Live take on a Neil Young classic by @jeffreymartinmusic
Jeffrey Martin “Out On The Weekend” – visiting with Neil
Now, we know what you're wondering - why would master song smith Jeffrey Martin be recording a Neil Young song ? Well, let Jeffrey Martin explain, nay, justify himself: "I’m really drawn to his notion that joy is a thing that can feel hard to relate to. Like it’s something you observe in other people’s lives, but not yours. He’s got this girl, he’s got this love, he’s got this work he’s doing— but all of it just kinda drags him around and maybe he feels discontented and unseen and lonely more often than not.

Off out into a nearby field in the pitch black to shoot some photos for a possible album cover. Chaos will doubtless ensue and I expect I’ll trip over or be bitten by a startled neighbour’s dog or some other comedy mishap. Onwards!

JANET:
Ugh...

I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:

LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
