/[Album Mix]

This is what happens when two mates get drunk while trying to collaborate on a track. Stupid shit. 

We did this at Mr. Hotrod's flat over the course of about four sessions. I sat back and let him to the music 'cos he was using Reason, so I had no idea how to do it. Although I think I programmed the beat. Then once I was totally toasted, I started improvising on the mic, Hotrod ran it through a stupid filter and we had our backing vocal. Our favourite bit was the "p-p-party party" bit.

This was the second time we'd done something together; the first was on the final week of a community arts project (Audiosity) in Geraldton, where we discovered the movie Xanadu for the first time. We watched it about ten times that week and, together with D'Cyphr, put together the instrumental for a cover of the title song to perform at the project's big event. So there's a history of drunken collaboration there. There was inebriated discussion of starting a project called Gayest Shit Ever at some point, but we were too busy to ever do much more.

This was the only album track included in Tomás Ford vs The Audience, as it was the only one with appropriate subject matter, but it's very different from those tracks. It's celebratory of the stupidity of getting tinnitus at a dance party, wheras my vs stuff was more about directly poking fun at other people. In this one I'm on the dancefloor too. But I'm analysing my own song after the fact, which is kind of like sucking myself off, so I'm going to stop.

I remixed this for Tomás Ford's Idea Of Fun because it wasn't structured in the dj-friendly way I wanted it to be, and I wanted to beef the booty shaking parts a bit. That's the version I like better, but this one captures the sound of me and Hotrod, getting drunk, making absolutely stupid tunes together.
