oh my sacred calves....

good morning well wishers
how now brown cow?
youll be pleased to know
the falcon is now a smooth sleek silent panther
a blue grey blur
king midas did me nicely
fixed my muffla
my a.c. problem
flush my transmission
oiled my greased nipples
n changed my mind
wow
im sailing down the street now
toddy rundgren pumping
"i was born to synthesize, energise n catalyze"
yes toddy, me too..
i got me a big ass olde car now
(actually it is a little hard to park...)
cruising down this shuddering highway
(actually olde south head road)
i got a silver machine!!
watch out you hoity toity olde posh bags in yer bmw suvs
the killer is comin' on thru nohow!
anyway
enough of that petrolhead nonsense
el mo 2 getting near finished
a few surprises...
i cant tell ya natch...or they wont be surprises
but ya gonna do a dubble-take on some of this
thats for sure
and i guarantee it
im supposed to finish 3 portraits of the band as well
where will i find all this time
they say bring painting into studio
you can paint n mix at same time
sure
and i could juggle too
or keep plates spinning
with one lobe tied behind my back
n a blindfold on
thats the trubble
give em everything
n
they expect everything
so much work for the lazy old being to do
yesterday i get home late
do yoga on yonder balcony
mosquitoes attack attack attack
suck my blood
(i am a red blooded male!)
nasty nasty little biters
had to stop during the tree pose
those female mosquitoes all over my lovely calves
and i dont want em ruined with nasty bites
i want them to remain a pristine wilderness
of suntan n muscle
cmon they are beautiful .....
am i allowed to say this?
i mean the rest of me is.....alright...
but my calves....oh my calves
and my doom never to be able to see em properly
always have to bend n twist n reflect
not the biggest calves youll ever see
just the secksiest....easily
in fact if you see a better set of calves than mine
drop me an email
killahcalves@leggy.org.asm
and send me dubble yer money back as a deposit
if any one else has better leggies
i'll keep the money....ok?
sorted
my calves are actually negotiating with sir dennis hand-jobbe
from xyz records about doing a solo album
course its gonna be instrumental
(calves cant sing, silly)
featuring
i kneed you
spank my ankles
toeing the line
vanilla thigh
n groin injury
oh ho ho ho
(dont you wish this would stop?)
we already got a foot in the door here
and my calves are appearing in some new shorts
n films soon
hop in to yer record store
n demand the killers calves
before this whole joke is milked dry
(disgruntled subscriber in east cheam says
i thought he was telling us about fucking hayday today
and then we get this loada bollocks bout his calves!)
anyway
allow me my levity, fiendss
im working so hard im going bloody balmy
but thats how you like us olde genii
slightly nutty
its one of the perks of the job
be serious for twenny years
then become a total looney..
eccentricity they call it
oh olde steve...hes a bit...eccentric
ye see....im not just a crazy olde bastard
im a venerable eccentric gentlemen
a V.E.G.
now us V.E.G.s are getting kinda rare
now pablo picassos gone..
its really only bobby dylan, lenny cohen n me left
(not necessarily in that order)
im like a national treasure
but no ones treasuring me much
im like a vintage car
driving myself slowly mad
im like an old master
with no peace
although it breaks my heart to leave ya
fiendss i mist bid you a fond adieu
see ya tomorra
24 hours for you
an eternity for me
love
left n right calf

...but do boby dylan and lennid cohen have pins as nice as yours?

...I'm sure some enterprising young calf fetishest will post a link so we may compare these three noble sets of gams and conclude for ourselves.

Indeed a finely turned calf is a 'ting to behold.

yeeess well D did mention how "wicked "those calve were at the national..Not that I would have realized..I think nk might have some concern if Dwas lurking the Bondi rock pools..Any -way I got better...Ummmm..Fuc Nup! You are a hot-dog a woolf wistle waiting to happen, a generic chrissy pressy for the female genda, a cruise missile headed straight for the frontal lobe of the breast carting long haired variety...DAM! and ya alright at spinning a songie and painting by dots..not badde on the blum-in bass either.
The rest of us are screwed killa just thought you should know..
As if ya do.

Um what else can I say

Don't ever change, you eccentric gentleman genius.

As an avid cyclist, my calves are oft-commented upon. I think my calves could give your calves a run for their money!

(But you beat me hands-down in the punning stakes, I fear)

Good day to you, Mr. Kilbey!

popi zeus said...

people have often commented on the fine form of my calves openly refering that popeye has nothing on me and thus being a likewise luxurious calver I feel I can honestly say moo too to you SK don't you dare hide your calves away because the world won't be as nice a place today, if you do.

CSTCoach said...

it seems those calf joke has calved itself off of the blog and floated on over to the comments.

its like a sickness, some sort of calve-ital punishment. but puns were always an achilles heel.

listening to Egyptian Register as i type this. A calve-alcade of instrumentals, all toned and shiny and smooth. almost shaven. could that be a cloven hoof down there? do i detect a faustian bargain? did a certain TB sell his soul for the best shanks in the biz??

My boss just enquired what I was laughing at.
I said “Sk’s Blog”
He said “forward it through to me, I need a laugh”
I said “only if you promise to send some dosh Sk's way”

So, Steven, if you see thirty or forty bucks deposited in your account from a fairly high profile public servant, good. If not let me know and I'll hit him over the head with his cellophane roll of multiple newspapers.

Love

Ps: he will be reading this comment – so he is now on notice.

SK,

You'll be pleased to know I'm not freeloading, have contributed to ye olde blogge. Had prob last wk tried to pay in advance ($10) but it didn't go through, will give it another go don't know how it's been set up, so have paid weekly price.

Sun nite went to Dee Why RSL and saw Mondo Rock. (Next yr when the band does gigs for new record why don't you play there.) There was a big crowd and they had a young local band as support. If the Church plays there can bet ya there would be people turned away.
I didn't realise Ross Wilson co-wrote "A touch of paradise" he said he would sing it better than John Farnham, and think he was right. They have had Jenny Morris, The Whitlams, Jon Stevens, Choirboys play there, so maybe your Manager will think about it (and the extra cash might come in handy.)

Caught up with the last few blogges,
(just getting better n better).
Re: "I olde n ugly" who you talking about Nevets? Could not say that about one band member, in fact PK looks exactly the same.
Not asking to put yeselfs through the torture of making another vid, (but I really like the ones on the Goldfish dvd)what ever happened to the o/s concerts that were filmed? A live concert dvd would be awesome.
What's this TV interview about details please - (not a guest spot on Oprah?)

A wk today till the Twillies arrive. Hope you're getting your Santa Suit ready, it will be a big Chrissie coming up.

Glad the car is now full of energy
and putting the others to shame.
Keep those calves in good condition.

Love Therese

I have unfortunately been cursed with chicken legs. My Dad had em and passed em straight onto me,. Long and spindly. (Although I prefer slender and elongated).
My wife never buys me shorts...keep em hidden she says.
My friends wonder why I'm wearing jeans on 40 degree days...I'm so ashamed...it's just unaustralian.

If only I could borrow Kilbey's calves for a day....and run along the beach in me only pair of shorts proud, tanned and god like. People would call out "Doesn't Mark look good in Steve Kilbey's calves?!!"

Seriously though, I would like to hire em out for a day...I'm having trouble with some guitar parts on my new rekkid. Only for the instrumental parts of course.

holy cow sacred calves nevets! yes u do have nice ones. I was just thinking about them today, or rather smiling to myself remembering you barefoot in those brown corduroy shorts you wore backstage that were ripped from a pair of jeans, frayed to buggery and one side longer than the other ... UNLESS thats the latest fashion statement in Bondi? :) Not many could get away with that.

Now, i see that aussies voted in their numero 1 alltime fave album to be Dark Side Of The Moon with Jeff Buckley's GRACE (oh yeah) coming in second and Radioheads OKC at third. THAT just makes me think my vote for Priest was justified MUCH as i still love DSOTM. I also think of P=A (like Dark Side Of The Moon) as a concept album that wasnt pretentious.

Sorry but I really love visuals. Maybe Im a little shallow there in that way wanting to see u guys play your guitars and sing.. but there ya go. You just havent found the right video director, tho' EASY is pretty good because its not contrived and I did love Metropolis and Tantalized a whole lot. You're Still Beautiful with Marty swinging upside down too :)

Ere, Steve, remember when you used to describe the Church as a surrealist band?
When it came to the videos, I always wondered why you din't use em as an opportunity to emphasise the surrealist elements.
You always said you didn't care about the promo videos - but wasn't it just an extra chance to be creative?
MWP got a lot of Cocteau imagery into his Night Is Over video - couldn't Church videos have incorporated surrealist ideas?
Would've been better than that fuckin knight anyhow, eh!

And speaking of painting, I finally could not resist the temptation to buy the painting of the same name as one of the best songs on "Uninvited". Yes, "Unified Field" belongs to the Glen Dude now, and happy he is about it, too! Thanks, Steve! The time for a commissioned work is fast approaching. It is cool to own three original Kilbeys. And I won't stop there. Keep up the great work, celebrated mister K!

He has forgotten to make records for a long time but you can hear the amazing "Beasley Street" on MySpace under his name. He is coming Down Under for Big Day Out. He was amazed and delighted to learn The Church were still going strong. He remembered the Kilbey brothers well and thought they were from Liverpool. But that's Marty, isn't it?

To anonymous 12:42,

An extra $800 a month? Oh sure, sign me up. But there are a few conditions:
1) I get up when I want.
2) I get to be on break constantly.
3) I don't have to get dressed.
4) I get to read 'The Time Being' whenever I want.
5) Productivity is to be discouraged.
6) Free beer.
7) I get to give myself a raise every day.
8) Give me cash up front. Lots of it.

Dear Mr. Kilbey,

I met you in Detroit at the lovely Magic Bag show where you presented us with Jazzy Reptile for a 3rd encore! We spoke of Grant outside the back door. As a tribute, my friend and I played Quiet Heart and Love Goes On! at a local coffeehouse with a friend who plays violin.

Anyway, I read your December 2nd write-up of P=A and enjoyed it immensely. It is my fav album (and song for that matter) although Hotel Womb is close. I love the line "They killed their enemies by loving them to death." I also love the line "Wear a gun in a crowd but their breasts aren't allow" ~ a nice summation of American culture. We substitute sex in our movies with violence.

Anyway, I've always been aware of Church goings and have purchased most albums in between P=A and the present. I was particularly hooked back in at HOB. Can you elaborate on those sessions? The songs are strong but sometimes the vocals got lost in the mix (i.e. Buffalo, Tranquility are a little too ethereal on the vocals when compared to your Intimate & Acoustic version vocally.) How come? I'd love a different mix with your pipes brought forward.

Peace!
