Outtake from Z, I believe.

Post by: BH on Feb 08, 2009, 09:05 PM
I am guessing that was an early title for Highly Suspicous.  I hope I'm wrong.

That's a pretty good song. Have any other outtakes surfaced?

Wow, I like this song a lot. Sounds more like a EU outtake than Z to me, but either way, how the hell didnt this make the cut for EU?!?! Two Halves makes it on over this Devil's PBJ sandwich?!!?!

I think after 1 listen I like it more than half of EU.

My guess is that Jim went insane and wrote a whole concept album of peanut butter songs. But the band staged an invervention and told Jim that, for the love of God, he needed to write about other things. They told him he could keep just one song, hence Highly Suspicious, MMJ's most misunderstood track, which stands as a testament to what a polarizing work of genius his original vision would have been.

this  has got to be a joke. between 'dear wife' and  'devil's peanut butter' i'm left thinking jj swallowed mccartney whole.

next we'll find he's bought a farm in scotland. he already has the jacket and the woolie hat.

and what's with the lawrence welk steal!   ::)
please let it be a joke.

Seeing as how Paul was at the Grammys last nite, I dont think JJ ate him Hannibal Lecter style.

And you seriously think this sounds like a McCartney song?!!!? The music definitely doesnt, and the lyrics dont really either. Sounds like neo-vintage MMJ to me.

If anything, it sounds more like a George Harrison tune than McCartney

I had to do some research but I have confirmation that this song is an outtake from Z.  

If you watch the EPK for Z they show a list of potential songs at one point and Devil's Peanut Butter is the tenth song listed.


(wow, I am such a geek for this band)
Title: Re: Devil's Peanut Butter
Post by: xmascriminal on Feb 09, 2009, 07:23 PM
Well then it's good they cut it, because it wouldn't have fit on Z. But as far as EU is concerned, they could have replaced Two Halves and Thank You Too with Dear Wife and Devil's Peanut Butter, and I would have been happy.

That's the reference I thought the poster was refering to.  And for some reason I thought I saw that on the EU EPK, that's why I thought it was Highly Suspicious.  I had no idea there was this track floating around.  Awesome!  How do I get this!!!!!

Agreed. I dont think the sound is quite Z or EU, but sounds like something they wrote in between almost. That said, I think it wouldve fit great on EU but I understand why they wouldve cut it out of Z.

I can think of a handful of songs on EU Id want replaced with DPB

Try listening to Two Halves this summer when the sun starts going down and you are cruising around in a classic car sippin' on a cherry coke.   If you've done all of that, and you still don't like it, then keep trying. ;)

I noticed that country twang in the way JJ sings the verses, and then the steel guitar...the bassline and rest of the music just gives it so many other elements as well.

Still never heard this song. Not sure I do. I sort of like the idea of having one song in the arsenal, one bit of lore, one forbidden fruit that remains as such. It's like Calvin's voice: perhaps what I imagine to sound like will never live up to what it actually sounds like.

i'm not sure if its frowned upon to pass this out or not. i believe jim said they didn't want  the song to ever be released, but at the same time it WAS released and isn't available to buy.

it is quite a fun jam though

Why?

Easily one of their best songs.

Who am I kidding? Here you gohttp://forum.mymorningjacket.com/index.php/topic,15070.msg267330.html#msg267330 (http://forum.mymorningjacket.com/index.php/topic,15070.msg267330.html#msg267330)

There's a thread on here somewhere that discusses this. I don't have the time to search for it though.

I'm assuming JDUB didn't know, but this question about Devil's Peanut Butter has been asked, quite recently in fact, and put to rest.

Back when I first joined the forum, DPB was available in a number of places, including The Steam Engine blog.  However, the band does not want this track public and it was pulled from various websites.

Many of you have noted the ID on this track lists the composer as Scott Cresto (http://www.qmusic.com.au/bigsound2009/index.cfm?action=dsp_speaker&ID=437&contentID=406).  (the following is speculation)  Cresto is a record exec who likely gave the green light to put DPB on something called the Sundance Film Fest Sampler 2007 (there's a picture of Cresto online at Sundance in 2005).  My guess is he included this track, recorded during the "Z" sessions, without or against the band's wishes.  A search of this guy shows he's still in the biz.

Bottom line, some of us got the track before the band's wishes were made clear.  Most recently, when this came up again, I asked for the band's permission to provide a download link.  The band's wishes continue to be that the track not be publicly shared.  We need to respect that.

MMJ provides its fans with so much, some for sale and some for free.  Don't use the forum on their website to disrespect their wishes.

The other day a theory involving this song popped into my head, so I thought I'd revive this thread.

I hear "Highly Suspicious" as (at least partially) an expression of Jim's dubious feelings toward the marketing and business sides of the music industry: "Ain't nobody care what's goin on in your mind, but they got they eye on your prize."

It occurred to me that the "peanut butter pudding surprise" could be a direct reference to the DPB release debacle. The surprise was played on the band by the label/whoever put DPB on that Sundance sampler (which dropped just a few months before the EU writing sessions).

Through that lens, HS comes across as an explicit indictment of the industry's disregard for the feelings and wishes of artists. It's a line that just seems silly on the surface, but those involved at the label might know exactly which Peanut Butter Jim's talking about—with the implication of, "don't ever fucking do that again."

Maybe I've just thought about this too much :shocked:, but what do y'all think? Does this theory hold any water?
