I don't know how old y'all are, but you're playing the style of Rock I grew up loving, and I'm 54. If y'all are indeed my age, I'm glad arthritis hasn't stopped you yet! Rock the Hell on!
Reminds me of some early Black Sabbath/Deep Purple/Grand Funk Railroad-style "slow jammin'." I dig how y'all synch together. I hope your band much deserved success. But you're aiming at an audience that's mostly a ways over 30 -- today's music buyers want Hip Hop and Industrial. :(
Your keyboardist really is the glue that keeps y'all together. I mean, the guitar is sweet and mean, the bass is steady, the drummer is tight, but that keyboard is happening!
Second song by Martin Fox
Was on a Pete Townshend kick lately. this one came to me as i was listening to the random recordings on my phone. still not happy with the vocal mix. we spent a lot of time tweaking too.
Having wrote a song myself called "Last Night," I had to check out yours. I'm with Greg on the bounce and Fat Burrito on the harmony. Can definitely discern a "The Who" influence, and that's just far out groovy.
Second side opener by Martin fox
This chord progression came to me in a pre-rpm jam and we instantly nailed the feel. The words came easy too. Another five piece number. The words are about my loved ones i have lost and my feelings about our…

First side closer by Kent Good.
This song was recorded our first session of the month. We were playing as a five piece and i really love the sound. This is one of KGs best song to date.
Fourth song by Martin Fox
My first shot at really going for it on vocals. dont know if i quite hit the bullseye. this song is a modern internet love/revenge tale .
Opening song by Kent Good. We played pretty good in Feb. We are not "chops" players, but i think we rocked this one pretty good.This song will evolve a bit as we break it in live.

beatlesy/Whosy.. cheeky little number. Great song. Massively tempting to have a go at a cover. May have to if it doesn't leave my brain voluntarily soon!

Final version
Day 28
Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.
i held off listening to too many of your demos so i could just sit down and have my mind totally blown at one time. and it is. your one of most talented fellows doing this free music stuff. your last two rpm's are in a master class that has few members.
Final version
An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…
Reg has left re-hab but now he has to fill those sober hours with something, so he has taken to people watching, but like everything in his life he has become addicted to it, listening in on there private conversation as he follows them, watching…
very entertaining words. love the line about the womens clothes. addictive personalities always have their latest "thing". once again great album. regards, M.F.
thanks for being such a great listener on alonetone. thetworegs are a living part of this site. your music is so very inspirational and incredibly dynamic. awesome RPM!
Reworked the vocals a bit (quite a bit). And yet again! And now, Gumbo Stu is singing backup bits. Thanks for the vocals Gumbo, a very welcome addition!
And, as requested, here are the lyrics:
I'm Not Afraid
You can blow me up

RPM 2011 - my first track recorded and the opening track for the CD
A kind of Old Time gospel number, which, if you listen to those pre-war guitar playing preachers, are virtually indistinguishable from blues. Except for the lyrics…

RPM 2011 number 2. Inspired by an ex-friend of mine who had the most dazzling rose tinted glasses. Always used to envy the simplicity of his view and how nothing could ever get to him (everything gets to me).. since i knew him I know a lot of…
I hear you
Calling my name
Like a whisper
And a scream
You haunt me
Forever
Twist your arms
Around my neck
In a dead embrace
Locked with love
You haunt me
You haunt me
I tore the paper
From the walls
To see what
Was underneath
You left no…
It enters us
Without us knowing
Not welcome
Uninvited
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me peace
Let me rest
Eat us from the inside
Bit by bit
Cell by cell
Multiplying
Taking over
Invaded
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me peace
Let…
Comments on Dirty Spirits's stuff
Its got the swang of 'dirty dirty' by crazy horse. Which is one of my all time favourites (used to be my ringtone). This is in every way on a par
Then it switches to the perfect world - Love it!
Modern Neil - Awesome!!

This jam has that classic flavor that I just eat up. It would have been a hit at the 1st Woodstock. Hendrix would have wanted to get in on this one.
Reminds me of some early Black Sabbath/Deep Purple/Grand Funk Railroad-style "slow jammin'." I dig how y'all synch together. I hope your band much deserved success. But you're aiming at an audience that's mostly a ways over 30 -- today's music buyers want Hip Hop and Industrial. :(
DIG! Late '60s garage grunge meats mid '80s hardcore punk! Cool lyrics. Groovy music. GREAT FUN -- awesome drum solo! Rock on!
Your keyboardist really is the glue that keeps y'all together. I mean, the guitar is sweet and mean, the bass is steady, the drummer is tight, but that keyboard is happening!
Dig. Sweet picking at the end. I'm DTD about the length - I could have stood a few more seconds of that. It was just getting juicy!
Having wrote a song myself called "Last Night," I had to check out yours. I'm with Greg on the bounce and Fat Burrito on the harmony. Can definitely discern a "The Who" influence, and that's just far out groovy.
Choice grooves! Would love to hear your sound recorded as a mix-down of multi-trax through something like Cool Edit Pro.
Dig those bass lines!
How many guitar-layers are you using fro this song? Damn, the sound quality is top-notch on this! awesome.
Trippy! Very cool vocals. A colorful, groovy combination of sounds. Tasty and fuzzy -- I dig music I can see, taste and feel. Rock on!
A good side one......
i think you hit it....
lgood start.....
I really like the tempo on this tune. Vocals are spot on and I'm digging the chord progression. Enjoyed!
