I recorded this one to a dimming flashlight on the 25th after a windstorm took out my power. I couldn't see the lyrics anymore so I ad libbed and hummed the rest out. My recording device is battery operated, which is cool.
This predicament…
A little scratch track from a few months ago. A song about the trials and tribulations of being 11 years old. Watching Six Million Dollar Man, dodging bullies and pretending our bicycles were Harleys.
I was at a friends house and saw a little…
Finally getting to this song Mark. Are you teh man or what? This is really deadly. I find this to be a very serious song, killer. I love the lyrics, the part about the doggies in heaven, thats the deal. Its as real as it gets. Real, real real. Great song Mark.

:D There's always something to eat right there in the woods, where Mother Nature intended it to be. Just stay away from the mushrooms....
actually...it depends on what kind of mushrooms. hehe. A study found that shrooms can actually help with anxiety. I think u know which ones I mean....

Second listening. Still like it. I've never been an eleven year old boy, but I have two boys, so I think I've seen them in this moment. Love when the guitar comes in. Love the vocals, too.
Wish I could write songs like this when I'm drunk. Hmmm... maybe I need to start drinking more. Excellent acoustic jam. This one has a sort of Adam Sandler feel to it. I think it's a combination of your voice and the lyrics. Well done!
Coolest song I ever heard. And to think that you nailed it on the first take! I was laughing through-out the song (well, except the part about your dog getting the blue tongue - I almost cried at that part).
Yes - I love it! The strum is very addictive, and the light percussion works very well. Excellent vox, but could be a little higher in the mix, though.

2010 RPM Challenge
This is the song that helped start my acoustic journey!
My humble acoustic version:

You rock, bro!
Mark
After I read into RPM and understood that anybody could take the challenge, I joined up. I'm starting with a clean slate, so I hope I can finish! This a WIP of the first tune I'm working on. Everything I do will be recorded/produced with the Boss…
Ha, that's funny Bethan - I just finished reading "Down and out in Paris and London" and thought "Instead of meeting up with an old friend, how about an old flame?"
Lyrics I have so far:
Been traveling my crooked way
My feelings like
An unleashed dog on the run
I've roamed a mile in those shoes
I'm really glad
Those sidewalkin' days are done
When I look at you
The peace flag flies
And I want to call you the one
But those eyes are devious, girl
You remember when
We had our days in the sun
By no means the first song that popped out. It's just the first one I'm calling done beyond a remix. I think this will wind up leading in to a metal tune and will likely be shorter.
This is the first tune for my 2010 RPM Challenge.
A bit short...my first attempt earlier in the evening (completely different tune) I ended up scrapping at 1:30 a.m., so this one was done in just a few minutes...
Written and Recorded: Feb…

Yeah, I do the same thing with vox - It's a job to "hide" them a little, but bring them out at the same time. Really cool tune.
Another listen - Really enjoyed this one!
Yes - I love it! The strum is very addictive, and the light percussion works very well. Excellent vox, but could be a little higher in the mix, though.
Oh, yeah, I dig!
Really cool soundscape - brilliant!
Yes - I love it!
Awesome and cool at the same time!
Big time cool! I'd like to be off the planet, let alone be off the map!
I could play this one all day. And the "scuba" bass is killer!

This is working out great - A metal tune connected with this vibe will be killer.
Yes - I love it!
This was a tease! I really loved the groove you had going... And then... Cool!
I feel the intensity - And it gets stronger as the song progresses. Really cool.
I'm thinking more Pixies meet Smashing Pumpkins, but I could be wrong! Cool tune.
Mechanically organic! I could set this one on repeat for a while. Super cool!
I feel it!
Yes - I love it.
