Today's entry in the A-Z is "Best Friend on the Payroll" - the penultimate track on the Southpaw Grammar album.
What do we think of this one?
Maybe a nod to Walters being involved in Refusal’s artwork. **maybeI prefer the Miraval acoustic version.
Yes, a 'Jake' song, but given the amount of time passed, it would be interesting to know why it was featured so heavily on setlists in 2009 (the only year it was played).
Assuming it was about to be 'over' circa '95 when Slee reappeared.

I mean... the demo had 'more' lyrics with a different first line and is less repetitive with the paper line being used only once so it seems like it was a conscious decision to have a 'simpler' version on the record
I thought it might appeal to you more!I like that version soooo much more, it gives his voice more room to work its magic.

It is, it's rather pleasant and soft like all the Miraval demos. But to me it's not supposed to be pretty. That's why I like the 2009 "bull in a china shop" version so much. His deeper, fuller voice is much better suited to it.That one's prettier.
He does create a vivid impression of pottering around the house with the best friend getting on his wick.

That said, he was still photographing him in 2008/2009 - and the song gets used
