THE ORIGINAL STUFF, 1999
The first instances of Cherry Rounders "back in the day" were never released in any form online until "The Early Recordings of Cherry Rounders" hit streaming
in 2015. I don't really make much off of streaming, but around $40 a month does help with website/domain expenses for my real site. I also can hit up Temu or buy a few tacos for my family. Each month on the 20th I get a royalties deposit into paypal! Thanks guys! 99% of the revenue comes from one song, recorded in 2000.
This song, "I Eat Poop," has been recorded five times, the fifth variant being in 2005 at normal speed. That version is not included on the following youtube still that covers the main four variants recorded in different years/eras (2000, 2003, 2006, and 1999).
The original summer/fall was 1999 when this stuff started. The first pre-album recordings were on cassette while driving with friends. These recordings were under a "side project" of our real band. We were kidding.
From this, that fall in the meantime, I used a wal-mart yamaha psr-220 keyboard and spawned Cherry Rounders at home. This was a pre-album I guess. It was a joke as well. It was really two nights of 11 recordings each ran through filters with the originals lost. The pretend album was called "I CAN D0 1T AL50" hiding the number 15 as well as the cover it parodies, Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson.
