The name of this group came from being a gang of nerds….. In Madagascar there is a species of lemur that gets high from biting the exoskeleton of a group of centipedes. Hence the name…..
In the early 2000s I was running a studio poorly; when I wasn't on the road or playing in one of the many bands I played with. The people that played on this are people that I respect immensely. I was honored to have captured these two songs from that time. There were a lot of people involved with a lot of moving pieces. If I forgot anyone then let me know…
This was recorded at my former home studio in Richardson Tx.
I feel like I've been nothing but a bummer here lately. So I'll give out some happiness for a change. I'm generally happy, believe it or not. I do feel like a realist in spite of all of the doctored photos showing me with aliens and sasquatch. I want that stuff to be true. I don't necessarily think that it is though. I've seen some things I can't explain but those are just things I can't explain. In many thousands of hours spent in the backcountry on three continents and the millions of miles walked, I have never seen bigfoot. But in all honesty, if I could stay hidden I would do it. I know from experience that nature will fight back if threatened. I once had a wild pig chase me onto the top of my suv and wouldn't let me down for quite awhile. Look at me trying to wash my hands of their dirtiness. I planned on murdering this pig. For food, I thought. So I shot it. And it just angered the pig. I can only speculate what happened to the round I fired. I didn't seem to wound it but I did indeed anger it.
I learned a lot of really important lessons that day. Don't hunt an animal that can become aggressive, alone. Make sure you have the shot. Keep extra ammo on your person always. Pigs are smarter than we give them credit for. Pigs are faster than you are on a straight run. You can't muscle your way out of being a dumbass. I'm still trying to do that through my illness.
