I think it's kind of stupid in general when people say stuff like, "Oh, they were high when they wrote this."

You have no idea what their mental state was when they wrote this. I'm not sure if you've seen their interviews, but they're just really creative/crazy pretty much all the time.

And look, don't get me wrong-- I know they do/have done a lot of drugs, and they very well may have written this song while high. I just think it really cheapens the song to say, just because it's a bizarre song, "Oh, they were definitely high when they wrote this."

You were totally high when you wrote this.

i hate when people are like "get stoned and listen to this, it's awesome blah blah blah." just relax, let your mind go, and listen to it. it's way cool. just because it might have been written when they were high doesn't mean you have to be high to listen to it.

Yeah, why do people feel they HAVE to be high to open their mind and chill? I guess they don't have enough control to let go of it.

Ok prepare for the learning.

An earlier demo of this song was called Portia Sloan, named after an illustrator who drew for science journals. One of her illustrations (of the Microraptor Gui) was somewhat iconic in the 90s. You can see the picture here: http://www.skewsme.com/images/microraptor2b_c.jpg

If you didn't look, it's clearly a picture of a four winged dinosaur.

I'm not a huge fan of their first album, it's just random crap like this.
