"2 Bit Blues (Kid Koala says)This is one of the snappier numbers on the record. I've been traveling around and rocking parties and clubs and dance floors and, I've been accused of putting out the most down-tempo records in this genre. Being in that environment of party music and club music, loud decibels and such, whenever I actually have time to myself, whether it's on a plane or a train or when we're driving in a car, I opt for slower, quieter music. It sort of balances out the adrenaline. There's something about that 6/8 tempo and the sway of the blues, it kind of calms me and helps me recalibrate so that when I actually do go onstage I can try to throw it out again.That being said, "2 Bit Blues" is the party number, so if anyone expects anything more up-tempo than that, they're going to be thoroughly disappointed. I kind of have this fascination with the shuffle beat. This dates back to, I would say, 1993, the first time I saw Maceo Parker perform. And, you know, you take a kid who's just outta high school, like super into scratching; and a guitar player in this band I was playing with said, "Okay, I'm going to take you to this show tonight and you're going to lose your mind. This is Maceo Parker, he played with James Brown." I went in with my skepticism in terms of, okay, this guy must be pushing 60 right now, what am I going to learn from this show? And I remember just being floored from the first beat. These songs that they were playing — some of them would last 10, 15 minutes, something like that. But one, I remember, they kind of kicked off this shuffle, this track by James Brown called "Doing It To Death", which is essentially just a shuffle. And at one point I think the chord change is, "Okay! We're going to modulate the beat here" and then the whole band is just compin' on this one-bar riff and there's something so infectious, and so much relief at that show. I was standing next to this raver kid on my left and this 55-year-old woman on my right, you know, this is the most motley crew group of people ever. It was literally like a spiritual, musical experience. Like, I want to do that! How did that happen? Something about that groove and that shuffle beat and the way they just kind of took their time to build it up. The whole place was dancing, including the wallflowers. Purely captivating with just a simple kind of rhythm and performance: "2 Bit Blues" is kind of my feeble attempt to do that.
