It has been suggested that the percussive clicking noise heard throughout Kid For Today is the sound of a slide projector. [DC]
The carousel's advancement is similarly paced to the percussion in Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There" from Free Willy, perhaps the motiv being carousel->carnival->aquatic amusement park.
"Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles includes a drum fill featuring a distinctive tambourine at 0:57; this seems to be the source of the drum loop beginning at 3:00 in Kid for Today (as well as one of the drum loops in Sequoia). The sample is slowed down slightly and only uses the left channel. [1]
Notes
It appears this track was originally intended for an LP on Skam. An unfinished (and at that time, untitled) version of this track appeared as a bonus track on a one-off BoC Maxima cassette given as a present to the girl who appears on the Geogaddi cover.[2]
