This song was written about in this blog by Dave a while ago http://davedoesntwriteanythingever.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/fixed-favourite-things-are-for-foolish.html
Shameless cross-promotion strikes again.
Hopefully that explains it better.

part of the most ridiculous recording set-up I have ever run in order to save time while recording a live demo.

There were 2 microphones and a DIed acoustic guitar involved, I may have to go back and re record everything properly again some time in the future.

When We Lived In Fabuland

For anyone who has spent any time at all playing in bands over the years, whether you are getting too old for this or not, you will recognise the situations in this song.

I Think I'm Getting Too Old For This

A terrifying vision of the future, in the style of Tharg's Future Shocks from 2000ad. Or just a collection of words that sounded really nice together and made a song I could really shout along to, could be either.

Post Apocalyptic Agrarian Utopia

A song that used all my skills and comic book knowledge to explain why Batman is not a proper superhero. It might have some kind of metaphorical lyrical content related to inequality, but I may have imagined that.

Anyone Can Be Batman

I think I've invented the Psych-Sea-Shanty. 
This is a song about my big fluffy murdery Cat Kahlo (also known as Bitey) who really does leave headless bodies everywhere.

After spending a great deal of time in a proper studio the other week with my actual band Dagobah (Valvetastic in Exeter, with the inimitable Jo Holroyd) I learned some stuff about mixing. I did my first ever comp-vocal on this track, and built a huge wall of multi-tracked guitars. I also accepted that I am deaf and shit at mastering, and used AAMS for the first time instead. I have lost my prejudices against such a gimmicky thing as it sounds pretty good really.
