The year we did this tour, I think Patrick and Todd had *just* built the studio that we've now come to know as G2 in Brooklyn. It was a pretty massive undertaking, and though it's a small tracking/control room, it's a sanctuary with a lot of character. I found the time to go there for a long weekend and just write some new ideas. At the end of that I recorded this version of Trip. Beatboxing, shaking a shaker and playing electric guitar through the shittiest amp I could find (which happened to be Dylan's 3 watt practice amp).
I can't remember if this song was assigned to me or I picked it, but I do remember landing in Burlington on a flight from LA to work on Gregory Douglass's album and I had about an hour to kill in the airport. I had listened to the original track on the plane and this treatment just came to me. I still really love the vibe of it, and listening to it now I am struck by a great play on words that never even crossed my mind -- "You were a perfect counterfeit" is actualy "counter - fit" like, opposites attract. I love that about Patrick's work, he's always playing with words and coming up with stuff like that.
