The strangest thing is that actual recording with actual musicians takes... Hours, probably. There are usually just a few band sessions and a lot of songs are recorded in a single take, and the first and the only take makes it to the record. So it naturally raises a lot of questions about what exactly takes so long. But MK is a "Slow Learner".
I'm 100% sure all the latest news in the world inspired MK to write a lot more, and that's what news is all about I think.
