All these tracks are incredibly hooky - but your vocal is the real attention-grabber for me. Love that in-your-face attitude when it's presented by a really lovely tone.
We have an old and senile cat with a dodgy thyroid gland who is a total pain in the bum. I know she can't help it but god she annoys me, so this song is therapy. It's a love/hate thing. Recorded as part of RPM 2010
Oh wonderful stuff. Dare I say, Chas and Dave?
Oh, ok then, I won't!
This is a breath of fresh air. Totally love your lyrics. A happy love song - nice!

You don't like the cat do you!
I haven't listened before, yay you're Great. I love any genre, except heavy metal.
Love your lyrics, delivery and music. need some more of this then.

This was an RPM track back in the day, and I've been playing it various ways to find a setting for it within the band repertoire. This doesn't sound much like our band would do it but it came out nicely, so i thought i'd share it.
Another lyrically-challenged collaboration with jip1965, who sent me a guitar, bongo, percussion track with a recorder playing named, simply, 'Love'.
I added the piccolo, crystals and windchimes from my virtual keyboard, renamed it 'What is…

I've been trying to put another one of Mike's poems to music, but not getting anywhere.
Then jip threw this music at me, saying he hated it and asking if I could do anything with it. Pieces of Mike's poem went in and I sent it back to jip with…
Well, here we go then...

Yeah you know what it is that I want
Oh you knew, didn't you, before I did?
How many times did you wonder whether I would dare?
Oh never mind...

So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

On my way…
A new original from me. Another one-voice, one-guitar, "live" performance in my broom-cupboard. This time it's the good ole tin guitar.
I wrote this one in 2002 during the "dark years" lol. I've ummed and aahed over the years on whether to…
Not sure where I was going with this, but it ended up quite dreary for what I thought were quite motivating lyrics.
Watch this space, it may well appear again with more upbeat music.

Hi Lady, thanks for the offer of beepy bits. Likewise, if you need any dubby/funky bass or geetar... This tune's growing on me, by the way. Sometimes I'm a bit too quick with my verdicts! :)x
Comments on rob mills's stuff
Why wouldn't I adore this? FABULOUS, Mr Mills!
I really dig your guitar tone Rob Mills. This should be a PSA.
Really enjoyed your RPM project, Sir. Looking forward to making time to hear more from you!
Your RPM album is ridiculously awesome. You should be ashamed.
All these tracks are incredibly hooky - but your vocal is the real attention-grabber for me. Love that in-your-face attitude when it's presented by a really lovely tone.
Genius! The closing few seconds had me in fits!!!!!!!!!
Ooh, you're real a find. Loving your sound! Fantastic production - passionate and original song-writing!
Hahahahahahaha, purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
cool song. great energy and guitar on your rpm. great work.
Damn right! Great tune too :)
What a fantastic RPM! Congratulations are in order. Here is a subject close to my heart, and very well put!
You are certainly the man for variety. The best lyrics are drawn from experience.
Good rockin song.
Love your comment at 2.26 minutes! Ha ha.
I have an off switch, but don't reckon on using it for a while.

Love it! Crazy but great
Ahh, the soul of Frank Zappa lives on! Brilliant
This is making me smile. Great song, love the lyrics
Fantastic! Thanks must go to the jazz bunny for the inspiration
Hey Stu, people are asking if you're gonna be RPM-ing this year. Hope so!
Oh Tess, still making lovely music. You gonna RPM this year? Hope so! x
Lovely vibe to this tune. Feel like I'm sitting in a sunny field with a big one burnin'!
Oh Stu, you never disappoint! Beautiful.
Cool jazz man - very Blue Note. Love it!
This deserves respect for the title alone! Great tune too
Weirdly reminds me of the Velvets with Nico! Catchy little pop tune you got here
This rocks like a mother! Nice one
Sweeeet! It's early morn but need to listen again late at night with a large bourbon. Another excellent track Mr Russe
Weird but wonderful.
Man, I wish I could play lead guitar like that. If I had any hair I'd be shakin' it! Excellent.
Nice groove. Ever heard any Fred Eaglesmith? Backing reminds me of his band - a very good thing in my world!
Wonderfully bluestastic tune. Great vocals. Love the Muddy Waters-ish guitar too.

Fantastic! Love it when it really kicks in around the three minute mark. Now THAT'S the way to do a cover. Nice one Lady Jane
Reckon you could do a fine dance version of this, my favourite, Rolf tune!
