Probably Should Bring the Sugar

My long-time friend-in-real-life and fellow WeaklyBeats-er cfurrow was here in town recently for work and we managed to meet up to hang out and do a little collaborating. We started the day off making some sweet cello loops. You can hear some of that in cfurrow's track for last week here: https://weeklybeats.com/cfurrow/music/cosmic-cello-cheat-codes
Later in the day we attempted another track, which is what you're hearing here. This time I served more of a producer role and cfurrow performed most of the instruments, although I added a little bit of bass and synth after the fact. We had drank a few beers by this point and were definitely feeling a bit more loose. We started out with some grungy electric guitar but then threw a curve ball into the vibe by adding some different synth sounds. He started out with one sound and did some jamming and then later I picked out a couple more sounds and had him do some more jamming.
We also called up our good friend and singer extraordinaire Bobby Bergland and had him make a little vocal cameo over the phone. I've got to give Bobby some major props because we just played him what we had over the phone so he could hear it and then I recorded him singing through the phone to absolutely no musical accompaniment, since I didn't want to pick that up in the microphone or create some sort of ungodly feedback. I don't think I could sound half as good under the circumstances.
I did a little bit of chopping stuff up and moving stuff around, but I wanted to maintain some of the loose good-time party vibes. To that end I also included some background chatter where we were talking while the tape was still rolling.
