Written for the April 2020 RPM mini-challenge. I hoped for an EP and ended up with a single song. The song is largely recorded on a T25 mic I built for Brian of A Beautiful Scene as a means to test the mic. It's pretty solid if you ask me…
This song is great, I didn't understand it at first but after a listen through some of your songs and reading a couple of forums on RPM this is one of the most fantastic things I have heard.
One thing I like about covers is turning a song on its head, so that's what I did with this tune from the great ABS album "The Far Side Of Paradise". I hope I made Lane proud.
Brian of A Beautiful Scene wrote an amazing tune for the 2020 A Beautiful Scene RPM record and I couldn't get it out of my head. I hope I did it justice.

This song perfectly encapsulates the feeling towards writing music, especially for RPM. Even with it's light humour, it still has a weight to it that commands an emotional response for all of those who have written a catalogues worth of songs. Well done Tim!

I love Wilsun's 2020 RPM album "Departure", so I decided to cover it (yes, the whole album), but with a twist. I found some bits to be repetitive, so I removed them. I wrote down the lyrics and chords, and promptly ignored the originals, making…

When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
No im not happy and no im not sad, no im not good but i know im not bad. No i wont go there, but no i wont stay, no im not straight but no im not gay, no need to tell me i know im not right, no happy endings and no end in sight. I got no way of…
What a nice surprise to hear this morning! Something fun and different from Alex. Excellent work.
+1 for the Poi Dog meets Dylan comment. That's pretty spot on. = )
Oh hai. This is Bryce!
I have a cold today, but on the brightside I conjured up a song!
Yes :3 I do realize the vocals are a tad quiet; I apologize for this! The next song will be better. I promise you that.

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. = )

Right on!
Nice! This rocks!
This is such a great song, Tim.
Awesome outro.
Always such great stuff Tim!!!!
this is very very nice.
Yup. This is my favorite so far - but you likely knew I'd like this one best when you recorded it.
This song is great, I didn't understand it at first but after a listen through some of your songs and reading a couple of forums on RPM this is one of the most fantastic things I have heard.
Horray! I didn't realise you'd uploaded this corking album, obviously love this track. Pepsi and I were singing it for weeks. :)
Lane says "meh" But I bet my Mom likes it better than my track, so you get points there.
Love the new mix! Nailed those "slidey" guitar parts!

Wonderfully done Tim!
You have a great voice.
Good one. Love the lyrics.
Quite beautiful indeed! Nice dig on cover this particular one!
Loose, messy, weird, and fun. You nailed it! One of the funnest tracks I've heard in a long time. Well done!
Killer good!!!
Fun!
Haha haha! It really is Boy’s don’t cry. Great cover!

Alex hit it out of the park on this one, taking a great song and making it even better.
I love the push-pull of this song.
Damn, Andy. Just damn. You're operating on a whole different level, as usual.
There's something to be said for embracing the nonsense. Too many musicians takes themselves far too seriously. Great work.
This is radio-ready, and better than 99% of what you hear out of signed bands. Seriously.... I should give up after hearing this. Just brilliant.
These new songs are really strong. Keep it up!
Most excellent work, my friend! I love the 60's vibe.
Excellent work, gentlemen.
This is just brilliant, Brian. A nifty little acoustic gem hidden amongst your louder songs.
This song brought the house down at the RPM listening party in Portsmouth. Radio ready. Not sort of. Ready now.
The knee-bucking harmony leads into a Spiders From Mars-style glam riff? So good, it's practically unfair.
GF channels Cheap Trick and sets the Alonetone power pop bar just a wee bit higher for the rest of us.
You out-did me on the new wave vibe. Awesome job!

This is a tremendous song. It reminds me of The Cure circa 1986. I do wish the vocals were a bit more prevelant, though.
A really great live version of one of my favorites from Sunny, sorta...
Has anyone ever told you that you sound like Robyn Hitchcock? Cool stuff!

Holy crap, Clarke! You've been hiding a gem like this from me! Great 80's vibe.
Hah! What a fabulous song to start my day with! Great work, Colin.
