Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.

This is ace mate,I been trying to hook up to this type of sound for ages.I get a sort of soggy Debra sound instead of a nice crisp Dobro sound 80) New here so I may pester your back catalogue for a while.Cheers Jarvo.

Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones.
Not a million miles away from a man you might have known.

Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2

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…
This one is about how falling in love kind of involves giving up any say in whether or not your heart gets trampled. It's about that fear. Gary doing a sterling job as usual on lead guitar..
She's amazing
Beauty holds no bounds
and her voice…
Stopped by to listen to this year's effort. Liked most of what I heard. I agree that falling in love involves fear, risk, and not a little anxiety. I know those emotions well.

This provides a theory which ties together two of my key traits a) always tired b) terminally disappointed by peoples lack of courtesy - there's a link people!
Did you ever feel so down
That you didnt know up
Didnt recognise highs
And smiles…

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 ;)

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
do the lyrics work?
recorded t'night in an hour after trying all day to get the verse lyrics rammed into another tune
Comments on A Bit More Better Productions's stuff
I love your voice...reminds me of dave thomas from pere ubu...one of my favs
great song...amazing sound..love the big drum and piano groove..
Now country ballad,killer organ and nicely fingered piano ...well impressed.

I love story songs that have that touch of authenticity. Love it
I like guacamole!
Alex Moody, new king of the British Soul Singers...
Great collab here Alex and G Essex. Oooh, cool change up at 1:28.
Stopped by to listen to this year's effort. Liked most of what I heard. I agree that falling in love involves fear, risk, and not a little anxiety. I know those emotions well. ER
I like your lyrics. Nice.
I really like this! Very catchy, with some real cool layered sounds.
Great song...very lush and hearfelt.
I'm going to be playing this over and over.
Shit, oh shit, shit! This just is not fair. So real. So right on, so I wish I wrote this, so I could sing it, cause I want to say it just like this.
David Byrne would have liked to have written and sung this... too bad for him, you did, and it's all you.
Amazing style...captivating songwriting!
This sounds awesome...a Neil Young/The Band vibe.
This is great...so much fun!
Nice instrumental mix
The more I listen...just keeps gettin' better! I agree with Kirk, great writing!

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!
love the harmonica on this one..
