Some people might call it a concept album but it might be more appropriately thought of as a reality album.<br /></p><p></p><p><a href="https://royband.com/misery-accomplished.html">You can head to our website to hear Misery Accomplished in its entirety on most music and streaming platforms you can think of</a>. <br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/536144247827487">We’re playing an upcoming show at Beer Bunker in Portland April 30th @ 7.30pm</a> to celebrate the release of Misery Accomplished and play almost the whole album along with a gaggle of old Roy tunes.

As I felt the crisp newspaper in my fingers I was adjusted the knob of my AM Radio to move away from the static closer to the music. Then I read Natasha Frost's latest article "<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/17/world/asia/worlds-largest-potato-doug.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes" target="_blank">It Could’ve Been the World’s Largest Potato, if Only It Were a Potato</a>." After realizing that I had stumbled upon one of the most well articulated articles of modern journalism I had a thought.</p><p>We could have been Led Zepplin, If Only We Were Led Zepplin!

Did you know Paul and I wrote a song called "We Got Beat Down In A Britney Spears Mosh Pit" sometime in 1998? Back then Britney had just released "...Baby One More Time" and hadn't yet decided to date Justin Timberlake and wear a matching set of denim jumpsuits to the American Music Awards. Chris Crocker hadn't demanded people "leave Britney alone" either but we were back in 1998 trailblazing the modern #freebritney movement. The song may be satire juxtaposing the hard music we were fond of with her brand of pop revels but the friendly message remains the same as I sing at the end of the song<br /></p><p>"<b>This raps for Miss Britney Spears, this song helped me get rid of my fears. I love her to the end cause she's my friend, sure I got beat down but I'd do it again. Out.</b>"</p><p>I wanted those lyrics to be future telling but so far they have not been. I think you can join in our collective mourning that after being pioneers in the support Britney Spears movement we still are not friends with one of the greatest pop stars of all time. ❤️<br /></p>Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16566685677254003899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120136958032993839.post-63563858813271944382022-03-10T21:06:00.008-08:002022-03-10T21:08:11.935-08:00THE SCREAMING SKULL<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="438" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mVVf6Zdxifw" width="526" youtube-src-id="mVVf6Zdxifw"></iframe></div><br /><p></p>Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16566685677254003899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120136958032993839.post-80698538304260358482022-03-10T21:00:00.002-08:002022-03-10T21:00:16.260-08:00You'll Never Get Ahead Saying Yes To The Man<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="449" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rm9dzLxLvxc" width="540" youtube-src-id="rm9dzLxLvxc"></iframe></div><p></p><p>Bobby Conn is a rocker out of Chicago who's had an incredible song writing career.

Chic-a-go-go is a brilliant children’s dance show on cable access here in Chicago; it’s sort of like American Bandstand or Soul Train, but for little kids. Every week there is a random collection of kids and parents dancing to pre-recorded tracks and usually there is a special guest from the independant music scene. The guest can be local or touring acts, ranging from totally obscure noise bands to bigger acts. There is no budget and no rehearsal; they usually shoot two or three episodes in about two hours. The host is a punk rock rat puppet named Ratso and his lovely partner, currently Miss Mia Park.</span><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto"> </span></p><p><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto"> </span><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">I was asked to do a tune, and as the song was Never Get Ahead, I re-cut the vocals to remove references to fellatio. It is a kids' show, after all. I recut the tune the night before and really didn’t have time to rehearse the lip sync. I figured my sync would be terrible, but didn’t care too much about fooling people into thinking it was live.</span><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto"> </span></p><p><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto"> </span><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">The original version of the tune is on my album Bobby Conn, available through Atavistic/Truckstop Records. I think it is on iTunes, Amazon, etc. It’s my first album; please buy a copy as I haven’t seen any royalties from those people for a long time. There is also a live version on my album Live Classics, Vol. 1 released on Thrill Jockey Records. It is considerably more rocking than the original, which may or may not be an improvement."</span></p><p><a href="https://thrilljockey.com/products/live-classics-vol-1" target="_blank"><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">Bobby Conn - Live Classics </span></a></p><p><a href="https://thrilljockey.com/artists/bobby-conn" target="_blank"><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto">Bobby Conn @ Thrill Jockey </span></a><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto"></span></p>Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16566685677254003899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120136958032993839.post-61219019884766105632022-02-28T01:00:00.007-08:002022-02-28T01:00:00.145-08:00Upcoming Roy Album Title Revealed!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLPV6cpiIjBXRhV5p4KRMRd7xMdcZsUPrrvmBcejfFSDto1sMd8up4cPYESrFL-mciKvorhb5G-yogts1Q5zULt30CLMLI9Q_N0bF2XG0tbTdC3oYRyezYT_n1KsiUl3w4lqjHG_BG9I8nikZZwTBofjDcmXmLo6MYN924gGqwSMaEjOpFM9x-OEib=s3520" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1980" data-original-width="3520" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgLPV6cpiIjBXRhV5p4KRMRd7xMdcZsUPrrvmBcejfFSDto1sMd8up4cPYESrFL-mciKvorhb5G-yogts1Q5zULt30CLMLI9Q_N0bF2XG0tbTdC3oYRyezYT_n1KsiUl3w4lqjHG_BG9I8nikZZwTBofjDcmXmLo6MYN924gGqwSMaEjOpFM9x-OEib=w472-h266" width="472" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p>After a full year of recording Paul and I wrapped up the initial tracking of the upcoming Roy album <b>Misery Accomplished</b>.

You can follow the recipe on this Weblog to make Roy Rock Sauce but the very true truth here is that you can only make Fraudulent Roy Rock Sauce because real Roy Rock Sauce costs money AND contains a special ingredient you can not make on your own.

After talking it over we decided we want to be rich too so we reached out to Sony Music Publishing. At first, we didn't get a response but after much work we were able to talk to the upper brass at Sony Music. The negotiations were tough and there was a lot of screaming involved but we came to an understanding that we were in fact at a McDonalds drive thru. After that our spirits were understandably low but we were reminded of one thing: our total Bandcamp royalties wouldn't pay for fries so we had to share the small cone instead.<br /></p>Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16566685677254003899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120136958032993839.post-60213631784093019702021-04-12T17:25:00.003-07:002021-04-12T18:44:13.004-07:00New Roy Album Is Coming (For Those That Read Words)<p>Roy stopped playing shows in 2008 because we think it must have been very hard to hit start on the Casio keyboard. After talking about a Roy-boot for quite a long time Paul and I decided to record a new album. Recording and the initial mixing has gone much better than either of us has anticipated and at this point the album looks to be about 10 tracks. The main things left to wrap up are Paul's vocals, add samples, fiddle with virtual knobs and then mix and master it. Apparently making music this bad sound good took a few minutes?<br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbNdhSgb9rBmGIj23i0Es6EnDmwP3PV8W00XUIEXF-Vxwr3hpdosOtajiTE5N-WJn0Wlp2BznS-eGk4phvx63FzObZTK72y-1UmJiRpjoEMez5YjSoVObIFmY67D9kNWK6mOfVKppD97k/s2048/167328192_3828636567224219_6102402469881475774_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="359" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbNdhSgb9rBmGIj23i0Es6EnDmwP3PV8W00XUIEXF-Vxwr3hpdosOtajiTE5N-WJn0Wlp2BznS-eGk4phvx63FzObZTK72y-1UmJiRpjoEMez5YjSoVObIFmY67D9kNWK6mOfVKppD97k/w478-h359/167328192_3828636567224219_6102402469881475774_n.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Royhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16566685677254003899noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-120136958032993839.post-4130814195267812962021-04-12T17:18:00.004-07:002021-04-12T17:32:49.140-07:00All Of Our Old Music Is Still Old Again!
