The Frogs

These guys flew under most people's radar but they were pretty influential in the Midwest, if not indie rock in general. There music is weird but catchy and memorable. One of their songs seems to be the template for the Smashing Pumpkins song "1979". This guy named Neal has been archiving news, photos, audio and everything else pertaining to the Frogs HERE.

Sorry if this is a repeat.

Hmmm...the riff is definitely copped.

I always liked their gay stuff.

I've been interested in getting their "serious" "psychedelic" record Hopscotch Lollipop Sundae Surprise, but been burned by impulse buys too much. Have you heard it/any good?

The Frogs are one of those bands where I have a bunch of songs on tapes, CDs, the computer, (etc.) but I don't have any full albums. I'll check it out, though.

Why Do I Do This?

I was originally inspired by the Web log posted on the site for Propellerhead Software. They developed a cool 808 emulator which eventually morphed into an entire digital audio workstation package (Reason). Those early posts documented their development process and gave a human insight into their struggles. It was cool. So, I bought some hosted space and figured out FrontPage to put a rudimentary site together. My goal was to connect my family, but then realized this could be a great way for me to keep track of happenings over time. Eventually, the manual, HTML journal gave way to this Blogger setup - much easier to deal with, and not bound to one computer.

Ultimately, this is more about nothing than an episode of Seinfeld, but I appreciate that you've read this far. Really.
