Paper hearts in your window
paper hearts on your door
Paper hearts ripped in pieces
And Strewn across the floor
but who am I to question
The intentions of old…
(RPM 2011) For obvious reasons, many RPM albums make use of improvisational sound collages. ;-) This is the first of three that divide the record into sections. You may or may not hear the connections in the lyrics, but it actually does make…
Goodbye Blue Monday

Goodbye blue Monday
There's nothing else to say
We always knew
we would part this way
Time comes to say goodbye
To pause perhaps and wonder why
Why we always had to be
So blue, so blue
I can see that life…
Sloane did me a favor & played an electric guitar part on this one. I had hoped to work with her more on this project, but she wound up leaving town to help take care for a recovering family member.

This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…

I've been all around
I've been up and down
I said I've traveled in all directions
Now
The world is new
If you've seen what I've seen
And you've been where I've been
I guess you know what I mean
Now
The world is new

Old Paint Ver.II
Continued from Old Paint Version I............
So, I plugged in the cat eater, hit distort and it took on a whole new feel.
I added bass(finger is tore up now), more drums, and low level fuzzed up leads.
The ghost…
Wow, this is one of my all-time favorites of all your stuff I've ever heard, and that's really saying something! Songs like this (which might never have been created otherwise) are just one of the many reasons I love RPM...
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…
Reminds me of Deep Purple, one of my all-time favorite bands!
I don't know how to insert the little headbangin' emoticon here, but do know that I am throwin' the devil horns and rockin' out!
I guess I knew this would happen. Talk about creating one's own reality Sheeeeesh. End of the month and my pen has been re-fueled and I added some vox to this one, plus some lead guitar, and a bit of synth strings. I also took a shot at some…
What a fun fourth of July this was... and I love the background sound of fireworks in this! Really brings it back to me.
This live track was recorded by my dearly departed friend, Hippie Mark. He was far and away our number one fan & I miss him more than words can say. ~ Michael
What we are is mostly water
On our way back to the sea
I have made this trip so many times
I'm just glad you're here with me
Fall alone or fall together
Either way we will be one
You and me, we will reach the sea
And have need for names no more…

> Great song altogether. Fabulous guitar and vocals!
Again, it's all props to my buddy Chris. His playing, arranging, and singing never failed to blow me away... He's one of a kind, and I sure miss hanging with him - and always miss him especially when I sit down to write or record a song.

Thanks man! One of the few positive songs on that record... I really liked that one. May need to revive it! ~ Michael

> Smooth! The wah wah is especially neato.
Chris Mitchell, man. I can never give that dude enough props. He's just a killer guitar player, what else can I say?

Thanks, Alex! What a great compliment coming from such a talented musician as yourself! And yes, of course.... er, how far down the line? :-)

Oh, I'm a believer. I can't count the times I've seen music transcend the boundaries of time and space in just such a manner! :-)
Cheers!
Excellent! Reminds me of the mood of Neil Young's Dead Man soundtrack, but like Bethan said, more of an oriental feel... It conjured up an image in my mind of futuristic Ninjurais silently stealing into an ancient abandoned city from the cover of the encroaching jungle.
Funny story about the ending: my MacBook froze up while recording but I decided to keep hitting keys, and when it recovered I had that sparkly sound. It's probably my favourite thing I've ever accidentally created.
Comments on Cave Street's stuff
Dr. K. FN Jams...............Hard!!!
Extra coolness with some salt and pepper for flavor... I hear some harmonica in this.
I love the vocals here man. Perfect percussion too.
Silky smooth Duderino. Quite hypnotic. Awesome tone on the electric guitar.
This is wonderful.
Dedicated to Kurt Vonnegut
Beautiful vocal Michael.
Sucker for the trem guitar part. Great track.
Cool percussion here.
A beauty...
OK, I'm dancing, I'M DANCING!! :)

Loving this. I've not got the time right now, but I have to check out some more of you guys' stuff
Lovely song man!
Lovely, lilting and luscious!
