A memory of my dear friend and neighbor who recently passed away. He served in the Third Army in WWII. This song is pretty much every conversation we ever had about the war in fourteen years.
Featuring the angelic Meg Radley on vocals.
A trip back to the 80's, living out our Duran Duran dreams.

People love songs about donkeys, but they also like to hear about monkeys.

It's much like something a Psychedelic '60s band might have come up with, both lyrically and musically, and it also happens to be my favorite genre of music. Trippy, far out, and groovy, man! Carry on!

I want to build your toys
I want to be the one who makes
Presents for the girls and boys

As we wrap up our work on our 2013 RPM album "How The Story Goes", we figured we'd leak an early track. Enjoy our country drinking song.

Instead I was drinking
And now I'm left here all alone C - G…
A pop song, featuring far more keyboard work than normal for me.
F - Am - Dm - C
Words are like numbers
And numbers like words
There are these patterns
In the sounds that you heard
You must complete it
Finish the phrase
Close out the cycle…
Ukulele. That is all.
Take me at my word
And get me to the church on time
I always do what I promise
I'll be there to say "I do"
And spend the rest of my life with you
I always do what I promise
And I do
It all for you
And if you ask
I'll do…

The cover I did off Uglifruit's 2010 RPM submission. The drums are a pair of hotrod sticks, that I made, hitting my keyboard table. The "kick drum is the stick hitting the pop screen while the mic was on.
I still need to fade...
Inspired by the book Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks. An earworm (or brainworm as Sacks espouses) is that catchy melody that sticks in your brain that you just can't shake.
This is a cover of a song by Sister Savage, from her kickin' 2010 RPM Challenge album, Juped 2k10. It also introduces the genre of acoustic crossdressed spacecheese (these damn kids today with their flying cars and their hyperspecialized genres…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode

You need to film a video for this song. Imagine the possibilities! Great job on the album Tim, well done!
Nice job on this one Tim!
Another crowd pleasing slab of Dad Rock right here. Fun track!

Haunting. Beautiful.
Impressive. I like what you did with the drum work and the guitar is really pretty.
This is about 24 kinds of cool. Well done.
Wow. Just wow. This just draws me in and mesmerizes me.
Oh yeah! Great bit of moodiness and I really dig the instrumental breaks.
Nice job. I really like the guitar work.
Absolutely wonderful job, Keith. Your version is better than mine. And thanks for adding the much-need bridge lyrics!
The first 17 seconds of this song is everything I want to do when I make music.
Stunning. Just absolutely beautiful. Wonderful work, Richard.
OH MY! This is SO MUCH FUN! You took a great song and put a tremendous spin on it. Well done!
Absolutely lovely. Wonderful guitar work.
I'm really digging the "bop bop bop". All great pop songs should have hand claps and "bop bop bop"!
