Nixon helped me write this

"There aren't really any instruments in this track at all... I used the busy signal, and some other phone operator sounds, I used feedback from different Hz frequencies and some toned down pulsing. I cut and pasted the clips that repeat, and some volume and effect work on the actual clip. I figured since it is a shortwave clip that the track is based around, anything too clean or processed just wouldn't fit all that well. I wanted to keep the sounds behind the speech a little more like switching through radio waves trying to find the footage. I figured the Nixon resignation was a great clip to use considering our opinions of our former and our present presidents we have had. I am personally not one to concern myself with any of that stuff...but I do feel like there are some very strong opinions being based one way or the other...this is another time where scandal and rumors are running around all over and everyone is on point with their opinions being heard one way or the other."
