I decided to try a few different things this year for RPM. This is the single (along with a b-side to make a playlist) I'm using to show I completed RPM. All told I had six songs and could have listed an EP, but the songs all need a bit more…

If you're watching, you know. If not, stay away from the elevator. It has a certain appeal Disconnecting from half of your life Getting through the day by forgetting who you are No need to find a way Not remembering all that went wrong…

I needed to keep the streak alive. 15 years of RPM. But life has been in the way. Considerably. It's not worth getting into, but music is currently so far down the priority list it's not even funny. But I found time on the 28th to…

It's a b-side song for RPM 2024, mostly because I needed a second song in order to create a playlist here. I need a b-side songs for the flip side A b-side song to prove that I tried To put in the effort, to get things done To try to…

A second ghost story, but of a different sort. Once again in Hungarian Minor.

It's October and that means time for ghost stories. This one came out of a couple of songs posted last month in Hungarian Minor. I found that to be a spooky scale, so I built on it for a couple of songs this month.

You wouldn't know if from my uploads over the last few months, but I rarely record covers, mostly because you hear what's WRONG, not what's RIGHT. But I had a theme of Earth, Wind, & Fire for September, so I decided to take on a huge song…

I've been obsessed with this song since I watched a Rick Beato video that called out how the awesome guitar solo was criminally buried in the mix. Plus, it's yacht rock, and if there's one thing I love, it's yacht rock. So I set out to record…

You came for the Earth. You stayed for the Wind. That gets you the Fire. Tim - a voice Andy - a guitar Jarrett - A lotta voices, a lotta drums, and a fine, fine, FINE imitation of Michael McDonald.

A quick and dirty acoustic cover of one of my favorite songs of 2023. Is it the greatest thing ever? Nah. But it was a fun and quick record and I did the whole thing with a SM7b, which I've neve done before. A hat tip to you if you pronouce…

The August 2023 30 Day Songs prompt came from a list of ChatGPT country song names a friend posted to Facebook. I started off trying to make fun of the genre and instead wrote a song I think I sorta like. Rumor is there's a second mix floating…

The B-side for my July 30DaySongs submission is a cover of a tune I've loved since it came out way back in 1982. Wilsun has been having a rough go if it lately and I recorded this to hopefully cheer him up for a bit.

Sometimes a joke gets out of hand. This one is some combination of many many MANY inside jokes from the group on the RPMChallenge slack group, aka Conference of Mayors or Church of England, depending on the project. The shortest version is that…

Marz and I love Crowded House. We were feeling ambitious and took on one of our favorites for the June 30 Day Songs submission. Tim - guitars, voices, other noises Marz - vocals and lead guitar Jarrett Osborn - drums

A work in progress sketch, but it qualifies as a b-side for 30 Day Songs. It will be bigger the next time you hear it and the vocal might not be a hasty first take.

Tim played and sang everything Another cover for the May 30 Day Songs project (https://30daysongs.com). This has always been one of my favorite songs and I saw that Ben Kweller's album "Sha Sha" is turning 20 this year. I needed a b…

Tim - guitars, voices, and other noises Marz - vocals and lead guitar Megan Kleven - backing vocals Marz and I have know one another for over ten years now, but we've never actually recorded anything where we sang together until now. We…

I needed a b-side for my 30 Day Songs contribution for April (https://30daysongs.com - come join us!), but I ran out of time, so I used the age-old cop out and produced an instrumental version of the song I was working on. I'll do better next time.

I decided to cover one of Jarrett's songs. Word to the wise - it's harder than you think. Dude uses a lot of inversions and weird chords. So, being me, I kinda-sorta figured out the chords, but not quite, then took to creating my own song that…

Were you guys aware that I'm a Beatles fan? Because, well.... I am. I don't want you to come too close I don’t need you to break the rules Don't try to play my game It’s not what you should do I don’t think we can be friends I don…
