Lyrics:
i'm coming back to NYC from LA
They'll throw a 21 gun parade.
My little girl, my habit locked me up in a cage
But I'm crawling back here to tell you...
Your daddy sicc'd his lawyer on my skinny bones
But i just wont accept his calls
Im coming back with NYC in my blood
chop me up...
Oh the sun is shining
and this fool is blinded (i'll watch your cells dividing)
Be my little razorblade
I'm coming back to New York City from LA
They'll throw a 21 gun paarde
I'm coming back with NYC in my blood
Chop me up ...
A highschool dream, you taught me how to play that scene
Kiss me like amphetamine
I went away, went off the track and shrunk my veins
Some melancholy getaway
Hardware:
3 chords and some JD and chowder
Software:
Soft? It's all HARD bro!

Yep &mdash 05/10/08 - 10:04:12 PM
Fantastic guys, but really how could it be otherwise with this band? This one is the ultimate entry to this thing for me, not only because you captured the sound so well, but the spirit of the whole challenge, too.
I love this place, I love you guys and if I weren't already married, I'd marry the bass on this song. [ Reply to This ]
P.S. &mdash 05/10/08 - 10:08:13 PM
I also love the gang of Steves singing back up. You'll have to teach me how to do that someday. [ Reply to This ]

didn't this ace band deserve a name of its own (except "The Macjams' New-wave all-stars") [ Reply to This ]

Grrrrrrrr!
(I'm not the happiest kid in Valrico when I think about it the trouble I went through to get this song posted with a new band name.)
Great post Steve. You have a super tight band and man, your vocals sound great and everything else sounds pro. It must be awesome to work with these chaps!

We've worked with people like this and we've never been able to agree on anything, except a band name.
We tried to post a song but for some bizarre reason it was never approved. I wonder if it was our band name?
Excellent song guys. You are a supergroup if I've ever seen one.

Thanks! &mdash 05/05/08 - 03:52:44 AM
big time producer .. LOL .. pfft .. your such a weeze ..
glad you asked me Steve to help out tweak this already fab, catchy, well constructed tune (even if I couldn't figure (skate?) out who was doing what), otherwise I wouldn't have had time to get involved at all in the wonder that is CBGB.
I didn't want to over 'produce' it .. (hard to achieve just post processing with Ozone anyways) .. and I liked it still having some 'demo'ish qualities... that was the idea after all.
Off to smoke a big fat cigar ..run off with the money to warmer climes ..anyone want a deal with EMI?? hehehe (in keeping with character) ;o) [ Reply to This ]
Hey alan &mdash 05/05/08 - 07:11:41 AM
You did a GREAT job on this - I should post the 'before' to let people hear! I couldnt open the setting you sent me, but i have downloaded the ozone manula, so i just dont piss about with presets!
Cheers matey! [ Reply to This ]

Steve, outstanding. It all meshes like you guys were in the same room. Special props to APB on the mix. Brilliant job tying all these great performances together. [ Reply to This ]
Hey KTB &mdash 05/05/08 - 08:48:41 AM
APB deserves the props, and Phil the Van Dude gave excellent mix advice too - thanks PVD! [ Reply to This ]

Pleasure to have so many talented MJ stars in the one room. I think Bowie needs this one to complete his next album.
I'll see what I can do...
Love it.

is just a great song. the best part is I knew this challenge would drag Steve out of his partial sabbatical. Great track. [ Reply to This ]
I tried to get out... &mdash 05/06/08 - 06:00:41 AM
... and they pulled me back in! i couldnt refuse Bud, or these guys - I mean, who could???? [ Reply to This ]
Oh man this is good &mdash 05/05/08 - 06:17:47 PM
what a ruckus of excess all for the sake of nihilistic thrills and super juicy ear candy. Yum. Very Scary Monsters. Great collab boys - you really did it his time. [ Reply to This ]
Scary &mdash 05/06/08 - 06:06:52 AM
Man, it is Scary Monsters type of guitar - my fav Bowie album! Wow, great job Tom! Thanks Bud! [ Reply to This ]
what a band &mdash 05/05/08 - 09:02:24 PM
great tune!
Excellent vocals and lyrics Steve. You've chopped me up to pieces.
Tom Wounded's cool guitars, man he has been working overtime for this event.
Bob on black & scratchy pumping out the bottom end, nice.
keys and drums right on the money. [ Reply to This ]
Talking Heads &mdash 05/05/08 - 10:55:02 PM
Very David Byrne bits in the vocals Steve. Top all round collab. Seems I might have missed some of the 80s too ;)

Byrning &mdash 05/06/08 - 06:11:58 AM
I think i was still channeling DB after the Bud collaboration, bit of a Talking Heads hangover. You can also just about hear Toms vocal in the mix! [ Reply to This ]

any better than this. Superb in every way. Well done all of you.

Wankers/Speedbumps &mdash 05/06/08 - 09:10:05 AM
I tried to get in the way, but Steve is a grizzly bulldozer. He crushes anything that tries to stop him from screaming his lungs out.
Chop me up! Chop me up!! [ Reply to This ]

You guys definitely should stay in business for awhile! This is one of the finest collabs I've heard at MJ.

...says to Lou Reed, he says, get Bowie after that last Transformer session, and meet me down at CBGB... We'll jam on 'Baby's On Fire' until it morphs into something else...
Or...or...or maybe something else happened...

LBR &mdash 05/09/08 - 09:07:04 PM
Fun Song to work out with the boys!
The first thing that hit me when I heard the vocals in the chorus was Axl Rose!
Sounds real good Steve you hit the bulleye
The rest of the band rocks also :D
its Bobs bass that kick started this
and Jim layered some nice sound paint on it.
Yeah, I'm proud to be a part of this number! [ Reply to This ]
i thought &mdash 05/10/08 - 02:28:33 PM

I'm with Ejh on this one Steve, very Transformery, but really really good too, has that essential Bowie tweaked chorus that saved Lou's hide and added that much needed grace, yeah grace and smack. Brilliant stuff in every single respect lads.
