I hope I don't meet Chad the Bad in a dark alley anytime, even though he sounds like a pal in the end... Love that guitar jam! So fun to hear new music from the wonderful Proods! Hope you all are well.
This song is based on the account of a friend, who had a drunken fling with a stranger at a party and regretted it BEFORE she sobered up. The title is a reference to the 1986 movie River's Edge, and the character played by Danyi Deats.
lyrics…
Heyyyy, welcome back. The sound is bright and delightful as always. I gotta say, the retro pop is apparent but never sounds like it's languishing in the past. It's a bubbly optimism that is sorely missing in garage rock.
She wakes across the ocean, and sighs when she discovers...the man who's sleeping with her looks like her last two lovers. No one wants to be a banana head.
This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…

This song was recorded with another verse, it ties the song together nicely but who the heck wants to listen to a 5 minute song about depressing stuff? We're really looking forward to feedback from those of you who've like…
The Proods have too many unfinished songs in the hopper...so much going on, but this is something we worked on years ago. I remixed it and finally think it might be passable.

Two Beers Away From Calling You
Another ten o'clock, same beer, same bar.
Same old thoughts of calling you.
We burned that bridge so many times,
crossing it's the last thing I should do.
Your number's still here in my phone,
But I know theres…
Reg just loves watching old films and the one he watched last broke his heart and it was all based non a lie ....
That Poor Mockingbird
they killed the mockingbird
That jury of twelve
they took away the truth to that…
Ok. More covers. This song has always meant something to me. Probably the same thing it meant to David.
Vocal was recorded while playing the piano so it's a bit iffy.
Here's my "super professional studio" for interest and posterity…
Franky's boat is too small for the by's
You could maybe hold a lobster pot
Or a seal for flipper pie
We need to bring in more than this and I'm not gonna lie
Franky's boat is too small for the by's
I'm headed to St. John's
To the teller…
Track four of my RPM 2026 project.
This one is definitely the most sprawling and varied of the compositions, with the highest instrument count. I wanted to tell the story of a road trip journey to get out into nature among the fall colors, which…
Reg went to the cinema last night to see Baz Lurmans Epic and woke up this morning beleaving he was Elvis ....someones got to tell him he's not..... he's started sowing beads onto his boiler-suit and will eat nothing but peanut butter and bacon…
I said there would be four tracks, and now there are. I decided to use everything that I hadn't already used this year, including my old Roland drum machine, bass ukulele, slide guitar, guiro, bongos, and of course my trusty vibraslap.
I'm a madman roaring down this rain-slicked road
Top down, laughing, rain slaps like the hand of God
Left you barefoot, summer-haired, watching me go
Like a beautiful flower I should've picked
a long, long time ago
Pre-Chorus:
You were…
Okay to laugh here, music is supposed to be fun, right? My attempt at writing a jug band style song. Yup, I used a dang kazoo:-/ And some whistling :-) Kind of sounds like a 'chicken' clucking away in this... hmmm. Maybe an ear worm just…
An autobiographical song about my eating habits.

Grab a snack food out of the bag and eat one
Grab another one out of the bag and eat one
Finding out it’s kinda hard to just eat one
Serving size is two…

Hi JC, Fun tune. Do you still have a copy of the movie?
I hope I don't meet Chad the Bad in a dark alley anytime, even though he sounds like a pal in the end... Love that guitar jam! So fun to hear new music from the wonderful Proods! Hope you all are well.

Another good'n. I thought I commented on this before, guess not! Very tight performance, cool bass line and lovely vocals.
Good one, I really like the mix, especially the drums and electric. Melty and retro crunchy!
What a darkly inspiring song! Your ability to combine whimsy and tragic imagery is wonderful!
love it. getting that Beatles roll around..
Capturing the early 60's English beat in their own way! The Proods !
I love it. Good energy.
*applause* The Awesome Proods.
yes, great title and a true Proods tune. Listen to that wonderful reverb sparkling layer of guitar goodness.
This is fun, it's kinda 70's Ray Davies-y... which of course I'm a sucker for.
Been too long man, had to revisit to get some Proods in.
Like the song guys, reminiscent of a 60s sound to me. nice to hear from you again.
Glad to see you're back at it! I enjoy the dreamy flow of it, the flanged/trem guitar is nice and robust.
rockin! now im going around humming this with people looking at me like im crazy.
Hey Joe! Great song. I recognize who it’s about....he would have loved this! Email me a copy of the long version, please!
Well done gang...can't wait to hear the 5 minute version.
Nice fresh sound. I love the tremolo. Been a long time, it's fun to hear a new one.
Love the minor melody lines that sneak up and surprise you... Missed hearing your lovely voices Proods! Another great one!

Ouch! Well, I guess that's how Tom started out.
Damn, man...read the title and couldn't wait to hear this one. I was NOT disappointed.
Great movie, great song.
Live jam? Awesome.
Woo...great groove. What the world needs now is MORE groove!
Genius.
Great vocal
Wow...reminds me of Toasted Heretic, from a long time ago. I'm hooked.
I'm gonna have to come back to give all of your tracks my full attention...so much music, so little time!
Ha! Well, this is a nice treat...and you reminded me of my dad, so extra kudos on that opening.
Ooh...that guitar has a great sound.
Best cover I've EVER heard! I get chills every time.
Ooh...such a bright sounding track!
Ooh...the harmonica was a nice surprise.
Amazing lyrics. Beautiful.
I'm gonna have to come back to give these another go-round.
😂 Wahooo!!!
goddam....perfect, as usual.
Yes! This is what it's all about!
Very cool.
