What a nice surprise to hear this morning! Something fun and different from Alex. Excellent work.
+1 for the Poi Dog meets Dylan comment. That's pretty spot on. = )

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.

this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
I'm tired now, and I think I'll take a few days off from RPM. I need one more tune and that shouldn't be to tough to do.
Thanks everyone,
I'll be in touch soon.

Something you don't often hear from me and that's
straight drummin'. On this track I left the
original L/R kit track because it just sounded
more raw and nasty. Listen close and you'll hear different levels on the high hat. Plus, you can…
This is brilliant. I need to give this album a proper listen once I've wrapped up the challenge (nearly there!) - in fact I need to listen to loads of the finished articles.. anyone know if there will be a big page of them like last year... Su?!
Well, song 10 finally. A bit on the heavy side, some odd FX, strange vox, an Ibanez, The ever present harmonica, and some help from Illegal Alien Autopsy.
This was the first song I tracked for RPM. But, since my pen has run out of ink this month…
An odd tune - took time to grow on me but I like it. Still a little sick, hence the froglike vocals and negligent production.
A song about the Rock of Gibraltar
All done on the Boss Micro BR
Long Goodbyes
You say your life is disgusting…
wouldnt have thought that would work.. mario on his keyboard and luigi playin mad ass drums.. it does though, infectious, and its going to be playin in my head when i try and sleep tonight.. thanks for that ;)
Based around a fragment I came up with around 10 years ago in University believe it or not, while I was learning to play guitar. As you can see, I was homesick. :) Thanks so much to Gary for adding a bit of spice with the bass, lead guitar and…
A folky ballad about the trials and tribulations that happen during home recording, in this particular case using a Boss microBR.

Let me tell you all a story, most of it is true,
a strange and twisted…
im living this song at the momment! great track.. reminds me of what i like about shel silverstein/dr. hook. Also shades of Nilsson when he was feeling jovial.. I love that stuff! Loving the crazy middle section too.. Thanks for the comments by the way.. much appreciated!
Again i'd love some feedback
I like the feel and the mix

recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune

What a nice surprise to hear this morning! Something fun and different from Alex. Excellent work. +1 for the Poi Dog meets Dylan comment. That's pretty spot on. = )
Your music is lovely Alex and the lyrics sound genuinely from the heart. Let's hear it for your friend!
Oh, well, we are all happy for you too!
Ha, great lyrics Alex! Interesting mix of instuments and they work so well together. Lovely chirpy track.
fun piece
Prog rocky, sligtly Gabrielesque and definitely dark. I particularly like the little "diddly bit" that runs through....yeah I know it probably has a proper name but I just finished a week of night shifts....aaaaaaauugh!! Jarvo
Interesting insight! Lovely song.
suthin' different.
Very Philosophical You can learn something from everyone. I like your musical style.
Diggin it! Poi Dog Pondering meets Bob Dylan then they both get schooled by Alex Moody! :-)

perfect accompaniment to my relaxing sunday morning bathtime.. cheers!
very dreamy.. conjures a nice image
What a great idea this is.. the melody and the delivery of it contrast perfectly to create something unique. chipper
charming.. very..
nothing valuable to offer critique wise i'm afraid, other than to say that as usual this was thoroughly enjoyed.
reminds me of something.. think it might be corpses in their mouths by ian brown.. but only in a mild way.. great feel.. very delicate
great playing chappy.. lovely stuff

love hearing harmonica in something this dark and heavy.. brilliant. great sound on the riff too. nice one chappy!
this is class! reminds me of some of the kinks stuff.. perfick
this is brilliant. great sound to it (especially the vocals). and the lyrics are class
wouldnt have thought that would work.. mario on his keyboard and luigi playin mad ass drums.. it does though, infectious, and its going to be playin in my head when i try and sleep tonight.. thanks for that ;)
wow.. that was incredible.
here's the first Gary!! Thanks again so much for all the help...
i like rhythm track A, I like rhythm track B, but which is better? There's only one way to find out.. fight!!
really enjoyed this. quite a journey.. glad i had my headphones on for it or else i might have missed bits. Bass is so fat too, great sound..
oh my god.. amazing guitars!
