Unbelievable (adj): That which cannot be believed due to its non-believability
Example: The fact that Nispy has released their 10 year album is so unbelievable that I don't even believe it.
It's been quite a crazy thing. Looking back to Day of the Moron is like a strange dream. The other night I had a stranger dream where the machines rose up against us, except the machines in this case were like electronic toys that slowly hobbled towards you with no purpose and eReader books that rebelled by flashing "TITS TITS TITS TITS" on their screens. Not so strange a dream as that, but still a strange dream. So much has happened between then and now that it's just silly.
But here we are. It's 2010 and I don't know what to think about it. I don't know the date of the first song we wrote that ended up on the album. I don't even know the year. These days I'd just look it up in Gmail, but the beginnings of this album predate Gmail. It's sort of like pre-recorded history. One day I'll find a way to load all my old Eudora mail into a database or something and look through it. Probably there are some memories there. It will be like opening up the Ark in that movie with that guy where the wax Nazis melted when they opened the thing full of ghosts. Except it will be full of 10 year old Windows 2000 viruses titled FREEPRON.SCR instead.
So what was the hold up? Why did this take so long? What on the inside of the hell? Why am I asking questions to an HTML editor? Well, it's complicated. Let's just say "displatternate". Actually, let's not.
At some point in that time period Yosh was located and managed to record some of the bassiness required. Since Pierre was busy, and Yosh and I were itching to record, we decided to record our own album, the Pierre tribute album, Gettin' Frutty. It was my hope it would annoy Pierre so much he would retaliate, but no such luck. I think at this point ever finishing the album became something of a joke. All this technology enabled us to record across the globe, but no digital unguent could sooth the fiery rash of time and space.
So: A Unilateral Oops. I declared I was going to release the best versions of the demos and finalish test mixes we had and be done with it. Then, something amazing happened: That fiery rash became enflamed. The fire burned deeply on Pierre's bottom and he knew what had to be done. He knew the only cure for the ailment was the semi-solid paste of hard work spread on the affected area of our lives.
So I am extremely pleased and proud to present our best sounding album of all time, and some of the greatest tunes we've ever written. And when you listen, think what a rare and odd time we live in. Somewhere between the technological explosion and the environmental fallout of a lonely planet, the Universe afforded us this precious gift of The Nizbees realizing their little dream. So dream this dream with us, won't you?
