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…
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.

Summertime in Boston, and this little tune is about how it goes by way too fast. Some hilarious chatter between the guys before and after they kick of a pseudo-psychedelic groove that I hope you will enjoy.
Awesome... is this one of your usual singers? The mic has a thinner, spacier country air to it that sounds real nice on her voice. Kinda gives it the illusion of being higher pitched or something, I like it.

very retro in this day and age and touch of the Smiths 'ring around the fountain' in this! Thank you for your recent comments on what I do - doesn't have the beat as yours :)
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…

AAAHHHH!!!!! Love that distinctive Proods sound. I have a dream someday we all get together for the biggest jam. Wouldn't that be fun! Thanks for posting this!

This was an attempt at using the keyboard to make an instrumental invoking looking for something, thinking it had been found, then finally finding it. Or, put another way, this was a way to practice piano.
Hello Mike. Thank you for the tips on miking a kit, tips that I’ll definitely take into consideration.
As far as your inquiry of our influences, we’re three dudes who have all been in bands both together and otherwise since the 1980’s. Our influences are all over the place, but I’d say that pop music from the 1960’s looms large with all of us…me especially. Almost all of my tunes are straight-up attempts at capturing that groovy vibe….anything that the Wrecking Crew worked on, as well as the mop-tops.
I’m a genuine fan of your stuff, so please keep ‘em coming.
wrote this about 10yrs ago ,drums programmed , mixed and mastered , produced , by myself , bass , rthm guitars lead guitar , vocals , backing vocals , by myself , hope you like it , cheers tony cee
Good job. It's so clear.....I've been trying to get that clean drum sound the a machine creates and wonder if it's even WORTH having a human drummer!
We'll keep him around for the sake of friendship.

well Reg just wanted to express himself this afternoon so he got to it .....
Freedom to exspress
If I’ve got something to say
Well I’m going to say it
If i got something I want to do
Then I’m gonna do it
I believe…
This song was a favorite of a dear friend we lost a year ago. It felt like a good song to practice the piano. This was the first try -- not that it was good, but it just kept getting worse.
The vocals sound distant because they are... the microphone…
I'm not a stickler for pristine recordings....in fact, there are albums that I insist sound BETTER on old vinyl.
This recording is soulful, raw and terrific. Well done.
I did several quick jams in October, and this was my favorite of the set. I built up the beat on the Deluge and played my favorite xd brass preset live (C# Minor).
Reg decided to go busking down on the subway....
On the subway
Stood on the subway playing my music
As the world rushes by
Lost in a world of my own making
I don’t get washed away in the tide
Its lonely out here where…
Still having fun learning keyboard, and sticking to a determination to never write another sad song. This is just a practice ditty, but it's part of the angry phase of writing which might last a few decades. All of the noise is from the keyboard…
Nice. It's unique, though at the same time it reminds me of the early seventies post-VU New York scene. You're vocal has a Bowie-esque quality that gives the song a bit of gravity.
I'll be here if you decide to make a longer rendition.
(..also, thank you for the kind words on our silly music.)
Comments on The Proods's stuff
~Hi Proods~
For a moment I was back in 1966. Good work!
Yes! A MONKEES song, for sure.
Interesting sounds. Cool chord shifts.
This is cool, I don't think I've heard it before. It's a bit more like the Rain Parade (Paisley Underground sound) than your other stuff.
Awesome... is this one of your usual singers? The mic has a thinner, spacier country air to it that sounds real nice on her voice. Kinda gives it the illusion of being higher pitched or something, I like it.
Very Velvet Underground. Thanks:) NM
Yep :)
This just sounds like fun.
Like the vibe
Like it
Fun indeed! A great way to start the day with upbeat tunes!

How did I miss this gem? No self loathing necessary for those responsible for this one... I hope the one didn't get away... Great song!
Ooh, a rare melancholy Proods tune... bordering on country western... the electric sounds fantastic. That is some heavenly reverb.
Good song, y'all.

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!

I can almost imagine what X the Astronaut looks like.
😃Nice!

Very nice. Here's hoping you expand on it.....twas a tad brief.
This was not what I was expecting...cool.
Great. Y'all are true Rockers.
Amazing.

Love this.
Definitely makes me wish I had a better keyboard!
Ooh….very nice. I’ll be back to listen to this.
So good!
Wow….soulful.
I prefer THIS vortex to t'other.
You've had TWO Halloween vortices! I don't have anything more to say about it...just wanted to use the word "vortices".
The places that The mind goes....
Ooh. I love it, a lot of stuff going on when I listen with the headphones on!
Super....it's what I'd expect if the other Beatles ended up visiting the Band at Big Pink!
