ROADBED

Roadbed is a band i was a big part of that released 4 CD's earlier in this decade.

I got a email about the song "Bingo" which set me off on a Roadbed listening tangent.

There ain't no flies on ROADBED, a few things are wrong like the line in Gibbering Fool "you got to give your John Thomas" which should be "you got to give your John Henry". I remember trying to correct that one in the studio but there was a camp that believed john Thomas sounded good. feeling this urge to punch. Then there was Deep Fried where that idgit sang OK wrong.

Funny how the scars of a production session are always ready to rip back open.

All and all pretty mean stuff. Represented is a masterpiece, and i still love the promo line for it... "The physical CD itself was released without a cover... an ill fated move that can be best summed up with the idea that the point it barely made wasn't worth making in the first place". What can i say, I'm a sucker for the truth. A man in suit once told me not to judge a book by it's cover. I offered to adjust his tie.

Hearing the music of Roadbed again tonight is defiantly good for the soul. I use to dream of putting out a great CD. ROADBED spanked down 4 and managed to define an original sound with consistently smart lyrics.

i guess in all fairness i now love the song Kings Quest... which i thought sucked in the studio. A rock song about chess... inspired by a number of games of chess i had with a "super" computer... i lost them all. There was one game where i did really well for a while and even thought i might win. Funny how just after you think you might win the word CHECKMATE comes up.
