Contents
I was thinking of successful names so I jumped on the net and actually googled successful names and came up with James and Recard. So I changed James to Jimmy and used Recard as the last name. I think a name does a lot for a character and where you go in life. And it was a positive track on the record because a lot of my stuff kind of feeds from negative ideas.
The single reached #1 on the AIR Charts and #10 in Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2008. The single also broke into the top 100 in the ARIA Charts reaching #92.
