Gang Vocals

One of the better extemporaneous ideas (as opposed to those that had been plotted for months and years beforehand) was to have a crowd of folks shouting the "take that letter" lines in "The Boyfriend Box." Someone said "it'll sound like Rancid," but it didn't actually, much. More like a Phil Spector-y, Shangri-Las-y type of thing. And it's almost as though we spontaneously, collectively affected a kind of fake New Jersey accent as well. How's that for genuine faux authenticity?

That's me, Ted, Bobby, and my dear friend Jen (who videotaped a sizeable chunk of the recording sessions as part of her still-in-progress ten-years-running documentary about my pretend career-- we may post a bit of that at some point.)
