The cover I did off Uglifruit's 2010 RPM submission. The drums are a pair of hotrod sticks, that I made, hitting my keyboard table. The "kick drum is the stick hitting the pop screen while the mic was on.
I still need to fade...

Once of City Steve and the Neon Lights. this was my first cover.
This song is done in the style of "the rake Song" by the decemberist. yeah. that just happened.

Brian of A Beautiful Scene wrote an amazing tune for the 2020 A Beautiful Scene RPM record and I couldn't get it out of my head. I hope I did it justice.
(updated May 10 with a slightly different mix)
Written for the April 2020 RPM mini-challenge. I hoped for an EP and ended up with a single song. The song is largely recorded on a T25 mic I built for Brian of A Beautiful Scene as a means to test the mic. It's pretty solid if you ask me…
This song perfectly encapsulates the feeling towards writing music, especially for RPM. Even with it's light humour, it still has a weight to it that commands an emotional response for all of those who have written a catalogues worth of songs. Well done Tim!

One thing I like about covers is turning a song on its head, so that's what I did with this tune from the great ABS album "The Far Side Of Paradise". I hope I made Lane proud.
I love Wilsun's 2020 RPM album "Departure", so I decided to cover it (yes, the whole album), but with a twist. I found some bits to be repetitive, so I removed them. I wrote down the lyrics and chords, and promptly ignored the originals, making…
Taken from the album ‘The Weight Of Water’, from 2007. (This is a new mix, for 2014.)
Written and performed by Rog Hildreth.
Sometimes I challenge myself to write and record a song from scratch in a single day. This is a story song which…
It is nice to see a band returning to rock roots and evolving their sound from there. Instead of that modern rock sound like Nickleback that has been sweeping the nation. Bravo gentlemen, bravo.

Pouring Rain by A Beautiful Scene
This year I thought of you, far too many times
And it’s made me think
Of things that’ve become over there and they…
And how do I know…
I love your take on this song! this is one of those songs I wrote and recorded in one night, so the guitar wasn't really thought out. You made it sound beautiful. I love the second guitar in place of the organ as well. Very well done sir.
I've gone more acoustic for this piece with bass and guitars courtesy of Jaz Arwand and the lovely, airy sound of Jess Spencer's voice. The song is about empathy or lack thereof.

Impressive. I like what you did with the drum work and the guitar is really pretty.
Very Nice! Love your improvised drum sounds!
Brilliant cover! Love the bite!
Ooh, quirky and fabulous!
Very cool cover!
Good One.
Love the way the guitar and piano work together on this. Great vocals too!
I like this this. Tension in the music fits the lyrics like a glove.
Love the guitar, and vox! Hello Dover!
A great bit of songwriting here and a top notch vocal performance!
You really captured that post punk era well here! Robert Smith would be proud!
Holy moly, great cover, also shows the good bones on this track to build on as well. Kudos all around!
GREAT cover! Wow.
Love the mix and the bass tone on this one! And yes, definitely some influences from listening to The Hazards of Love ;p
Nice bass, cool arrangement!
Well Done , I like it.
Haunting sounds!
Nice work man. Good track, I´m agree with Kirk the master :) Cool voice

Love the new mix! Nailed those "slidey" guitar parts!

Wonderfully done Tim!
Quite beautiful indeed! Nice dig on cover this particular one!
Haha haha! It really is Boy’s don’t cry. Great cover!
This is an incredible RPM album - Well done!
Just going through your tunes, you have a lot of good stuff in here. I look forward to hearing more of it!
Love your songs and your sound. Definitely one of the most talented artists I have heard. Appreciate your music and hope you make a lot more of it.

There is some good stuff here mate. I think you need to find yourself a good lyricist/ singer and make a record.
This is the darkest, most poppy song I have ever heard. I like it. I would love to hear more like it in the future of music...

This reminds me of the Cardigans in a very good way. A lot less poppy and quite dark which shows passion. Very good track!
