Friends...an offering from the not-real album "Dr. Pepsi's Death Cult Glee Club". The song was inspired by t.v. commercials featuring actor William Devane, who has spent the last few years trying to convince Americans to buy gold.

yeah... buy gold! and silver! I remember those commercials..
all too well... ah the days of good ole TV...
this is a really good recording.. The vocals really work against those great guitar sounds.
a very good mix for this style... seems perfect to me.
Holy sheets this one is cool. That swingy guitar rhythm and awesome vocals all around. It almost felt like a drum was going to roll in the last few seconds and join the fade out... probably just felt that way when a drummer is writing the song. :D Really enjoyed this.
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…
my life is always better with a song by "The Proods".... I would love to be in a bar watching people while you sing this... especially if the lyrics were up on all the TVs and people were forced to see them...
this is why local recordings cannot be beat by commercial stuff
-We’re Full Blooded USAnaian-
Lyrics…
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
You come from Usa
You come from Usa
You…
We haven't been this excited about a track in a while.
Yeah, we're a little bit angst-y I'm afraid...musically anyway.\A special hello to our Alonetone friends from the grand production days...so glad to see y'all are still making music!
I typed a long comment... and then it changed to the next song and the comment was gone... whoops...
this is legit... I like the music from the era this reps.. I enjoyed seeing your jam room/recording space. Nice mix and I really like that bass at the end... that single note just hits so well.
Okay Man
I thought that I told you
Carrying the weight can be tough
But maybe I was sleeping,
You're a hero wee toro
Gotta plan to handle it all
But maybe you can listen.
Big Man, you don't need nobody else
Amen, you'll just put it…
way cool... I like the 60s feel to this... the drums are so perfect for this style too...
even the way they sound.
the lyrics are old school with a bit more modern flair... back in those days you might get beat up or beat someone up and there was no law suit.. yah just got up and lived on.
nice guitar work and vocals too
Another great tune from good ol' Brian.
Original guitarist Keith is back to sprinkle a little magic on this song, upping the quality to levels that go beyond great...well past my own usual half-assed efforts. It won't be long before they kick…
True story…
It’s sad when the good ones die
enough to make bad ones cry
But everybody seems to be doing their share.
But then again what about you?
Is there nothing you can do…to show a bunch of strangers you really do care.
(Chorus…
Another one for Steve, our amazing bass player….a BIG Planet of the Apes fan.
I never followed Those movies, but he assures me that he’s kept within the bounds of the narrative.

Hi gang.
The Proods are back....Brian at the helm this time.
Our methodology is thus....one of the 4 of us introduce a song, and then we'll bang out a finished track in under an hour with as few over-dubs as possible. This one we put some effort…

It’s nice having our original lead guitarist back for a visit….special thank-you to Keith for his work on Matt’s song.
Lyrics…..
Hey you, little man inside a choo-choo
You do it differently than I do.
Hey man, I hear you’re on a big-plan…
The last couple of years have been soaked in sadness, numbness and loss, and it's not something I've tried to hide, even when making music. But I've come to realize that it's my own responsibility to lay forth the effort to find new happiness…
I sat on the toilet watching tik Tok and instagram as a man does when he's doing his business.I just hoped the knock on the door wouldn't happen till I'd finished...and a song came to me ...they come to me in some strange places…
Well the rain has come after such a lovely day yesterday so it must be time for a sad song
Heading to a lonely night
Its been nothing but a lonely day and
I’m heading to a lonely night
Where the darkness creeps and the dangers…
Two nights ago I dreamed this sad version of Help!
Today I put it down just to see what it sounds like. One mic, one take, one guitar, and one very dry voice.
Not intending to be self-deprecating, but if anyone with actual musical talent…
That something that summer brings along but we quell it, keep it wrapped up tight inside ....
I've got to ramble on
There must be something the night wants to share with me
It wakes me from my dreams when I’m not unaware
It feels…
"Gilligan's Island" was (pick one): (a) the stupidest sitcom ever produced; or (b) a brilliant piece of absurdist theater.
The correct answer may be (a), but if you chose (b), there is a good argument there. No matter what (and despite the number…
Just a little something to take off the chill of the recent polar vortex here in MN. Thanks for listening!!!
ODE to the LAST LEAF
VERSE 1
This season is ending
Last leaf on the tree
When you’re the last leaf
Let go and be free
Free…
Hi Brett...it's been a while, I'm tuning in exclusively to catch up on your BRILLIANT music! Starting with this one....AMAZING. Different from your music that I'm familiar with.
Hi Brett! Thanks for checking in. I've been away too long, trying my hand at other art. My fellow Prood members are itching to do some more music, so maybe soon.
I haven't logged in in a while, and I'm pretty excited to go through all of your tracks I haven't heard yet, so you're sure to hear from me soon.
Rock on!
So thought provoking. I’ve been finding that many of the musicians I follow are composing wistful soundscapes that invoke an emotional response. It’s like the musical world is trying to work its way through some heavy stuff. Well done, sir!

Oh that jangle….sounds like 1967! I love the vibe!
Love the rock spin and vocals! 10/10
Rocking!
Wow! This is powerful. I’m not a fan of the planet of the apes either but maybe I should go back and watch.
Nice! Give 'em hell, Steve ! I get to hang out in Sudbury and Framingham. Keep 'em coming boys!!!
Geez, you guys do quite well working within your self imposed limits. Nice :-)
Sounds like it ended on the cutting room floor after a tense debate about what goes on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath! And I love that album. Nice!
Excellent
Quite possibly tied with The Simpsons "Dr. Zaius" as the best Planet of the Apes inspired song ever!
love it! ...Happy New year
Comments made by The Proods
Cool….very cool.
Terrific. It’s funny, how impactful and thought-provoking just a few words can be.
Very nicely done.
Very interesting effect.
Amazing…I’ll ALWAYS come back for y’all.
Good tune…not crazy of the backstory. Oh well.
I love it!!!
This is not at ALL what I was expecting.
Nice….y’know tat ol’ Lennon intended this to be slow. Nice rasp.
Sorry about the trouble in ol’ Blighty! Nice that you can get some jam-time in before the whole mess comes crashing down.😃
Wonderful!
You guys are still the best!
I like your passion!
Hi Colleen, I’m happy that you’re still making music!
I told y'all I'd be back to revisit your music.
Hoorah!
This is perfect ambience!
