Re-recording of this 2003 song with Ted Key (Organ) and Adrian Secker (Piano). Adrian has played live with us a couple of times this year so it was a project to recreate the live sound in the studio. Back in 2003 there was no streaming and the original recording (song title 'Jack Johnson' ) was on CD and received local radio airplay for a few weeks. Spotify wouldn't accept a song titled with another artists name - hence the title change.

Jack Johnson

Driving up the Kawera gorge to Queenstown
Looking out the windows at the cars
Then you go and make a small commotion
Pointing out the V-dub that went past

Did you think you saw Jack Johnson
Did you see a surfboard and guitar
I think you’ve had way to much my friend
Cause everybody here looks like a star

Coronet is lovely as an ice cream
We’re carving up the snow having a ball
Then you go and make a small commotion
Pointing out a cool dude on a board

Sunday and we’re on the beach hung over
Recalling when the Eichardts was a bar
I feel like some kiwifruit pavlova
You’re still musing bout that V-dub car

Everybody Here Looks Like A Star

'Chinatown'

Five years ago I uploaded this love song for my new kitten Oliver: https://soundcloud.com/janinelevinson/oliver-1?si=ad6c7f7cc2774b8ebe8167e6dd041e16&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Now I present this more...er...informed love song "Oliver Hates Everything," with the inevitable adjustments for reality. Five years Mr. Oliver it feels a lot longer. 

Thank you David and Jonathan for your fine ears.

Oliver Hates Everything. - 2026 by Janine Levinson

every morning
when we wake up
he is newly disappointed
with the life that we provide him

and he wanders
down the hallway
moaning loudly so it echos
off the bare walls and the ceiling

oliver hates everything
and makes sure that we know about
heralding his sadness with a horn
as the sunshine brings the majesty of dawn

then he perks up
over breakfast
but temporarliy because
he thinks his feast just aint that fancy

and he hacks up
just a hairball
which he tells us wouldn’t happen
if we kept up with his brushing

oliver hates everything
its more than just a passing phase
howling as he shreds another toy

oliver’s a very special boy

oliver hates everything
and makes sure that we know about it
heralding his sadness with a horn

every evening
while we’re eating
he is traumatized by mice
that live above us in the ceiling

in the bathtub
he is howling
catching drips of water hardly keeps him busy
he’s complaining

oliver hates everything
and never stops to think about it
moaning through the night and through the day
but oliver will never run away

olvier hates everything

Aporia is an ongoing Internet collab project based around the piano/bass duo 'Kirby/Ward'. Occasionally we capture something at rehearsal that we send to dummer Dane Renshaw (Thailand) and guitarist Bruce Musser (U.S.A) to add their respective talents too.  As always Aporia may or may not record more music... guess we are halfway to an album.
