*applause*
A masterful album, RPM or otherwise, crammed with cunning lyrics and kicking riffs. Quite the adventure from start to finish. Let me know when the mastered version is available. Loved it, loved it.
Deliciously heartfelt. Quite beautiful, revealing lyrics. We also lost a close friend last year. This song touched me...especially the part from 4 mins, when you repeat the line about "hearing a song you liked". What a wonderful tribute.
A song for my lovely lady. She hates this kind of tune and the original lyric was "shit hippy music was never her thing" but I bottled out and changed it. Part of my RPM 2015 effort
A good friend of mine has unpleasant and potentially serious health issues. Not sure if I should have written this, but I did. Part of my RPM 2015 effort
Full title is 'I love you girl (it's just the rest of the world that I can't stand). Something I say to her often and is true. Except you, you're all right! Part of my RPM 2015 effort
This is how I feel when I'm gripped by depression, which has been a bit too often recently. Feeling ok at the moment though. Part of my RPM 2015 effort
A tune I wrote and recorded last year as a result of a good friends hungry teenage daughter sitting in the dance tent at the Sunrise festival chanting 'pizza, pizza!'. Working on a new album if yer interested. New tracks soon with any luck.
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…
Had the chorus idea floating in my head for a number of years, but never had the inspiration to do anything with it. Then a friend died and this song came out of me staring out the window in the cold of January 2005 wondering what the hell to…
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.
This is the centrepiece of the album; my self-confessed preferred track to RPM HQ. Powerful vocals by Jen Gibbons and heavy beats supplied by Chris Thomas. The drum track was heavily overdriven to crispen it up and the kick was given a lot of…
This is from our album, "When I Was Your Age," recorded entirely in the month of February for our third year participating in the RPM Challenge. "When I Was Your Age" is a collection of 13 songs looking back at when we were kids.
This song's about that guy in the band who really can't play and just doesn't get any better, but pays for studio time, buys the gear, springs for beer, and owns the van. You always have to think twice about kicking the guy out with all the money!
This song's about getting reacquainted with your ol' guitar after neglecting it for a few years.
Back in 2006 our band started working on writing and recording music for our project, TheSongOfTheDay.com where we released one song for each…
Inspired by the book Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks. An earworm (or brainworm as Sacks espouses) is that catchy melody that sticks in your brain that you just can't shake.
Great little hook to this. Reminds me a little of Aussie band Spiderbait, which is a very, very good thing in my world. Love this so much it's gonna be faved!
The musician's anthem! This song hits on a Beatnik Turtle theme about not wanting to work (see our first RPM album: All In A Day's Work). Instead, all you want to do is bang on the drums all day. And yet, work, life, and the inevitable day job…

Love the link between Magic Flight and this campfire classic in the making! Sweet like cocoa on a cold, dark night. *holds lighter in the air*
Wildly inventive!
Yeehaw! Hang on baby! :-D

Supersweet!
Breezy song at the very beginning, sounds a little retro, and then you seamlessly switch feel and groove. Very cool!
Great vibe right from the get go. Love that frisky bass. The chorus tips it over the edge...I suspect an ear worm...
Touching and introspective. I would miss you, especially if you're going to churn out more tracks like "Unhinged" and "Leaves in the Autumn". ;)
Right up my street - gritty folk flavours. Super sweet harmonies.
This is more like 10 tracks, isn't it? OVER-AWESOME.
Awesome riffage, great energy - fabulous album opener!
absolutely brilliant!
haha - glad I finally got to this one! Schweet!

Nice Stonesy riff and production. Like all the vocals too...
A classic pop/rock tune! Nice one
Nice! Excellent little pop tune.
Top tune! Love the vocal interplay
Have to agree with the Sister. Great production, excellent vocals
In my head I hear a real big production behind this beautifully observed song. Very good indeed!
This is brilliant. The production/mixing is outstanding. Frankly, I'm deeply jealous!
Just remembered how much I loved this tune last year, so downloaded this album too.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I'm downloading your fantastic RPM album and it will be played A LOT!
Oh, how I relate to this song! Another winner
Man, you write catchy tunes! Love it
Great little hook to this. Reminds me a little of Aussie band Spiderbait, which is a very, very good thing in my world. Love this so much it's gonna be faved!
What a fantastic, summery, upbeat pop tune. Couldn't agree more about not wanting to work!
Sounds quite joyful to me! But love the title and the composition
Very pastoral. Looking forward to some warm afternoons! Again, lovely
Sounds like rain! Love the way you come out of the refrain at about 1.40 back into the rain motif. Very nice
