We at Tickle Dracula get a lot of questions from our legions of fans. Actually, they aren't usually questions, but commands like "stop touching me" or "give me my money back you assholes," but we do have to respond to the occasional query.
For example, recently we've gotten some questions regarding our formidable recording prowess. "How do you manage to pack so much rocknroll awesomeness and comedic dynamite into such a small amount of earspace?" both of our fans asked the other day.
Well, fan(s), it's a long and highly involved process. The secret to a great recording is that everything in the awesomeness chain must be of utmost awesomicity. Should any link be contaminated with the slightest amount of lameness, the end product could end up being merely extraordinary. And that's not how we roll, people.
That's why we only use the freshest farm-raised jokes on our records. And why, before every Tickle Dracula sesh (that's a session for you non rock-biz nerds), Dan eats not one but TWO bowls of wheaties. (At the left you can see Dan recording his version of "We Are the World," soon to be released on "Tickle Dracula: The South 5th Seshes.") His pristine vocals then pass through our custom pop-filter (made out of stolen panties) directly into a big snarl of wires that are eventually fed into our patented Dracutron 2000. As the photo on the right shows, the rest of us basically sit around drinking 40s while Dan does all the work.
Judging from the photo below, you're probably thinking to yourself, "That looks like a simple setup. Any monkey could do that." Well, screw you, it takes a highly trained monkey to produce a TD recording. Below, I will attempt to explain in layman's terms the most important part of the awesomeness chain, the Dracutron 2000.


As you can see, the raw bits are fed into the rocknroll injector, which digitally encodes "w/ cock out" to the incoming "rock out" stream. From there, the humor amplifier increases the humor to near gut-busting levels. However, it is then fed into the comedy compressor to prevent excessive panty dampening for our female listeners (should we ever have any). Next, the signal is capacitively coupled via the flux capacitors into the discombobulator, and then into the rebobulator. The discombobulated rebobulation then passes through our proprietary anti-suck filter, which removes any trace suckiness, and our "Back to the Future Afterburner" circuit blasts any residual musical shittiness back to the early 1980's.
Thence, the signal passes into the Dracutron central processor core for final processing and is then burned to disc. In fact, ever since the Dracutron 2000 became self-aware in September of last year, we've noticed a 254 percent increase in the awesomeness of our recordings. The downside is that we have to continually feed it high grade dilithium crystals or it says it will explode the chips it implanted in our skulls. Also, because we couldn't afford XP and ran the damn thing on Windows 2000, it's susceptible to hackers and spammers, which means it makes us spend a large part of our income on penis enlargement pills and Nigerian phishing scams. The pills don't seem to be doing much, but hopefully I'll be getting a large check for $47 million from Mr. John Addabadibas at the Nigerian National Bank of Nigeria soon so I can upgrade the Dracutron to Windows XP, which Bill Gates assures me is impervious to attack.
