SocietyFringePodcast's podcast

Through this podcast SFP is creating an extended universe through the use of guitar based pop songs. The tale is both episodic and serial. As of the COVID lock down the SFPeeniverse consisted of 7 Broadway style musicals. This is ambitious stuff. The conceit is that an '84 Chevy El Camino acts as a TARDIS catalyst connecting the characters to unlimited story telling opportunities.

This was one of the first songs I had to go back and change the lyrics because I got the geography fucked up! I was mimicking "Answering Machine" by the Replacements off of LET IT BE. I played this live until Ochster solidified himself as the SFP drummer. I was also trying to tell a sorrowful tale along the lines of another Replacements song, "Little Mascara" off of TIM. The open B minor would hurt my lil fingies when I played this acoustically.

This was recorded during the same session as "Agenda." I was very proud of this. Honestly? Joe Gallagher is the only other guitar player I'll play chords behind. I was glad to hear him rock out here. I remember when we released this as a 45 we got feedback that Staten Island's college station played it muchly. This is me realizing that youthful rebellion turns into simply acting like an asshole at some point.

I wrote this between the Baltimore Colts and the Baltimore Ravens. It's my first, and almost only recorded, rapping. Even so, I write a lot of raps but they come out like singing. Everything always comes out a little differently (or even a lot!) than what is intended. This is the Dennis Barth Circle 9. Joey Joe Joe playing his old GEE-tar with the Egyptian symbols, and Pork on drums. This was the 9's first time in the studio. It was the first thing I recorded that turned up an a CD.

Jan 25, 2021

You never know quite what to do

You shut up when I'm in the room

You lead me around by the tongue

I see it all clear as the sun

You love me when I play guitar

Then throw me away in the yard

You lead me around like a dog

So lead me around like a dog

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do

All right yeah

You lead me around like a dog

So cook me some breakfast tonight

I'll hold you if you got to puke

I'll hold you 'til you feel alright

Puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke puke

Alright yeah

Jan 18, 2021

Lost on North Avenue my job took me there everyday

A different world a new country I found out today

It's like I'm a foreigner born in the u s of a

Tension so thick you can cut it I'm here anyway

Driving on back to my home where the radio's free

Crank up the Velvets and Ice Cube and vintage PE

Pop in the Replacements and drift to a van on the road

Every once in a while I just want to explode

The magic of music's a cascading ballet of junk

Stuck in the middle of metal and country and funk

Sometimes I feel lost when I'm writing I want to be Neil

Every musician I know they just want to be real

Yeah

All of these labels for music mean jack shit to me

Subconsciously divide and conquer the will to be free

I don't want no purists around me it's forrest or trees

Give me a forrest and watch me sink into the leaves

Sinkin deep

Yeah, sinkin deep

Ah-oo lord

Ah-oo lord

sinkin deep

Yeah sinkin

Sinkin deep

Here's some chips and dip

Have a nice party, son

I can see it clear as day

All smiling cakes and fun

Bring my chips and dip

To your party later on

I got some peanuts too

For your happy birthday song

Here's a dirty card

Don't show it to your mother

Here's a briefcase and a check

When's last you saw you brother?

Take my stuff on back inside

It's yours now take it light

Yeah and don't drink too much beer

When you're partying tonight 

No

I come from overseas

My dad and me no way

And I didn't see him die

My plane was late that day

My old house like a wall

I ain't ever left them doors

Look how they've wrecked my yard

I left my home

What for

So I got my kid chips and dip

He turned 25 today

I took him overseas

You should really see him play

My son looked kind of sad

When I said goodbye

But I taught my boy one thing

A real man never cries

(That's wrong)

Now I don't ever look back

When I drive my truck away

And I hardly see my kids

Except on Christmas Day

So I walk on up them steps

Take my shoes off and lie down

On my stinking single bed

On the lonely side of town.

When I look in your eyes

The clouds leave the skies

My pain starts to wane

So I'll say it again

Say you love me too

It's good making love

Feels so good making love

Tell my buddies roll on

I'll catch up later on

But we all know I won't

Something I just won't do

They're all down at last call

While I'm in bed with you

Say you love me too

All of my life

I searched for what's true

Without even looking

I found it in you

I guess we both know it's right

Even though we m,ight fight

It's a timeless affair

It's like wind in the air

Because when I look in your eyes

The clouds leave the skies

My pain starts to wane

So I'll say it again

Say you love me too
