Artist commentary:

rj lake, Nick Smalley, Luke Benjamins, and Erik Scheele: (album audio commentary)

Jit: —oh, this is the new song, now.
Nick: The new song.
Jit: I still remember this one, it's not even called "Jackknife" on my computer. It's called, uh, what is it... "idea 6 chiptune".
RJ!: Well, it's called "JackKniVeFe" on the actual album.
Jit: Yeah, I'm not sure if you actually end it with "ve" or "fe"— wait, you're not actually calling it that are you?
GFD: He is. RJ!: No, I am. I am.
Jit: No, nonono no, put it as "ve".
RJ!: No, it's uh... I'm gonna write, read this out to you, letter by letter: "J-a-c-k-K-n-i-F-e-V-e".
Jit: But no... [laughter] RJ!: Yes.
GFD: That's what I told him, don't do that.
RJ!: Serious— Jit: No... RJ!: N— Yes. Jit: No! No no, you can't do that. That's not your decision.
RJ!: It isn't my decision? Well, technically, it is my decision, but it isn't my decision. If you really want me to change it, I will. That's what it is right now, though.
GFD: I think he really wants you to change it.
Jit: Yeah... No, it's just because... I was kinda of typing in all caps last night, so you can't really take... I don't think you should try to be taking anything I said last night in the doc very seriously.
Nick: Oh, we're going to. Don't worry.
Jit: I mean, I was like "AHH JIT'S HERE. I'M GONNA GO GET SOME COKE WHILE THIS STUFF UPLOADS, YEAH!"
RJ!: How HIGH were you?
Jit: I was... I'm never high. I'm just...
GFD: And then, you deleted my amazing poetry. You jerk.
Jit: That wasn't poetry. GFD: Yes, it was.
Jit: No, it wasn't. GFD: It was quality poetry.
Jit: Was not. [laughter]
Jit: I'll give you a quality poetry: "Roses are red, violets are blue... GFD is stupid, and so is poo." RJ!: "And fuck you!"
Nick: Woah!
Jit: No, you can't interrupt. RJ!: I co-opted on your god damn poetry into my own.
GFD: Shut... Shut.
Nick: I didn't realize this whole album was 42 minutes long.
GFD: It is. RJ!: You didn't?
GFD: We're not even halfway. Nick: No. I know...
RJ!: The scary thing is that half of it is mine, which means I wrote 20 minutes of chiptunes for this album.
Nick: I wrote two. GFD: The other scary thing is that this call has been going for like, two hours, fifteen minutes before we started recording.
RJ!: Yeeah, that's kinda bad. Jit: Yeeah.
GFD: Half an hour of that us trying to find us a safe failsafe before recording. Jit: Was not, you're just...
RJ!: Which we never did. GFD: No. I really hope Vegas doesn't crash.
Jit: I've sorta got one going, but I'm not sure how it's working.
GFD: What?
Jit: I mean, it's recording the music too. GFD: Oh.
Jit: So I have to have my music kinda low. GFD: Oh.
RJ!: I just realized I accidentally, like subconsciously drew this elf as Sweet Bro. [laughter]
RJ!: Oh, no no, it's Hella Jeff. Hella Jeff's the one with the 8^y mouth. Jit: Keep it! Keeeep it.
RJ!: I'm keeping it, no, don't worry. Jit: Good boy.
