Recorded at the Fort Hazel house while residents were away for a weekend sometime in 2004 maybe? It was the same time that I recorded "The Best Bastards" and "The Rebuilt" also featured on this album.
The title, though cumbersome, refers to a t-shirt that I had made by painting my friend's name on the front. I think that he thought I was disingenuous when I was honestly trying to display my admiration for him as a human being. Many of his other friends would see me wearing the shirt and we'd talk about how great our mutual friend was. It was great fun and I highly recommend it.
My fan-shirt read "Tim Harris" who played drums on this recording of a previously untitled track.
