Wax Poetics ... sometimes there's magazines you'd sell your own soul to publish.

It sounds like a dubbed out cousin of the muppets' "moving right along", the ragtime bounce slowed to
a paranoid plod.

'Secret Friend,' the other bonus track on the McCartney II cd, is waaay better.

Thanks for that!!! John sometimes got major props for being the "radical Beatle," which was true politically and to a large extent verbally. But lightweight Paul, with his "silly love songs," has gradually been revealed as the musical mad scientist of the group, with early lessons learned, no doubt, from George Martin.

Temporary Secretary at least had a bit of almost sentimental affection for the light hearted temp and a classic slip up on an early sequencer - I really think it was one of his best non-Wings post-Beatles songs. This sounds like what a midget in Croydon would dance to if he were a Jamaican rasta guy for a talent show. This is the second time I've listened to it, and that's quite enough - I'll listen to it again when I'm 64 and Macca is 105.

Agreed with 4 & 6: "Secret Friend" is fantastic. Kind of reminds me of Yellow Magic Orchestra/Haruomi Hosono.
