I wanted to compose something that sounded like a real band improvising - the virtual bassist made too many trips to a virtual Dunkin Donuts before the virtual jam session and was virtually bouncing off the virtual walls of the DAW.

Um - yeah. There are a few naughty words - many apologies.
This is a bonus track -- unless I can't think of a legitimate track 10. If so, then this is both the highlight and crowning achievement of the album, and I totally intended it to be.

This one is all gimmick but I like it. I think it has album track one potential, but I'm not sure yet.

This was a problem child.. The other tracks fell together quickly but this was a slow burn. The chorus is far more uplifting than the verse - which reminds me of a melancholy hybrid of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the outro to the 70s British…

My dad used to play the beginning riff of this song when he could still play guitar. I've always wanted to do something with it. The message in this song is to stay positive even in times of turmoil. And that it is ok to do nice things for others…

I don't like this one. I had a really hard time singing it so I buried the vocal tracks in sauce and tried to forget they were there. I had a bridge section that I wrote lyrics for but I couldn't pull off the vocal. I turned it into guitarmonies…

Urgh, this song. Destined to be last on the April RPM Challenge album, not because it's a good closing number, but because it's crap and everyone will have stopped listening before they get this far.

This one has potential but I don't think I pulled it off. It uses a gimmick I used once already this month where the drums are playing in one time signature (in this case it's 6/8) and the rest of the band is playing in another (7/8). I like…
