Thanks Bryan. We DEFINITELY were going for a Revolver thing with
Satellite. I'd just picked up some old 'Beatle-like' microphones off
Ebay, and we used them exclusively on that track.. it helped give it
the totally retro thing we were looking for.

I think the thing i'm most happy about the Supahip record, is when
Mark and i got together to do it, we decided to really just have fun.
We were actually just doing it for ourselves, so we allowed ourselves
to be as self indulgent as we wanted.. we didn't care if it was
fashionable, or too retro or too derivative. We just wanted to have
some fun. So some songs we consciously went after a sound, or a feel
or a songwriting trick. Why? Just because we could. So while this
album is probably more self indulgent than either off would ever have
seriously made, we like it because of that!!

The videos, BTW, are a new thing we're starting to do at the studio.
The Supahip were essentially guinea pigs, to see if we could actually
do it, and it seemed to work out well. We're going to do a couple more
in the next few weeks, for Tulsa and Something's Gotta Give, and
probably do a little 'making of' interview/featurette which we'll have
available on DVD later on. It's very liberating to be able to do
things yourself!!
