about

Gabe: How long did this take, fourteen hours?
Will: Yeah, someone called this our Chinese Democracy.
Dan H: They should never have tried to race Team Sea Shanty.
Chloe: This song was born out of Liv’s observation that every great band has a song about suicide.
Liv: Yeah that’s right, you heard it from Chloe and now you’re hearing it from me – all great bands have a song about suicide.
Eli D: This was one of the first two songs that the Collective began writing, and though it was written entirely in the first hour point five of the marathon, recording didn’t finish until about 2:30, if I’m remembering correctly.
Gabe: Also, Eli G and I kept saying “kitchens and moonshine” during “kittens and sunshine”. It was accidental, but I think moonshine is better than sunshine.
Laini: Certain instruments were just right for some songs, like the faucets in Windowburn and the theremin in I, Norbit. In Suicide and Sunshine, it is the kazoo. It is absolutely, wholeheartedly, the kazoo.
Eli G: I also said pumpkins instead of puppies and never really found out what to say instead of rainbows. Gyros would work.
Eli D: No, rainbows was the correct thing to say. Pumpkins, though. Pumpkins aren’t even that happy.
Dan H: Kitchens don’t strike me as that happy either. Not sad, per say, but not exactly happy.
