u rollin'?




















Almost finished with cover of XTAL's 'Happy Americans'. (turn that shit down if u@work.) It'd be tough to top their version but it's been fun trying.
There was a funny moment in the studio when R was doing his background vocals and the way he was singing i just assumed that he couldnt hear himself in his headphones. So i axed him, "Sweetheart, can u hear yourself?" And R cracked up laughing and said "What do u mean? Like, what'd I do with the money?" Ha ha. It's an old joke...what did u do with the money that you were SUPPOSED to be spending on singing lessons. Sorry, explaining it took all the life out of it (makes sound of deflating balloon).
I hope this isnt old news 2u already.
No tour or shows or anything...2busy nodding off.

So who gets it from the water gun in your version?

ortega. i remember u giving it to noriega sometimes, or is that a false memory?

Yes, and it was originally Qaddafi, which is strangely prophetic as well.

The first recording with Sel Hwahng on bass mentions Qaddafi too.

But Ortega really pisses me off these days, so by all means, let him have it.

It was meant as one of those fill-in-the-blank kind of lyrics where you put in the name of whoever Americans are hating the most at any particular time. I remember you once suggested Robin Givens, which was pretty hilarious.

Yeah, I prefer that one. My guitar sounds the way it should there. My amp died a horrible death during the album sessions.
