The Simple Things

The Simple Things
(Morgan-Sookman)

Well, here it is, the big bad bloated climax to the 365 Music Project and the whole Pop Machine Welterschmittundgotterdamungspeil in general. Written long ago in a rinky-dink Hollywood apartment far away, this is the one where we threw every erg of smartassedness we had into puncturing the idea of the power ballad as best we could. Lots of bombastic instrumentation, lots of over-earnest lyrics (until the obligatory-for-us "All You Need Is Love" long not-quite-fade) and lots of friends in the studio yukking it up makes this the perfect close to the show. Please turn off the lights when you leave but leave the night light on. I get lonely...

Al: Vox
Sook: Percussion, Vox
Scott: Lead & Rhythm Electric Guitar, Vox
Mike: Keys
Dave: Drums, Bass, Lead Electric Guitar
Michelle Jackino: Acoustic Guitar

...and now, the future. 365MP will be returning at the end of the summer and retaining the daily format (best I can) for round 2. I'll be reposting much of the previous year but promise at least 1 NEW song a week, plus new alternate versions, mixes, demos, pictures, and a website redesign. So there'll be plenty of new stuff around, a'aight?

And in the meantime, please visit the new Pop Machine MySpace page at: http://www.myspace.com/popmachineband. I hope some of you out there have enjoyed the lummage; hopefully a "best of" will take me less than a year...

Cheers,

Al

Nice one to end the 365 on! And when are you going to get the chorus of children for the finale?
Many congrats on the excellent example, persistence and talent represented here!
All we need is some diet coke and some pizza, and there's more where that came from!
