Have you ever felt like it was YOU who were the problem? If you haven't, then you're missing out on one of the purest forms of self loathing that humanity has to offer. This is dedicated to the fine soul who actually did find something lovable…
I hope Brian (one of us Proods) will forgive me for posting this before we could get together to work on it further. He first played it for me a few months ago and I've been obsessively tweaking it every chance I could get.
I like to imagine…

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.

"I Won't Kiss You Goodbye" may sound like another crybaby break-up song, but we wrote it after I got fired/quit from a career I'd spent too many years at. It's fun listening to the words with that in mind.
cool, the production has a kind of distant haziness that it drifts in and out of of, it's soothing but also a bit melancholy.
ha, did someone make a flub @ 3:27? "ssssshhiii*"
Another groovy tack from the Proods. Chad the Bad is the name of a terrible monster movie we shot back in ourMass Art days. It's been kicking around for too many years, so we're finally putting it out there, hoping you enjoy it more than my fellow…

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.

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…
It's been a while...
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.

First totally self-indulgent solo work in ages. Started as something to prove I can still make time while I'm in nursing school, and turned into one of the best things I've done in years.
What happened to the colors of expression in the arts? I miss the 60's and 70's. Enough said.
Notes from my rock and roll music theory class...
Find a riff and milk it! Check .
Find a four chord bed of lettuce to put that wonderful salad…
This is a beautiful emotional song telling the sad story of the singer. It describes the emotions of the singer in a precise way.

I just might be hiding behind your bedroom door
you might find me lying under your bed, down on the floor
You swear you hear the creekin' coming up the stairs
you got your eye on the peep-hole and nobody's there…
This short thing is the earliest guitar composition of mine that I can still remember how to play.
Original composition date unknown, although I'm pretty sure I played this at the old house we used to live in - so composition must have taken…
I really enjoyed listening to your latest batch of music. It brought to to places I wasn't expecting on a work day...melancholy places of my youth. Thank you for that.
This one is still in progress, Jon the guitarist sent me a riff which i stuck together to get a kinda structure...so this is take 1....
I'm gonna kill a Mockingbird
That mockingbird mocks me with your name
I'm still not over you and it's causing…
I really dig the beat poet groove of this tune ...bongos? Far out baby!!! The audio at the end nearly tore me to pieces! If you cats are firin' up the grill, I wanna be there man.

Well . . my last (latest) recording. I know it's self indulgent, but I wanted to end my Instrumental Observation recordings with something moving !? I had already sold my bass, so I used a bass/synth patch for the low end and tried to utilize…
Sometimes I hear something so good on this site that it makes me wonder if it's original work...apart from being a cover from a video game that is. This is a terrific rendition of this tune...a bunch of fun.
Comments on The Proods's stuff
It’s like finding the surprising soft side of some scruffy old characters
Sounds like you guys are having fun! Good song, and yes it does remind me a little of the Monkees.
Your songs have that warm 70's slide surfer rock feeling to it! Excellent!
Hi guys! Love the song, but it makes me wish you’d write one about ME!- Pam
I expect they didn't have to look very far! Another fabulous timeless anthem, Proods.
lol, I missed this one the first time around.
cool, the production has a kind of distant haziness that it drifts in and out of of, it's soothing but also a bit melancholy. ha, did someone make a flub @ 3:27? "ssssshhiii*"
Two new favs, you guys are killin it. Keep it up.
Hi JC, Fun tune. Do you still have a copy of the movie?

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.

I like this...I wish it was longer. A 10 minute version would hit the spot.
Bravo...I love the bass on this track. Amazing lyrics.
I like this very much...it reminds me of 80's alternative music that I still really dig.
Another download...60's and 70's were the ACME! You nailed it!
I had to download it to dig it, but it was well worth it. VERY COOL track!
You're on your way!
Wunderbar
Ha Ha! AWESOME!
I had to listen twice! Bitchin'.
I really enjoyed listening to your latest batch of music. It brought to to places I wasn't expecting on a work day...melancholy places of my youth. Thank you for that.
Excellent! You guys are well on your way to filling all of the gaps left by the classic rock gods.
I like the vibe of this track.

Cool vibe...
I love LOVE this.
Brilliant!
I like this song very much...I can't wait to listen to the rest of your tracks!
I'm a fan!
Last recording? I hope you mean "most recent" recording.
