You can't leave my head.

The day it was all supposed to end.

Without you, the chase, the adrenaline, there is nothing.

The light can be too blinding sometimes.

Trying to hurt those you wish would just look at you.

A classic done with my pal Roger Foster (Zincshed)

Not a very good song, especially not a very good mix. It's okay though. Well... except for the crap vocals. Guitars are all Les Paul Standard. Pedals are all Analog Man King of Tone. Amp on the rhythm tracks is a Vox MV50's direct output…

This might have been the fastest mix I've ever been a part of. That might be because there's nothing really going on here. I probably should have raised the vocals a smidge though, but I am really down on my singing ability these days. All…

June 17th, Leum brought to the studio a lovely, plaintive reflection on lost love. He recorded a solid first take, accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, then invited the rest of us to fill out the production as we saw fit. Margaret added some…

Leum Monroe - Lyrics, songwriting, vocals, acoustic guitar Mike Anders - Vocals, acoustic guitar Matt Appleberry - Electric guitar Kenny Tannehill - Bass, background vocals Nick Peshman - Recording Kevin Craig - Drums, recording, mixing

The next time you get an idea to experiment with 5/8 time........ don't. The rhythm guitar tracks are my Les Paul into an Analog Man King of Time into a Vox MV50. I think the leads are the same but I forgot to write it down on the Trello card…

I really have lost whatever tiny amount of singing ability I used to have, right? Who knew that my vocal skills were dependent on not losing a ton of weight. I didn't see that coming. This is a rare example of a song that I like more after…

I can't sing to save my life anymore. This was the first of 10 songs I started for a June 2023 Album in a Month project and it was the last song I finished. Probably because it is not good at all. All of the guitars are a Les Paul standard…

Last-minute effort at the end of a busy, busy month. Recorded the drums at the studio on 6/17, then added MIDI piano parts (taken from the EZ Keys library, not my own fingers!) and live bass just before the REM Challenge deadline for June. Whew!

thumbjam loop midi file opened in musescore 4 and split layered and rendered like this to mp3..

Original song about a liminal moment in a healing journey; the persistent feeling of being existentially lost, even while supported by an abundance of resources. +++ TWO ASTROLOGERS I got two astrologers I got google calendars Late night…
