February 28, 2010 at 10:38 pm · Journals, NewsI can actually remember the very first time I tried to sing. I was in first grade, but I’d been out of school for at least a month with some really awful flu or something. I was a pretty unhealthy kid, so I spent most of my time indoors. Like most American families, the TV was always on and I paid more attention to it than I ever did to my parents.
I got in the habit of leaving MTV on because my sixteen-year-old baby sitter Julie would come over first thing every morning and immediately flip my Donald Duck cartoons off in favor of the channel anyway. She’d also alternately chew bubblegum, talk on the phone, paint her nails and sun herself in my yard. One day, Duran Duran’s “New Moon On Monday” was playing when I suddenly realized that I’d heard it enough to recite all of the words. For no explainable reason, I immediately got up, cradled my plastic lightsaber in my arms like a guitar and jumped around yelling the words just like the guys on the screen with the weird hair.
It immediately clicked with me that I was gonna sing whatever I wanted like that for the rest of my life, not because I thought I could do it better than anyone, but because that’s what I do. I have since repeated this action for the past 26 years with various other objects but eventually a guitar. Can’t explain it much clearer than that.
I soon got my own boombox that I could carry into my room. Radio stations were my ever present background noise. I listened to every station equally, even the ones I didn’t quite understand. Something about all of these songs literally floating through thin air into my black box was absolutely fascinating to me. My favorite stations were always the ones at the left of the dial because they played every style of music imaginable in one place, which meant you also didn’t have to switch around so much. These stations also were super neat because they played music I didn’t hear from MTV or my parents record collection. So what if the DJs sounded really uncomfortable and bookish? I had no idea that this stuff was usually coming out of a rundown room in some no-name college until much later.
Through these stations, I grew up hearing some of the greatest pop music of all time. Really great power pop, two-and-a-half minute wonders that just got in, said their peace, and left it stuck in your head all day long. Understandably, that’s what I most naturally leaned toward when I got into songwriting. Why? Because you could say anything you wanted to someone as long as you write a melody to go with it. No matter how personal, sentimental or volatile. As long as they can hum it, they mostly don’t hold anything against you.
That’s what my new album is about, so I’ve decided to cheekily title it “Pop! Pop! Pop!”. To remind you that this short and sweet collection isn’t anything that I forced, these were all sentiments that just rolled off my tongue. I decided not to overthink it and wonder how I’d feel about what I was singing about later on. I figured if it was coming out of me naturally, it must have really needed to be said, even when it’s seemingly innocuous.
This is the first album that I’ve recorded 100% digitally, without taking many – if any – lo-fi shortcuts. It’s very fair to argue that I haven’t got a fucking clue how to make ones and zeroes work in my favor. I’m more of a machine/magnetic strip kind of guy. Tangible stuff, you know? Time will tell if in sounds any good, because God knows my hearing is shot. I like the sounds a lot, myself.
I was going to wait to release it until 04/01/10, but I’ve changed my mind. There’s no reason to wait. If I’m doing this on a computer to make things faster and easier, I might as well make it as completely uncomplicated as possible for you to get it when it’s done. So here it is: a testament to what I can do with some dilapidated instruments, my voice and a computer.
It doesn’t have any artwork because I don’t have any sort of eye for that. When the physical copy comes out on the original release date it’ll have some art at that point, I promise.
So here it is, my little tribute to pop radio, and it’s now it’s yours.
