From ANDRAS JONES: As we close in on the end of this Pop Oracle session with ABBY WEEMS of the band Potty Mouth we are joined by one of their fans. ALYSSA d’ARTENAY is a studio engineer currently studying her craft in the Cal State system. Our guest in this spot was supposed to be Kim Shattuck of The Muffs (their bass player Ronnie Barnett joins us for the next episode with Jeffrey Gaines) but at the last minute Kim had to drop out and Alyssa bravely stepped up. As her question reveals, Alyssa’s future in the industry is a mystery to her but synchronicity has a weird knack for lighting upon the most auspicious people before they emerge to the wider public. Oh Alyssa, you are the “creeper weed”. Look out Hollywood.
CREEPER WEED
you say you think I’ve changed, that I just look the same, and nothings left of who you knew or thought I was.
I see why it seems like that, it’s ‘cause I’m unattached, and nothings quite like being what I need at night.
I am I am I am this way.
I’m confused what you mean when you say I’m not me as if the part of me you knew was all there was.
I can turn on a dime, what will i be this time? I do it ‘cause I’m trying to survive this life.
It’s been a few years to the day
and I’m upset I wasn’t always this way.
I wasn’t always, I am I am I am this way.
There’s a new name they call me, I am the creeper weed. I’ll sneak up on you slowly and consume you’re mine.
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah.
Miss me yet?
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah.
I am I am I am this way. I am I am I am, could you believe it?
