Disco Bear is in the house! New track released and more...

Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock... time is running towards the release of our album! The track "Disco Bear", released today is the next-to-last one and then it is finally done! So it looks like the album is released until the weekend. It will first be available on Routenote and later on Amazon, iTunes, Spotify etc.

The album cover for the album is also allready done. You see it at the top of this blogposting. I decided for an old painting of the french revoloution. Don't try to sue me, because it is over 100 years old, so the copyright has expired. Doesn't that look great. Ok, guys.. I don't mean the tits. They look rather weird. I suppose the painter of the picture never saw any real ones ;)

Ok folks: No time for more talk. You want that album, right? So i have to finnish that last track! So here is "Disco Bear"! Enjoy!

Willma is taking a little trip back to her childhood -> new release!

Ok, first sorry to all those who read that good ole Facebook during the past 2 days and allways read something like "new track is going to be released". I will not get into the details, but some stuff went kinda wrong so i allways thought the new track would be just a matter of a few minutes of work... and then ...well...

But now it is done! Our new trip takes you back to the days of dear Willma's childhood. I will not get into the details because, as you can imagine, Willma's childhood was not like any childhood of a little girl. There was that incident with that other child which was found burried in the sand and also there was some accident at the beach... ahh, no I will not tell you the bloody and or embarassing details. *LOL*

So here is TRACK NUMBER ELEVEN of the upcomming album! Just 2 to go! And we plan a nice little surprise for the release of the album, but sadistic as we are, we will not tell you yet. Just as much as there will be 5 copies of the album given away for FREE in a sweepstake... oops, now I told it... ;) Details follow...

So here's the new track "Childhood Memories"! Enjoy!

Joyriding in Popp-Town - New release!

About time we get that album finnished eh? Patience, brothers and sisters: The end is near! Just 3 more songs and it will be out in the shops! This is track number ten, and it is a special one: This is a solo work by me, the mastermind of the project. No, this is not because nobody contributed anything. In fact I am working at the finalization of at least 2 other tracks simultaneously. So why is the new track "Joyriding in Popp-Town" made by me, myself and I? Well, I had that quick idea for the bassline and rythm a few days ago and i asked some contributors if they wanted to work with me at this and the answer was something like "Ugh, that's... weird... nope... no idea what to contribute to this". So I decided to finnish "Joyriding in Popp-Town" all by myself, just to show those *insert insult here* what a great song I can make out of this. Now they are all like "Wow! That's great! Makes them butts shake!". Yadayadayada... Thanks for nothing, jerks ;)

Nope, I'm not angry against my folks. In fact I am quite thankful for the opportunity to do a track for the project all by myself. Yeah, as I said, the remaining 3 tracks for the album are allready on their way and somewhere in a state between a nice arrangement and allmost finnished. So be ready for some more Willma Poppen dope during the next days. And now have fun with our (actually my ;) ) new release. Fasten your seatbelts, empty that bottle of booze and have some fun joyriding in Popp-Town. Ahh, nearly forgot: Greetings to the folks in Hamburg-Poppenbüttel -> you know why ;)

AlionLive features all Willma Poppen releases so far!

Heya Folks!
No new song from us so far, but some news you may have missed. Me, alionsonny, was made aware of the fact, that some of the most loyal Willma Poppen fans do obviously not visit the alionsonny Blog and website on a regular basis or even do not at all. And I was also pointed to the fact, that many Willma Poppen listeners do not know about AlionLive at all.

And as I also got to know, that the popularity of the Willma Poppen project is, accordingly to our statistical data, even bigger than that of the alionsonny project, we thought it would not just be a good idea to inform you, here at the nucleus of the Willma Poppen movement, about the following:

AlionLive is a YouTube channel on which the founder and mastermind of the WPP, alionsonny, features biketrips, hikes and some other of his activities. Recently he did a biketrip through an area of Germany, known as the "Holstein Switzerland", to the baltic sea and back. With the exception of one song, the about 50 minutes of the AlionLive Episode "Biketrip to the Baltic Sea - Radtour an die Ostsee" feature all 9 songs released by the WPP so far. So if you want to get a total view on the works of the WPP so far accompanied by some beautiful landscape, nature etc. this is a mustview. There has also been a bit of a trouble with copyright trolls and the dreaded contentfilter of YouTube. Read more about this here. Those problems by the way have been settled. Abd now, much fun with the video:

New song "Strandspaziergang" released!

Yes, the attentive fans of Willma know, that the song has been allready released friday evening, but yesterday I was just a bit too lazy to post that information here. So, what do we learn out of this? Simply: It pays to keep in touch with me, alionsonny, via Facebook. Oooh, you do not like Facebook? Well, your choice ;) For those who are using Facebook, the best source of new info about my several projects is my Facebook page. And there's also a own FB page for the Willma Poppen project. Since the later one is updated when this Blog is updated, it surely makes more sense just to follow my personal page.

Ok so far for the Kindergarden caretaking ;) The new song by us is again a pure community project. Still I did so much of the bits & pieces, especially the production, that if not Thorsten (*wave*) contributed a very nice arpeggiator line, I would have released that song as a genuine alionsonny production ;)

I can hear the non-german listeners shout "What's the meaning of the title and why all of a sudden a german title?". Cool down... the title means "a walk at the beach" and the title is German, because we (the Willma Poppen Team) are Germans. And the title came into my mind when listening to the song for the first time in finnished state. I decided to use more German songtitles in the future, because German language is too beautiful to be hidden behind any other language on the planet... and we have far too much English language in the world. alionsonny becomming a nationalist? Well, if you think so... ;)

Ahh... by the way... YES, we will start a Willma Poppen Blog in German language too soon...

Ok, that was far too much text for a Willma Poppen Blog, so now we get to the thing this posting is about: The new song "Strandspaziergang". LISTEN TO IT GODDAMN LOUD!

Poppin' All Over The World -> We are back with a new song!

Heya folks! Now, that didn't take too long at all. seems like the project is getting some kind of a shape, which is about time since the project is soon 7 years of age. With our latest release, we kinda returned to the original Willma Poppen approach and this time really everyone is happy with the result... not that it wasn't like this all the time ;)
Ok, you are happy, that there is finally a new Willma Poppen track? Shall I make you even more happy? OK: The next track is allmost ready! Just a bit of finnishing work, and it is ready to be released. and you know what that means? The next track will be the 9th track released by Willma Poppen, and this means JUST 4 MORE TRACKS AND THE ALBUM "HEROES OF THE POPP-CULTURE" IS READY TO BE RELEASED! And this means you will be finally able to buy our tracks at iTunes, Amazon etc. and thus you will be able to cruise around in your car and blast the Willma Poppen sound all over the beach. Yeah, enough words. Here's the music:

Mrs. Von Poppen's Funny Mushroom Omelette!

Yeah, yeah, here we go. After quite a time... well you know it: The Willma Poppen Project doesn't release tracks each day, but quite rarely. But for all you very patient folks, here is the new song by Willma Poppen. And this time it is produced by the original core team of Willma Poppen, whose members  traditionally will be kept secret. In fact this is the first time after the release of "Popp-U-lism", that the core founders of Willma Poppen did a track together. There was a time, when it all looked like, Willma Poppen would continue as just another solo project by me, Juergen Wolther aka alionsonny, and I am so glad that, once again I managed it to bring that group of very creative folks together to get a track done. And to celebrate that great Willma Poppren reunion, I did not alter to contribution of the Willma Poppen Crew as much as I did when I produced, mixed, mastered the recent Willma Poppen tracks. Instead I glued the parts together like some badly made Frankenstein Monster to preserve as much of the colaborative spirit as possible. May many of such works follow. Maybe we get a Willma Poppen album out someday... would be about time ;)
And here it is, our new song:
