brand new song. (i fucking hate vegemite.)

hola!

i just left melbourne for adelaide, where i’m holing myself up in an incredible studio.
will tell all soon.
the melbourne show (and mebourne in general) was just fucking transcendent. unbelievable.

for now…this is a clip of a song i wrote the NIGHT BEFORE the show.

i got the idea for it on a leafy twilight cab-ride home at around 5pm, after doing a piece of radio promo for a station called triple j.
don’t ask me where it came from, my brain just goes places. the melody and lyrics hit me all at once, i wrote the first verse on my iphone, and finished writing the rest before dinner.

(by the way, the part about being force-fed by the babysitter = FACT).

love, AFP

p.s. if you don’t know what Vegemite is…it’s…just….foul. it’s a black, pasty, salty, yeast-based sandwich spread to which australians have an uncanny attachments.
it was a depression-era brainstorm, since someone figured they could do SOMETHING with the waste-product of beer factories. uccch.

p.p.s. if you’d like to join the #VegemiteWars currently afoot on twitter, do so.
neil just admitted to owning (no shit) TWENTY-ONE jars of marmite. for REAL. it may be over.
