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…
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.
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…

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.
A song about missing my wife when I travel.
lyrics
After all this time it comes down to this
You still excite me with every kiss
And every time you go away, I have to say
It makes for quite a long day
I hate it when I’m away from you…
The last place you can go in any time zone is Howland Island.
Can’t get this out of my head
The last words that you said
Tried to make you stay
Still you went away
You think you understand
But you’re just a man
This thing is bigger…
We try to include a song about a donkey on each record. This is a factually accurate tale of Romulus, the world's tallest donkey.
lyrics
Romulus is 12 years old and 17 hands
At 5 foot 8 he’s taller than Oklahoma Sam
The world’s tallest donkey…
Pop music. Dance songs. Sub bass. Lovely ladies in Cornwall singing along. What more could you want?
lyrics
This is the least impressive dance song
You’ve heard out on the dance floor
But as you listen to it
You want MORE MORE MORE…
The last place you can go in any time zone is Howland Island.
Can’t get this out of my head
The last words that you said
Tried to make you stay
Still you went away
You think you understand
But you’re just a man
This thing is bigger…

A chance to try something different. Tim deconstructed a Spoon song and then created his own tune using the same structure.
lyrics
She says she knows the whisper number
The one that she shouldn’t know
The words are hiding just under her…
Someone has to clean up this mess. Sometimes it's me.
lyrics
Look at me
Large and in charge, taking down names
The way to be
In control of every part of your little game
Getting things done
you don’t have to like my method or tack…

Oh my god Tim!! This Is amazing. My next project is less rappy.. as in no rap.. u know, what you know me for. Would you com on board?!?!?!
I can't believe how good this is I really can't. Who/Kinks ish.

This is my contribution to the Angie Fights Crime project titled "Sunny Sorta"...." It's 12 songs written by A.F.C. and performed by 12 different artists.
I chose Honky Tonk Prison because I knew it would rock and roll :)
So CRANK IT UP…
Well, this may be the final tweaking of this nice little sing along song...
I sent this fun little sing along off to Jim of MTC fame, and once again he has outdone himself... And I can't thank him and his wife (who appears covertly) enough…

If i thought i needed more it'd be for selfish reasons
If i didn't think that i had it all i'd be kidding myself
So whats ever left out there it's for your taking
Remember…
Sassy Nation version!
Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…
A fun childrens tune from 2008, it really ought to be a hot fiddle tune but i don't have a hot fiddle.
Old fox coming down the road now Bunny Bunny
Run Run Bunny Bunny Go
White tails bobbing in the air there funny bunny
Go Go Bunny Bunny Run…
Another wacky production from the stretchy, bouncy, and elastic world of Rubber. Special thanks to Mark (Launched) for writing this one for us.
We had a whole bunch of fun with this song and you will too.
Enjoy!

Just another cover of one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite musicians. Yes, the entire song is written in haiku. I'm not really sure how she does it, but Sam can make words dance.
Just a basic dance track because its just fun to bounce around sometimes. Also another excuse to use a growly bass sound... a "60 Hz Hum Bass" soundfont I had clearly neglected for too long.
Ever since i heard Cave Street's Creator Protector Destroyer (from their 2010 RPM album) run from that song back into the opening didj of Onion Bell (the first track) i wanted to put the lyrics to that pulsing energy, and today i had time to give…

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!
Very nice! Great vox and band sound.
Cool tune with the ukulele and great vocals...
Good....No! Great!
And finally, the donkey song. I was getting worried.
I love this, except that I can't get it out of my head. I keep wanting...more
I really like this number.
I'm a sucker for a good uke tune
I hear the Mojo Nixon influence here, in the best possible way
Tim Wainright III!! Love it.
Swallowed that riff whole. Now I'm cool as f___. So good. Fair on fire chappy.
The drums are so killer on this one
Oh my god Tim!! This Is amazing. My next project is less rappy.. as in no rap.. u know, what you know me for. Would you com on board?!?!?! I can't believe how good this is I really can't. Who/Kinks ish.
Very nice, Tim. Very nice.
You need help. I'm glad you're not getting it.

A rockin' shuffle with that awesome harmonica. Oh yeah!
Nicely done. The extra instruments and voices really bring a lot to the track.
Beautiful, understated guitar work. This is a really lovely song. You've achieved what I keep trying to do, and you've done very well with it.
This reminds me of the Slowvol record from last year. Great stuff.
I really like the guitar work here, particularly as you come out of the chorus.
This is why we love Stu. Great work all around.
Just freaking brilliant.
Another brilliant job. Nice work, Stu.
This is seriously messed up, and I mean that in the best possible way.
Two of my favorite artists in one song! Great job, Keith!
Oh yeah! I'm all over this one. Nice work. Now I just have to figure out how to cover it to fit in my "party" theme of late. = )
Very very cool.
My favorite line: "And the river's a safer bet, because the sharks are smaller." I love that.
Wow. You did a much better job with her songs than I did. Nice work. I really like the transition into Rest.
Another fine job, Mr. Landry.
Another brilliant track. Just amazing. Excellent musicianship and a stellar vocal performance.
Hah! This is great! I'll have to say, this is not a song I figured anyone would ever cover. = ) Nice work.
HAND CLAPS!!!!! Most excellent!!!
Sweet harmonies. Lovely.
I love the toy piano!
