Miiiiister Rabbit...

There are certain things that people were never meant to see. Like your diary. Or that skanky dream you have at 3 AM when you drop into REM sleep, or a Protools session you made by yourself when you were overtired AT 3 am...

A couple of turns of the earth ago, we were asked by the North West Company to put together a stupid radio spot for their board to listen to at an upcoming marketing meeting to give them an idea of goofy new directions they could take their radio spots in. We were pretty busy at the time, and I was spending the night at the studio finishing up some projects when, lo and behold, inspiration hit me at about 3 AM... I had the perfect Easter spot for the North West Company (or so I thought)! Before I forgot (or wised up!) I set up a microphone, set a ProTools session a running, walked into the voice booth and recorded all the parts for the spot myself.

The next morning, before I could come to my senses enough to realize the travesty I had created, Olaf found the recording session and laughed so hard he pissed himself. He then made a little playback featuring the highlights of my performance. In self-deprecating good humour I have posted it HERE. And yes, those footsteps you hear ARE me walking in and out of the voice booth in between takes...

What the Hell is that...???? I want to kill Miiiiister Rabbit - slowly and painfully. I wouldn't buy #*&@ if I heard that on the radio. Stick to sitting behind a desk. It almost makes me as angry as Olafs socks...but, not quite.
