A tune about one of my favorite activities. This is one of the songs form my soon to be completed RPM Challenge 2012 submission. Special guest Steve Litras providing the blazing guitar solo.
Holiday song written and recorded for the RPM Holiday Challenge 2011. This is about a California transplant waxing nostalgic about Christmas in New England.

A riff that could only be played with a raunchy synth sound. Forgive me if this causes an 80's flashback, but I had a lot of fun with this one. Originally recorded for RPM Challenge 2011, but updated with new guitar and bass to beef it up.
A track from the RPM Challenge 2011 album. "Foggy Bottom Stomp" is a straight forward rolling groove that goes well with a brisk walk around the neighborhood.

This was recorded starting in March of 2010 so I could experiment with some new recording software, and it eventually evolved into what you're hearing.
A basic surf tune inspired by, well, night surfing. I was going for a happy loneliness with…
Hey... First one in to comment! Great groove on this one... So how about the words now that you've survived RPM and recovered... I'm wanting to hear 'em.

The August 2023 30 Day Songs prompt came from a list of ChatGPT country song names a friend posted to Facebook. I started off trying to make fun of the genre and instead wrote a song I think I sorta like. Rumor is there's a second mix floating…
I asked to robots to help me write a song in the style of Tom Waits.
Riding on a train to the edge of town
Where the night has just begun
People on the street with nowhere to go
Living hard and having fun
Everywhere I go there’s a song…
I developed a strong obsession with the building blocks of pop songs and tried to craft one. Unfortunately, I wrote it in a key that was high enough that the combination of the rapid-fire words and the pitch nearly made me pass out while singing…
Another song idea from a meme. Or, more accurately, a movement.
The term “Birds Aren’t Real” refers to biological “Birds” no longer existing on United States soil. After the government forcibly made the entire species extinct in the 20th century…
A tale of two songs and a unicorn. The funky instrumental meets the jazzy bits and then Megan joins in on the singy bits.
I've spent years searching for the proper female singer for my songs. I've referred to it as my quest for a unicorn…
RPM 2k22
never need to convince myself
I always knew
surrounded by you
I am at peace where I am
can you say it too
the past is a clue
stop waiting, for things to change
just change, anything that you want
change, anything that you…
I suppose it could be worse
I know I'm lucky I'm all right
But I can tell that you've been cursed
And it keeps me up at night
So few are born to come in first
So many born into a fight
If the roles had been reversed
Would they still believe…
Raised on vinyl and a needle that rides
To a paper circle at the end of both sides
Between the speakers, cover in hand
Sit in silence after Jungleland
I will not trade one bit of my soul for their pieces of gold
I've seen a world they'll…
Song 5 for the RPM Challenge. Building tunes around an incessant bass line is oddly appealing to me. This is a bit of a dystopian song of sorts. Thanks to anyone who listens!
Take me to the river
and hold me under water
Bow down beside…
Bringing back a song from 2011 with a new twist. The song now has drums, bass, and an orchestral backend. This is hopefully part of a larger collection of me reworking older songs with orchestration.
Many thanks to Brian of A Beautiful Scene…
2021 50/90 Song Number 48
Not bad. I like the phaser on the guitars in the A section, and I like the wah on the rhythm near the end. That wash of noise underneath is actually a guitar solo that was sort of hiding the slow wah effect so I…
Never forget the simple pleasure of just listening to music. I wrote a whole album about it a few years ago called The Lost Art Of Listening. This one's about how a song can simultaneously take you away from the concerns of life, yet make you…
There's a darkness creeping in the woods by a brimstone tree
A withered headless horseman traveling on the breeze
A mighty footprint measured 15 inches long
Whispered voices rolling in off the fog
(Chorus)
Transcribe plates made of stone…
Every year a few of us RPM Challenge aficionados record a Christmas track for fun. It's partially to dust off the cobwebs before February, partially just a chance to do something different. This year I decided to do a version of this number, since…
