Hey everyone, here's a cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers track "Road Trippin'".
This was a relatively late addition to the track listing, but I really love how it turned out, in no small part thanks to the people who helped with the other instruments in the track. I could have done the guitar and bass separately, but I wanted to try and do the basic guitar/bass track live with someone else playing the bass, so I got my friend Nick to help out with that. It's also the only one of all of these recordings where I did the recording and comping of the basic tracks (without mellotron and strings) on the same day in Pro Tools, rather than taking the separate multitracks home and comping them there.
I also want to thank @ChromaticApparatus and @optimizasean for their help with the strings on this track (and on "Evil Woman"), the song wouldn't be the same without the strings.
