Sooo..

I think this is the very last song we recorded. I got divorced, moved to St Kilda, then eventually moved to Sydney (Newtown) for about a year and a half. Gary got sick when I moved back to Melbourne and told me he had cancer that December. It was horrible.

Music recorded at my house, vocals recorded at Gary's. . Took fuck all time to get happening. Gary always said it's hard to get programmed hi hats to sound authentic,so I took that as a challenge. During the vocals, you'll hear lots of hi hat shit going on, ha ha..16th notes, maybe 32's, I dunno. I played bass.

This is actually a cover of a Boogers of Death song. So I had my friend Nate come in and do lead vocals. He just wrote a fuckload of dirty names on a piece of paper, ha ha..like 5 minutes before we recorded his vocals. Gary, Nate and myself are all doing the gang vocals. It's the only time Gary was ever vocally on tape. He'd be the one with the aussie accent. It's in there.

The lyrics are about a boss I had at Triple M radio. I could never tell if he was a good guy or a backstabber. Being the paranoid fucker I am I took him for a bad guy. After being diagnosed with PTSD ( and undergoing a bit of therapy), through the years I've reflected and realized that he wasn't a jerk, I'm actually sorry I wrote this song. So Simon? I'm sorry. But the tune is pretty rockin. What can I say? I'm fueled anger. If you piss me off, I will work it into a song.

Last part is a hats off to Ministry.

4 rhythm tracks done on Belman 7 string.

lyrics

Fuck you asshole

Simple stupid little man
You're so full of crap
Put your face in front of mine
And you'll receive bitch slap

Simon you're an asshole
You can drink my poo
Simon you're an asshole
You can eat my poo

Fuck you asshole
Simon you're a motherfuckin' asshole

Flatstick Melbourne, Australia

Flatstick was originally a two man project between Melbourne musicians, John Sanders (AKA: Doug Steele) and Gary McKay (R.I.P.). The sound created by the two is best described as Faith No More meets Strapping Young Lad meets Frank Zappa meets Meshuggah meets Pantera meets Mr. Bungle meets Korn, and a dash of jazz (and a slice of electronic dance). ... more
