...songs weren't just happier; they really were directed at infants. He sang songs like "Hey There Little Insect" and "I'm A Little Dinosaur" and "Here Come the Martian Martians." He stopped playing with professional musicians and picked strangers out of the audience at concerts; they'd drum for him using rolled up newspapers. It took him a couple of years, but by 1979's Back in Your Life, he had snapped out of it, and he now plays a fusion of his two previous styles. A song on his new album, I'm So Confused, is called...

The band realized that the crowd needed to hear something familiar for rejuvenation--and Lord Almighty, did they get it.

The same can be said about "Eventide;" yet this time, the brothers add flute and something known as "wah wah" bass, making "Eventide" a much more dynamic and upbeat piece, created...
...remaining core of '80s indie-rock's greatest band, despite their previous promises that the band would break up if one of the members left. The absence of a real-life drummer has opened the band up to critics who have ragged on the new album for using a drum machine, a faux pas for any true rock and roll band, as Billy Corgan and Smashing Pumpkins learned earlier this year with the mixed reception of Adore...
