This is one of our "jam" songs I guess. It is about one of my many cats. If you read my comic Kitty Litter you've already met Sophie and heard a song about her here. Well Tako is one of the other inspirations for her. Every stupid thing Sophie has ever said is pure Tako. No she's not a talking cat but ask anyone who has met her and they will tell you that she is bat shit crazy. She's acutally going nuts as I type this. She's a five year old cat who acts like a five month old kitten. And yes she likes to sit on my shoulders. Luckily she's not very big. Anyway, onto the recording process. I recorded a demo of this on my 4 track a long time ago and I gave it a real heavy 80's sound (they're coming back have you heard?) it sounded really good but I wanted to add some stuff. Unfortunately the keyboard at Lee's house is much nicer than mine and the drum tracks on it sound more like real drums than on my yamaha keyboard. Normally this would be good but not for this song. All that being said I think the drum track we did was just fine just not as fake as I wanted it to sound. I did the bass track on the same keyboard with a synth bass effect which I had to do twice and was a pain in the ass. My favorite part though is the jam section. Lee plays the first guitar solo which is awesome, he's a much better guitar soloist than I could ever be. My guitar solo is the second and is loaded with plenty of obnoxious distortion to mask the fact that I suck. This also probably has the most abstract ending out of any song we've ever recorded. Pete started messing with a soon to be burned upright piano in our studio and we were inspired to put it at the end of the song. Unfortunately we were getting crappy sound out of it so I recorded the little didy at the end with the keyboard. All in all I think this song is one of the best sounding we've ever done and I'm real happy with it. Hope you like it too. Later, Ryan H.
