I Wanna Stay Home
Jellyfish
When you need someone
And there's no one there
There is always the nine o'clock train
To take you out somewhere
I take the train in town
Like I did for years
There is only seven more blocks
I could walk from here
I wanna stay home
I wanna stay home right here
I wanna stay home today
I wanna stay
It's only six o'clock
When my day begins
There is always my alarm clock
To wake me up again
When I realize the weight
That's firmly on my shoulders
I just try and find the place
I can take a walk on my blind side
When these memories fade
In my ripe old age
Please remember my dear
I wanna stay home
I wanna stay home right here
I wanna stay home today
I wanna stay
I wanna stay
I wanna stay
I wanna stay
I wanna stay

I have always loved this fucking song. And the production - my gawd, the production.

Doubt Andy Sturmers ever going to work with them again so this might be all we get.

(22,990 posts)Very cool. I love Sturmer's voice, so too bad about that. Apparently he's scoring shows for Disney lately.
The Lickerish Quartet will release their debut EP, Threesome Vol.1, on 15 May. The group brings together Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (Beck, Air, Cheap Trick, Imperial Drag), Tim Smith (Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, the Finn Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Umajets), and Eric Dover (Imperial Drag, Slash's Snakepit, Alice Cooper, Sextus). All three were also members of beloved cult rock act Jellyfish. Jeremy Stacey, most recently of King Crimson, provides drums on the collection.
The record is the first of three EPs that will see the light of day over roughly 18 months as the group have prepped a dozen tracks for release. Fans of both Jellyfish and Imperial Drag will rejoice at the Quartet's sound. There are doses of XTC/Queen/ELO-style harmonic structures, flirtations with progressive and psychedelic rock, and tasteful but deeply impressive musicianship.

(4,115 posts)Was hoping youd stumble upon this post. Lebowski and I were going to hunt you down and hand it to you if you hadnt.
Unspeakably envious about your poster. No one gets me anything like that at Christmas.

(11,787 posts)Makes sense. Jellyfish was an odd band. Caught between hair metal and grunge. But they were huge influences on every musician I know....
It's so going under the giant velvet Elvis I has on the ceiling!

(4,115 posts)You dont just stuff a holy relic like that into an off-the-shelf dime store frame.
Nu-uh. That thing gets triple-matted on acid-free paper with a little cutout underneath to hold the ticket stub from their live show. Assuming you have one. The Dude can lend you one if you dont, I believe.
