about

I received a postcard once that had a picture of all these little kids dressed in crazy animal Halloween costumes, and they were splayed about someone’s yard amongst a smattering of pumpkins. It looked like they (the kids and the pumpkins) had all been thrown there haphazardly by some giant hand, and it kind of freaked me out. Sometimes when I get freaked out I write a song, like I did in October of 2006.

lyrics

LYRICS

It looks like someone was rolling dice
But instead of dice
They were rolling pumpkins
I guess they had to be very big
Bigger than anyone that ever lived
'Cause that's a lot of pumpkins
And they're all over the yard

What's that in the pumpkins
Scattered and battered too
A penguin and a bunny
A zebra, a bumblebee
There're some things that I don't recognize
One of them looks like it probably flies
And they're gathered in the pumpkins
All over the yard

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.
