So this is an interesting one because it is an early example of crowd funding, or as he calls it "patronage pop". He needed to pay some large legal bills following a lawsuit about a track on his previous album so he asked 30 fans to each pay $1000 to have a song written to order about them. Most of the songs are biographical portraits incorporating his trademark witty wordplay, and most of them are catchy pop songs (some are obviously based on other well-known songs). One song is a marriage proposal. Some also include some wider cultural analysis, for example 'Miles Franklin' is about issues of loneliness and 'Steven Zeeland' an argument in favour of homosexuals in the armed forces.
The musical highlight is probably 'Tinnitus' a wild romp about someone who was an extra in a kilts and swords movie shot in Scotland. It does go on a bit and the songs all tend to merge into each other.
At the end of the album are 8 further tracks contributed by fans who responded to a karaoke competition - they sang over the instrumental tracks at the end of his previous album.
