I spent 72 hours on these sessions. I only remember eating Doritos and drinking Dr. Pepper. Of course I must have stopped to sleep and/or smoke, but I don't remember specifically doing so.
I didn't take any pictures or videos while recording. No one else was involved other than the couple of times that Sissy contributed chatter and recorder playing.
I hope human history continues to crown me the only person to ever make an empty Dorito bag sound like a beach storm.
(why does spellcheck reject 'Dorito' in singular, but not in plural? ... The Lays slogan is right!!!)
I can be heard talking to one of my cats, Steve, and calling him a "carrot man." An earlier draft of this track was called "The New Carrot Monitor" (and yes, my other cat's name was Tyler).
