as far as I can remember you ruined November was a weather system I suppose you wanted the best of me in a penitentiary where there's no forgiveness I don't know if November's light would stay up past 5 well then I wouldn't mind…

my vision's blurry round the opening of your mouth and i'm not so sure it's sound that's coming out just take the time to form the consonants and vowels cause i'm not a lip reader never learned how not for lack of wanting mistaken vocab…

looking through the backwoods I heard that motor start I knew that you were leaving but I knew not very far coming up the driveway I knew it was my chance running through the backwoods we'll meet by happenstance looking at my kingdom which…

don't ask me out to a movie cause i'm not gonna go don't tell me you're having a party cause i already know it's an 80's theme i saw it in my stream but i didn't accept or decline i just said maybe and maybe means no maybe always means…

mixin' up a little bit of something special want to make you feel like we're in this together it'll make you larger than life from my pocket, roll the dice it suggests just what the next step is and knowing this makes me better throw…

was it something I said? a micro-expression you read? I'm not cold hearted, I'm just trying to understand I'm trying to understand understand it all between me and you there isn't much room to open my heart wide I'm trying to get that…

I like the word "Shellac" so I made a song about shellac, that's it. For this one I decided to play my old broken trash-picked drum kit instead of using MIDI drums. I spent about a week trying to fix that snare and if anything it sounds worse…

Ok, not really a djembe, just a plate, but I needed the alliteration for the song title. ©2024 by Geekido Music (Chris Cooke). All rights reserved. Recorded for the 2024 RPM Challenge.

This one was quite a journey! Robbie recorded the main guitar parts and a couple of vocal takes on his own, then invited the group to come up with additional parts. On 2/17, after we’d finished up recording a bunch of other stuff (including…

The title pretty much says it all. I recently got a Theremini, and this is me trying to figure it out. ©2024 by Geekido Music (Chris Cooke). All rights reserved. Recorded for the 2024 RPM Challenge.

I was hoping for more background noise, to be honest. I even went out and recorded just some background noise to mix it in. This is the epitome of "phoning it in". ©2024 by Geekido Music (Chris Cooke). All rights reserved. Recorded for the…

I'll leave it to the listener to decide if it's more of a bonus to listen to this track or skip it. This is more of the didgeridoo/Otamatone/Stylophone session. ©2024 by Geekido Music (Chris Cooke). All rights reserved. Recorded for the 2024…

This one was kind of a scatter-shot collaboration. Robbie was playing around with the guitar riff before band practice one night, so Kenny and I (Kevin) joined in on vocals and drums, respectively. Robbie recorded that jam, then fleshed out the…

This short track also spawned from Robbie’s “E Rock Jam”, though in a more roundabout way than Sugar Free Jam earlier on the album. On 2/17, we recorded John’s drum tracks for the full 5-minute song, then got a take of Cody playing keys along…

Another lovely Monroe/Robinson collaboration. This one was recorded piecemeal across the whole month of February 2024, with Robbie adding the guitar lead on 2/29 while I (Kevin) was doing the final(-ish) mixes! Leum Monroe – lyrics Robbie…

Everything was recorded live off the floor except the harmony vocal track, which was added a couple of weeks later. Margaret Bibb – lyrics, songwriting, vocals Robbie Robinson – guitar Kevin Craig – recording, bass, mixing These Old Boots…

Toward the end of the month, I (Kevin) got a wild hair to try something silly with Robbie’s sweet little acoustic ditty about the cycle of the seasons, which lets us end the album on a sweet and hopeful note. Hope you like it! Robbie Robinson…

A very dystopian track...

You know that road...

Jus a little groove.

That satisfactory feeling after all the hard work is done.

Some memories of an easy sky and an easy day.

Sometimes ya gotta remember life is a verb.

Louder is better, more better, best-est.

The mischievous hungry tech pirates at it again.

VCV Rack patch reacting to an audio field recording. Cheers to Omri Cohen for the excellent patch walkthrough!

Built an Omri Cohen patch idea in VCV Rack, recorded a couple of takes, then edited and arranged the results in Reaper.

I've been waiting for you.

When did we all just decide?

I'm going off with my mind half-cocked.

A true dream.
