about

"This song is boring, out of tune, and thoughtless. The lyrics are trite, senseless and confusing and the vocalist cannot carry a tune."

Despite that encouraging review - which may or may not have been about this song - I continued to make hissy 4-track recordings throughout the 90s and eventually worked my way up to the computer...which took away some of the hiss, I suppose.

LYRICS

Today I had my picture taken
Today I had my soul stole
Today it went into a camera
And landed on the film roll

We took it to the drugstore quickly
Development in just one hour
It's rare that these things often happen
But when they do it's Action Tower

I sat around oblique and friendly
Unaware I was un-whole
My friends took care of all the details
And soon they had the prints in tow

They put them in my hands discretely
And magnetism did its job
It filtered through the waxy colors
And I had what was almost robbed

Cheese

about

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.

Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
