Well, here's The Whole Story, as it were:

I sat up for absolutely HOURS on Friday night slaving over a hot tape
deck putting together an incredible collage of percussion and Kate
samples.  I got together with Joe on Saturday, and we brought the tape
to Larry DeLuca, who helped us add some synth chords to flesh it out.
Then I  showed up REAL early at Joe's place on Sunday, and we hooked
up about 600 digital sound effect boxes in line with Joe's guitar, a
microphone into which I would sing, and my bass.  We rehearsed this a
whole bunch (at least twice I think) and then sat down to watch tons
of great Kate vids courtesy of IED (thanks Andrew, we owe you!!).  So,
what's the capper?  Hardly anyone shows up to this shindig!!  Last
year (and the year before) we had a great turnout, but where was
everybody this year, eh?  So anyways, the long and the short is, the
vital audience participation ingredient is sorely missing, but if you
really really want it, I can send you a mix of the four-track backing
tape which features tons of percussion over the regular RutH loop,
plus me singing the lyrics through a vocoder which pushes my voice up
into the chipmunk range, and a couple of gratuitous samples on top.

Maybe I shoulda flown out to Santa Cruz and performed it out there...
