My first RPM cover of 2011. This one is "Like This" by The Missed Connections. I seem to have taken a darker turn with the song than Amelia did. It wasn't intentional, but it seems to be what I do when I cover her songs.
@Mischief - are you referring to the backing vox? That's all me. 2 guitars, bass, Addictive Drums, and 4-5 voices.
I assume "steezy" is something good. = )
Chester Arthur was the president
But no one remembers him
What about you?
He served a term with no vice president
And no one resident
To tell him what to do
He came to office by a bullet's grace
Garfield lost his place
And Arthur took…

A very strange spy story, co-written by Keith Landry. We were trying for wacky. We succeeded.
Raised in the Ozarks in witness protection, his parents turned on the mob
As a boy, he loved "We Are the World," now saving it is his job
A master…

A true story about some of my odd dreams
If the world's strongest man
Could hold the world in the palm of his hand
Would he crush us all into dust?
As a way to punish us
These are the kind of things
That seem to occupy me
If a giant…

Brian from A Beautiful Scene sent me the lyrics to his song and said "Do what you want." The lyrics really intrigued me, and I wanted the song to have the rainbow tone palette of colors and sounds that I suspect is the backdrop mentally to his…
My cover of Letter Seventeen's "Who Will Pay", a great song you should also listen to the original version of. Tim sent me the chords and lyrics and said "Interpret as you will." So I did, and here it is.
I'm so glad you finally posted this tremendous version of my song. Your interpretation blows my original out of the water. Thanks for honoring me with this great recording.
Written and recorded as part of our family RPM project this year. :-D
13 year old Jasmine on vocals and ukulele.
We wrote and recorded 10 songs under the name Cattica. It was just the best month of lockdown imaginable.
Wow. That was really great. Thanks for recording this. There's something special about hearing your own song played back through someone else's perspective.
This is a cover of L17's cover of WIlsuns Album Departure. I took out all of the unnecessary bits and the starts and stops. It was like Covering Wilsun's 8 songs, then Tim's eight songs, but also Tim's one big song... Making this like.. 17 covers…
This is a remarkable piece of art. Using the drums from Boys Don't Cry is an inspired bit of brilliance....
And bonus points for the emotional yelling in Goodbye. :)
Cover off of Letter Seventeen's 2020 RPM album. Tried to do the opposite of imitating him, imitating someone else. This was one of the most time consuming songs I have ever done. I manually gated the Kick and Toms which takes a long time(and is…
This is truly wonderful and is a brilliant reinterpretation of our song. In particular, I love the little bit where you double time the kick in the chorus.
A song about my cat, who like many cats can be a total pain in the ass. All things described in this song are true.
Recorded to tape for the RPM Challenge 2019, remastered Oct 2019.
I was expecting a remix of the Conference Of Mayors tune from a couple of years go, but instead got to hear you sing about “touching the love”. Awesome!
This is not about choosing sides, it's about being disillusioned and angry. Feels good to shout behind loud guitars. Thanks Steve Litras for the guitar solo.

Hey Tim, I love it! The next Christmas classic!! Susan
Cute. :) I love the guitar solo!
Great work with this one!
@Mischief - are you referring to the backing vox? That's all me. 2 guitars, bass, Addictive Drums, and 4-5 voices. I assume "steezy" is something good. = )
:D this is awesome! I love it :) The acoustics are awesome!
Are those synths you're using? Your voice is steezy as hell <3 loving it. (I dig the Domo picture too)
Hi Tim! :) This tune is how I met you! Still love it.
Pretty cool!
Nice song, nice performance! Good power-pop guitar sound.
very Strokes-ish guitar...nice
Can I double heart this? Fantastic!
Tight!
Cool my friend! Agree crispy crunchy guitar sound. And what a neat idea for the project form Angie F.C.! Ted / Atlanta Trash Collective
Wow, brilliant job! Great vocal and I love the guitar work. Cracking song!
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant Tim. EARWORM.
Great guitar sound, nice song.
Ha! First one in on this nugget of goodness!
Love those guitar tones! I had a G.I. Joe when I was a kid....LOL LG
Most excellently produced piece! LG
Trancey! what a lovely groove. Dark? Dusky perhaps ....

Check out Mr. Blue-Eyed Soul!
This is my favorite song on the record. Yeah.
Such a joy - combining Brian's great writing with Gary's remarkable musical perspective. Just a lovely song.

Great work, Drew. Your vocals are just perfect and I love the left/right guitar effect.
Oooh. Pretty!
This is a lot better than my version. Awesome work! FWIW the title is "In The Eye". :P
So lovely. She has an amazing sweetness to her voice.
This is awesome, Alex. I've missed hearing your voice. Excellent work!

You guys knocked it out of the park here.

Living with cats, I can relate.
Keep having fun and keep drumming, Henry. This is a really great song!

Love the harmony bit in the chorus.
Great work, Brian. Nice, mellow groove and I like all of the flourishes.
This is better than roughly 75% of the music produced by RPM participants each year. Henry's already almost as good as his dad.... :)
Yowza. Missed this the first time around. Awesome work!
