Rating: 7.0
John: Boo, wanker!
Paul: John! I thought you were dead.
John: Of course I'm dead. I'm just back for a while to haunt the shit out of the assholes at
VH-1 for making that awful movie about us.
Paul: Oh.
John: What is this shite you're listening to?
Paul: The Green Pajamas.
John: The what?
Paul: The Green Pajamas. They're a psychedelic band from Seattle. I like the harmonies!
John: The harmonies are fine... what's this song called?
Paul: Let's see: "My Visit With Magpie."
John: Does this song have more than two chords?
Paul: I think there's a third one in there somewhere.
John: I don't hear one.
Paul: Calm down, John, the song's just about over...
John: Now this is more like it. Four full chords! And I like the lyrics. Dark. Which song is
this?
Paul: Uh... "She Doesn't Love You Anymore."
John: I like it. Good riff.
Paul: Here comes the bridge...
John: What the fock is this?! Why is it that today's singers seem infatuated with sounding
like there's a pillow over their fookin' 'eads?! The reverb and chorus were bad enough-– this
is just ridiculous!
Paul: Alright then, we'll skip a few. How about this one? "Planet Love."
John: This is getting boring...
Paul: The lyrics are pretty.
John: Are you even fucking listening?! This song's about death!
Paul: John, I'm pretty sure it's about love.
John: It's not bad, it just sounds like everything else so far.
Paul: I thought you'd like this.
John: I never said I liked it. The effects are starting to piss me off. Too much reverb. This
whole album sounds like it was recorded inside a fucking cave.
Paul: Alright, try this one: "Still Never Away."
John: Hey, Paul, I kind of like this.
Paul: It sounds Baroque, dunnit?
John: If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it! Eh, wait a second... did the song just change? I
can't tell.
Paul: Um... yes. This is the title track.
John: Where have I heard that melody before?
Paul: Maybe in one of my songs...
John: Not likely!
Paul: Well, you know, when you hear a really good melody, oftentimes you feel as if you've
heard it before.
John: A fucking stolen melody has the same effect, ya bloody wanker.
Paul: Well, I guess so. But George Martin once told me...
John: You know, Paul, I have to say I'm really starting to get into this. What song is this?
Paul: The last one? It's called "High Waving Heather." It's about Emily Bronte.
John: I kind of like this album. Good guitar... most people seem to have forgotten the concept
of minor scales. What's the guitarist's name?
Paul: Jeff Kelly. He's also the lead singer.
John: He's not so bad. I'd probably like him a bit more if he weren't trying so hard to sound
like me.
Paul: Actually, John, I think he's trying to sound like me.
John: You wanna see me dick?
Paul: Sorry, John. I just really think he's trying to sound like...
John: Look at me dick!
Paul: Put that away!
