"Dinner with the philistines", There's a long story about a strange almost surreal evening at a recent entertainment industry event/dinner that myself and a few others from my company (JFRocks Music Publishing) attended which would clarify this song's title, but I'll spare you all the story as it's just too long to explain. Needless to say while I know I have to go to these things from time to time, I honestly sometimes wish I could send a stunt-double in my place. LOL...
I will say, this track ROCKS!!. crank it up, and enjoy!! The louder the better for sure. I composed and recorded it at Malibu studios for a TV pilot project I'm part of. These are always fun to do as you kind-of get free reign to just create something. Being the eccentric hyper-creative type that I am, that sort of direction is right up my alley for sure. In this song's case it's more of a groove piece than anything else. It's a little like my track "Honeysuckle weeks", but "Honeysuckle" on crack. There's also more of a sideways groove going on with this piece, which I always enjoy working with.
F.Y.I. for those unaware or unwilling to bother Googling it, a "Philistine" by definition is someone who is hostile or indifferent to culture and the arts, but more importantly for the purposes of this song's title it also refers to someone who is materialistic i.e. guided by materialism.
