THE ELM TREASON NEWSLETTER NUMBER 79

OCTOBER 21, 2022

ELM TREASON TIDBITS

– Nothing to report… other than work on “WITHOUT A TRIBE,” our next studio album, continues.

Your Input: From HELL YEAH to meh…

Once again, a hearty hello to you all!

This week we are going to kind of do opposite of what we did last week.

Name a band or artist you LOVED as a kid (or a young adult ) but have come to feel lukewarm about or “outgrow” as an older one.

Easy Peasy.

HIT that comments section. We WANT to hear from you.

Have fun with it! Thanks, everybody!

That’s a hard one. I listened to Billy Squier A LOT as a teenager, but he’s not a go to artist. I still like him, though. 🙂

My first thought was Donny Osmond or the Osmonds, but you don’t hear them anymore so I don’t think they count. I used to love Queen back in the day, and occasionally I still can jam when I hear one of their songs, but anymore I can just take them or leave them.

Cindy Findlater

honestly even the kids music i listened to i enthuse to my niece and nephew. everything i loved, i still love but maybe for slightly different reasons

Kim

Bay City Rollers

Jake Lucas

When I was young I loved gangsta rap now I’m almost embarrassed playing it.

Eric Fetha

Bon Jovi.

Charles Wax

As a kid, I liked the sound of Herman’s Hermits. Short, punchy tunes with that English accent. And there were a lot of hits. But a few years later I had given up on them as more exciting bands were coming. I did see the Tour that Herman Hermits headlined, the Who was in the middle, and the Blues Magoos opened. Herman’s Hermits stood there like sticks playing their set. Both of the other bands were exciting to hear and watch (especially the Who, still a favorite). Peter Noone went on to play with the Tremblers (an underrated late 70’s band). And since then, I have had several opportunities to see him live, and even speak with him a bit. Peter has a great show, very funny, with all the old Hermits songs and a few surprises. So, what has happened here is that I liked them, then they became passe, but then I liked them again because you can’t keep a good song down.

BOBBY

I’m going to check out The Tremblers. Thanks for sharing.

Bill Boys

Partridge Family, and the Archies.
The Monkees and the Jackson 5 survived my early childhood love of music favorably I guess they just had better writers.

BOBBY

yep out of all my TV show bands, The Monkees survived for me too.

Bill Boys

Cool! had no idea about Gates!

Bill Boys

My favorite part of Groovy Noodles is “Groovy Noodles Extra.” Since Elm Treason themselves consider percussion a huge part of what they are, this week’s “Extra” was special to me: Bobby writes about his drumming influences. From this and other comments, that the duo have made, it occurs to me that drums are Bobby’s third instrument. Just re-listened to Eye to Eye. Third instrument? WOW!

BOBBY

Thank you so much 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the article.

Shirley

Bands that are less palatable haha, here are the cringeworthy, starland vocal band, styx, Hot chocolate, oh so many more, funny how we grow up and as we learn the ins and outs of music production our tastes change.

BOBBY

Yes. Styx was another band that I listened to a lot as a kid , but now they’ve become a radio station switcher for me. It’s strange how these things happen isn’t it?

BOBBY

When i was in high school up to about 21 years of age i listened to U2 a lot. Now I can hardly stand listening to them at all. I don’t know. I felt like i needed to see other people I guess.
Sorry U2. Didn’t mean to hurt ya, kid.

Kim Groff

Aztec Two Step, Creedence…still listen to them….and actually appreciate them more so, especially the B side Creedence blues, and ATS guitar work….

Kim Groff

I love Noovy Groodles!….Where’s my whiskey??

Vincent Peteroy

Tough one…🤔
I would say speed metal bands like Helloween, Overkill, Anthrax, Slayer, Etc.
Still like them but not go to music….😄👍🏻

BOBBY

Every once in a while I revisit those bands, listen to a few songs, have nostalgic memories and then say “ok that’s enough of that” 🙂

BOBBY

I know exactly what you mean, brother. Same with me.

Alice Sullivan

I love it guys! Memories, memories, memories that still make me LMAO. Stay safe everyone, find something to laugh at, even if it’s yourself. Be sure I’m entertaining myself, trying to figure out where I set my glasses.

chris valenti

KISS in 1975. I felt like I had my own music & thought Ace & Peter was all that.

Ruth Wirt

The Eagles and Doobie Brothers. Used to love them but it’s all over now. Used to think Bob Dylan was pretentious but really like him now. I do a spot on impression of him now because I can’t sing either.

BOBBY

Same here. Eagles has strangely become a station switcher for me. I don’t think even scientific notation could calculate how many times I’ve heard Hotel California on the radio. It’s ironic Classic rock stations seem to destroy classic rock by overplaying the same 3 songs from certain bands.

Ellen Hakala

I used to love Bread and the Eagles, but I just cannot go there now and the big one is the Beatles no can do…

BOBBY

I feel like that with certain songs from the solo Beatles. And you know who they are and what songs they are….

Daniel

Believe it or not, I really felt myself “burning out” on AC/DC. I guess when you’ve heard all their hits about 10,000 times each, it can happen.

BOBBY

yeah. i can’t even listen to You Shook Me All Night Long anymore on the radio and i LOVE AC/DC both Bon Scott and Brian Johnson stuff. Damn that classic rock radio

Rich

Rick Nelson, don’t mind the answer I’m old🤣🤣🤣🤣
