Same tracks, updated mixes

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.

This was another fun one for me, especially doing the backing vocals. The song is a bit haphazard, structurally speaking, and my performance has some technical issues, but it was just fun to play. The riff came to me early one, but kept elluding…

Ok, so on this one I wear my influences on my sleeve. This is one that quickly went in one direction so I decided to ride it to the maximum. I still like the words to this one. I'm no Costello (Elvis) but I did ok here.

Well, this is why I don't play drums. It's the best Moon I could pull off. I keep hammering the gtr riff over and over, but it's because it was so much fun to play. Its structure is a little too meandering in hindsight, but oh well. For whatever…

One of my first favorite songs...I had this idea floating around for years, even tried it with the band in late 98-99. This 2001 recording comes closest to capturing what I hear in my head.

Come join me on this sonic joyride...I'm Saved

This one is a classic case of "Chasing The Demo". In other words, I am not happy with it. The demo versions had a ton more feel and groove. This one sounds rushed and doesn't do the song justice. Oh well, such is life when you are on a budget…

The close friend of mine who helped engineer this session said my gtr sounded like a swarm of angry bees. That's the best compliment I can think of. This was a mayhem producer when played live. I barely was able to keep it together in the studio…

Probably one of my better gtr riffs/rhythm parts in those days. The song is always borderline going off the tracks...but it was fun to play live.
