I mean, it’s amazing, because he never used it except to like, listen to records and hang out most of the time, but Chris had the most beautiful recording studio in his house. It was just like, a work of art. He had all of these completely amazing guitars hanging up on the wall and like, this beautiful wood paneling all over the place, and all of this old-school, super-high-quality equipment. And he was telling me when I got there that like, only two or three days out of every year, he’d find himself coming down there and recording stuff. Sometimes it’d be full songs, and like, sometimes it’d just be little scraps. And like, he wouldn’t really show them to anybody—he’d just record them and put them on a hard drive and forget about them until the next year when he’d come down and record some more—but he’d been doing that basically every year since he stopped putting out records. And I heard that, and I was just like: Chris, we’re gonna listen to that shit right now. And Chris was just like: Eh, I don’t know. I don’t know. I mean, he was being sort of evasive and private about the whole thing, and I was just, like, putting my foot down, like: No, come on, man, you’ve gotta play me some of this shit. I need to hear it. And so he shuffled over to the laptop he had in there, and he like, hooked it up to the speakers, and he started picking files at random. They didn’t even have titles or anything—they just had dates—and he was flicking through them like they were nothing special at all—just like he was watching YouTube videos or something—and some of them were like, thirty seconds long and some of them were like twenty minutes long, and in the middle of one of the songs he was playing for me, I just started crying. Like legit not just tearing up a little bit, but like, actual, literal sobbing. And Chris stopped the track and asked me if I was okay, and I was just like: Yes. Yes. Keep playing it. And so that’s the song that eventually became “Upright Citizen.” He took down one of the guitars from the wall and started playing the melody, and I just started to riff a little bit and harmonize with it a little bit and sing some words, and after a few hours of us tinkering around, I was like: I think we need to get Trick on this. And Chris just laughed like: You’re crazy, man. But I could tell at that point that he was really beginning to trust my sensibility, and so he let me call Trick over, and when Trick came in and heard what we had been doing, he was like: Oh my fucking God. I mean, Trick just went nuts. First of all, like, he had never even seen Chris’s studio—in all their years of knowing each other, he had never been invited in—but then, like, when he heard what we were working on, it was just like, this volcano of creativity just got released from him, and he started going crazy in the booth.
