From ANDRAS JONES: BEN KATZMAN, the self avowed “shredder”, joins his friend ABBY WEEMS of the band Potty Mouth for a rollicking Pop Oracle session that may serve as a primer for those older listeners who aren’t up with modern hipster jargon. I have to admit, I found myself disoriented by the verbal smorgasbord Ben brought to the table. Not in an unpleasant way. I mean, he didn’t know what I was talking about when I compared him to Neal Cassidy and I had no idea what a “fire video” was but we both could agree on Van Halen’s “Diver Down” and that, my friends, is the essence of shred.
CHERRY PICKING
fresh, sweet, cool, sleek.
I am the real thing, I’ll climb the highest tree.
I am the real thing, as real as really real can be.
cherry picking, do I want some of what you’re living for my own?
cherry picking, I want what you’ve got, I want what you’ve got.
fresh, sweet, cool, sleek.
I’m faking nothing, I’ll stretch beyond my reach.
I’m faking nothing, dare me to go ahead and leap.
cherry picking, do I want some of what you’re living for my own?
cherry picking, can I have some? feels like my basket isn’t full.
cherry picking, ooooh.
cherry picking, I want what you’ve got, I want what you’ve got.
you know when you see yourself and you didn’t expect to be that person?
how did you get there? really, who are you? how many pieces of yourself were picked out of what everyone else might call “the blue?”
cherry picking, do I want some of what you’re living for my own?
cherry picking, can I have some? feels like my basket isn’t full.
cherry picking, ooooh.
cherry picking, I want what you’ve got, I want what you’ve got.
fresh, sweet, cool, sleek, fresh.
