Another for the RPM Reg got to thinking again ......
Shes a shaker
She’s a movie star
Blue eyes black skin like coal tar
Shes a vision on the big screen
She is everybodys movie queen
Made up on a keyboard
Chalked out on a blackboard…
Another for the RPM Challenge ...Reg woke up feeling a little pessimistic and started to ask himself the big question...
What does it all mean
The preacher spent his life building churches out of stone
Making money to…
Sometimes Reg gets a little TOO pessimistic to leave me feeling comfortable... but I love where here was going on this one. Hopefully someone bought him a beer or a bar of chocolate after this one.
Sometimes songwriting is easy sometimes its just all noise…..
Sometimes its just all noise
I’ve got this pocket book with a story of my world
With Words misspelt
words misunderstood and
Rhymes that will not work
Chords to a theory…
Trying to pump these out. Here's my next RPM song. When in doubt I just start harmonizing to whatever I write. I don't use any software to do harmonies - I prefer the old fashioned natural method because I love harmonizing to everything I hear…
Another song for my RPM challenge. I wrote this while improvising at the piano - a standard Jazzy chord progression I often play around with. I added some silly lyrics and called it a song (no time to waist here!). Thanks for the listen. People…
Yeah, I'm with you on this... (though, I will admit, if someone does manage to drag me there, I do, invariably, enjoy myself, a little bit, anyway... LOL). Love the piano playing.
For my January 2026 REM Drone Orchestra contribution, topic of "reverb and effects", in the key of G mixolydian pentatonic (G, B, C, D, F), I made a new preset on the Deluge, played it live, and post-processed in Audacity. The preset uses an analog…
True story…
It’s sad when the good ones die
enough to make bad ones cry
But everybody seems to be doing their share.
But then again what about you?
Is there nothing you can do…to show a bunch of strangers you really do care.
(Chorus…
Another one for Steve, our amazing bass player….a BIG Planet of the Apes fan.
I never followed Those movies, but he assures me that he’s kept within the bounds of the narrative.
-Lyrics…
In 1987, Ronn (drummer), Daphne (vocals and lyrics), and Paul (guitar and bass) wrote a few songs. Well, almost 40 years ago. It's a bit of slowcore and sadcore music. Or should we call it "religious" slowcore? Anyway, give it a name... The old…
Reg Rotton and Kari (Redlar) live in the cellar
Aint got nothing but love and that won’t do w/ Kari
Can’t work
Can’t eat
Can’t sleep
Living life on a slag heap
Their Ain’t nothing I can do
I’m out of work and I’ve got no dough
Got…

2026 RPM Challenge idea number one becomes finished song number 13.
The word of the day is: Padding. I had this thought that the songs this year should all be on the long side. This one fit the bill. It could probably stand to have the run…
HEAR MY FINAL SONG
Most were drinkin', four were playin' cards
Two were dancin', one he played guitar
He was singin' how she broke his heart
Some were smokin', smoke rings filled the air
One was flirtin', playin' with her hair
He was…
