about
You know those days where nothing seems to go to plan? It might not be your fault. Maybe it's your brain? Maybe it's your phone? Maybe it's the AI supercomputer masterminds behind your phone? Or maybe it’s just bad timing.
A funked-out, Bootsy-esque tune all about Formidable Vegetable frontman Charlie Mgee’s neuro-diverse way of going about things (which sometimes leads to getting right-timing wrong!)

lyrics
I’m good at getting bad timing right
I’m good at getting bad timing right
Alright at getting good timing wrong
I’m good at getting bad timing right
Woah, yeah. Bad timing
Well, I keep missing trains and buses
Sometimes I even miss the point
My friends all keep on making fusses
But I don’t mean to disappoint
I’ve just… I’ve just got… Bad timing
I said I’m good at getting bad timing right
Not bad at getting wrong timing good
I’m alright at timing good gettin’ bad
Time bad I’m good right wrong ’n get
I never stop to look and listen
I just don’t know what’s going on
Keep tripping up on stuff I’m missing
I’m so tired of getting good timing wrong
Yeah.. just… got… Bad… Ti… ming
I’m good at getting bad timing right
Alright at getting good timing wrong
I’m good at getting bad timing right
Woah, yeah. Bad timing
Well, I keep missing trains and buses
Sometimes I even miss the point
My friends all keep on making fusses
But I don’t mean to disappoint
I’ve just… I’ve just got… Bad timing
I said I’m good at getting bad timing right
Not bad at getting wrong timing good
I’m alright at timing good gettin’ bad
Time bad I’m good right wrong ’n get
I never stop to look and listen
I just don’t know what’s going on
Keep tripping up on stuff I’m missing
I’m so tired of getting good timing wrong
Yeah.. just… got… Bad… Ti… ming

omg, this is awesome! i have been a huge tipper fan a long time, albums like broken soul jamboree & forward escape are rare electronic masterpieces. i have listen to this more than 100 times and i can detect always more layers...so ful of details in the background...a class of it's own, music and production are not from this world!

Wedding modern electronic beats to 1930's musical styles like jazz and big band, this Belgian band put a unique spin on nostalgic escapism.
