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…
Looks like I'm a little bit drunk, but hey, I don't care LOL... It's been a while since I've uploaded something, but no excuse now during lockdown time :-) I still don't have proper recording facilities and I'm forever trying to find my way…
Written for the April 2020 RPM mini-challenge. I hoped for an EP and ended up with a single song. The song is largely recorded on a T25 mic I built for Brian of A Beautiful Scene as a means to test the mic. It's pretty solid if you ask me…
Strange Times is an international collaboration between Roger Harris & myself. Roger initiated the idea with the first verse and chorus along with a chord progression. I added the last verse and took some liberty in producing this version…
Um - yeah. There are a few naughty words - many apologies.
This is a bonus track -- unless I can't think of a legitimate track 10. If so, then this is both the highlight and crowning achievement of the album, and I totally intended it to be.
As a child my mother once climbed up a tree. From there she shouted to her twin brother "It is the roof of heaven showing from here"
Taivaan katto means the roof of heaven in English
Heres one I found on my Hard drive an experiment with Igor 2016 part of a project called mmmm I believe (Hi Igor its been a while...) anyway hope you enjoy

I can see you on your rocking horse now
The one that turned around and kicked you in the teeth
He thought…
We're bored in lockdown again. I call out for collaboration and Joe Whibley pops out of the aether. And this is what happened. Joe did a fucking fantastic job with most of the work (playing all the instruments and a vocal), I just stuck in some…
Are you scared to wake up?
In the same place you laid your head.
You scribble on your make up,
To pretend your face's not dead.
And I know,
Yes I know.
The opposition shows.
Are you afraid to take up?
Memoirs of your past.
You hang…
so.... i first wrote & recorded this song in 2015, and then did a new version in 2017, and here's my updated 2020 version...
still not totally happy with it but... here we are anyway lol...
I live in a house with a river running at the bottom of the garden so i wrote a song about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz0ygixKAno
When I get down by the river and I watch it flow
I Wonder where the hell it finally goes
Snaking…
(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I wasn't even sure the recording machine was still going to work after nearly five years... Certainly, bits of me don't work anymore... But, surprisingly, I got this done in 24 hours, start to finish... Strange old world…

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

It certainly is an interesting experience in the head phones!
I had to do a double-take when I saw you had posted something....great lyrics.
