Back in 2001, Apple’s GarageBand didn’t exist, and I was running an old free version of ProTools on my Power Macintosh G3. I used a program called Virtual Drummer to create a rather hyperactive drum machine rhythm track, then added guitar and bass by plugging them straight into the audio jack (the guitar distortion is simply overdriving the Mac’s input). I sang into a cheap Radio Shack mic. And so you have “It Wouldn’t Hurt” (2.4 MB MP3 file) which I suppose doesn’t hurt too badly, considering.
Until now few people have heard this song, unless you bought a copy of my album and got the bonus DVD, on which it is available along with other unreleased stuff. Now the track is also at iTunes and on the Podsafe Music Network. © 2001 by Derek K. Miller (SOCAN).
