Dancing with Retards in Outer Space

from Born Distorted by Lxnnnie

/

about

This experiment/song was was recorded around 2001 on a cassette 4-track recorder then dubbed down to a cassette along with a few other songs and beats. Lxnnnie then put the cassette in his pocket and went to his cousin's birthday party with the intention of showing him the new beats. It was the Summer, and so hot that Lxnnnie quickly forgot about the cassette in his pocket when he saw his cousin's nice underground pool. He jumped in and swam around for a while, then realized the tape was still in his pocket and jumped out and tried to dry it off as well as he could. Needless to say it was soaked. He kept the tape anyway. And good thing he did. Because the master tape ended up getting lost or stolen at some point. Years later, at the time of compiling this album in 2007, the old once soaked cassette was unearthed and to Lxnnnie's surprise, actually worked, and didn't sound that bad either, considering. And that's the story of Dancing with Retards in Outer Space. Maybe the song should have been titled Retards Swimming with Cassettes in their Pockets.
