Damion Suomi & The Minor Prophets

As of 1/3/2012 it will have been two year since my Father’s sudden passing and to celebrate his life and memory I have the distinct pleasure of presenting a recently discovered original song by my Pop’s, Duane Suomi.

“All The Killing” was recorded sometime in 2008 in my home studio. He never liked the vocals he cut, so it just sort of sat on the back burner until we totally forgot about it. He didn’t hold a very high opinion of himself, artistically speaking, and was privy to writing, recording … and then deleting.

Recently I was thrilled to discover the vocal scratch track he laid down one night. Although I’m sure if he inhabited the Earth today he’d still be trying to lay down a “Killer Vocal” but in light of the situation, I think this one sounds pretty good.

Pay close attention to the late 00’s cultural references. Most of the people referenced are still causing problems. The lyric is quintessential Pop’s. Sardonic yet charming.

Here to my Dad, the Tupac of Melbourne, Florida… Or maybe Biggie is a better analogy…

He did always love it when you called him Big Papa.
