Lodge 49 with Jim Gavin
From ANDRAS JONES: Lodge 49 is the kind of TV people who dig Radio8Ball are going to love, if you don’t already. In this segment I am joined on the line by L49’s creator, author JIM GAVIN, to discuss my obsession with his show. Their second season begins on AMC on my birthday, August 12th, and I’ve been working on building a Radio8Ball episode with them since last fall. The wait was worth it and the opportunity to spend the first twenty minutes or so of this session just asking Jim questions about his intentions for the show, its connection to his written work, and the psychic space it shares with the Pop Oracle, was pure joy for me.
This being our season finale as I devote the next couple of months to putting out my new record “All You Get” I chose to make material from this album our oracle fodder, and I even wrote a little song called Lodge 49 to cue up my question for The Pop Oracle. Its answer lands an immediate sync with a line (uttered by David Ury) in season 2 of the series. And here, as I’m writing this I see that today’s randomly chosen Pop Oracle song from the R8B App is from my old album Mr. Jones & The Hard Feelings. Well, I guess it’s time to go.
POP ORACLE Song of The Day (August 1, 2019): Mr. Jones & The Hard Feelings “Time To Go”
Cartesian Shack
There’s a Cartesian shack
where I go to unwind out back
and the fumes in the shack are so thick
that at first I start feelin’ sick
but then the
nausea dissipates
and I’m suddenly feeling great
in my Cartesian shack…
Oh yeah
A vision comes unto me
First I see her
then she sees me
and she offers me some cheese
I say, “No thank you.
I’m a vegan”,
and she gets down on her knees
and worships me
‘til I believe her
in my Cartesian shack
Oh yeah
You think therefore you are
That’s pretty good
but I’ve gone further
Slumped here at the bar
“I coulda been
you’re fuckin’ fuhrer
but I’m the stupertsar
of my private controversy
Now you know the score
so maybe you could spare some mercy…”
for the guy out back
in his Cartesian shack
Cartesian shack
Oh yeah
Cartesian shack
Oh yeah
Cartesian shack
Oh yeah
Way out back in a Cartesian shack
Ba-bom-bom-bah
Cartesian shack
Ba-ba-bom-ba-baaah…
