Oh, Magpie
In a stolen car with your golden hair in between the bars
Oh Magpie
Just a casualty, an experiment
Children crowd around to ask you how can they fight the establishment
Or start another war with their family
So everyone will know
Oh Magpie
In a shotgun shack with your TV shows and a broken back
Oh Magpie
Tell me how you feel, say it one more time, tell me love is real
Oh, Magpie
Start your sharp descent, I can see you now, this is permanent
Oh Magpie
