Grunge tribute.

Not a song but a demonstration of an audio effect, that might be useful if you're putting a horror film together or something of that sort. Assuming I remember the terms correctly, my voice was wired into the vocoder as the modulator and a Thor…

piano/strings/drum/bass, short --- I feel kinda upset. My schedule the past 2 days has been getting jacked up by other things, so I seem to end up in the studio in the midst of an energy dip (granted, if I were eating/sleeping better, I shouldn…

I haven’t written something that was pure piano since the 18th. I went into today’s session with the intention of writing something solely on piano, since I’ve had a couple of really draining sessions lately (mostly due to the fact that I managed…

Piano may be easier to write on, but some days it’s really difficult to record on. I only need one good take. And since this is going in as MIDI, “one good take” just means that it needs to be mostly right. And jeebs, today was a day where I…

Inspired by the book Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks. An earworm (or brainworm as Sacks espouses) is that catchy melody that sticks in your brain that you just can't shake.

This song's about getting reacquainted with your ol' guitar after neglecting it for a few years. Back in 2006 our band started working on writing and recording music for our project, TheSongOfTheDay.com where we released one song for each…

"There's a dude from Indiana rockin' real hard to Carlos Santana!" If you've ever been to Indiana, you'll know where this came from.

While the name of the song is a Spinal Tap reference, this one is almost a period piece, taking us back to the early 80s when record players and mixtapes were how we listened to and shared our music.

This song's about that guy in the band who really can't play and just doesn't get any better, but pays for studio time, buys the gear, springs for beer, and owns the van. You always have to think twice about kicking the guy out with all the money!

Girls! Women! Birds! Chicks! This song's about all the pretty girls out there (and you know who you are)! This song celebrates each and everyone of them.

The musician's anthem! This song hits on a Beatnik Turtle theme about not wanting to work (see our first RPM album: All In A Day's Work). Instead, all you want to do is bang on the drums all day. And yet, work, life, and the inevitable day job…

This is us tempting fate. Jumping the shark refers to a defining moment on the TV show "Happy Days" when Fonzie literally jumps over a shark on waterskis -- all while wearing his leather jacket. Everyone watching immediately knew the show would…

An obvious reference to the classic movie, "Blues Brothers" (which takes place in Chicago -- where we're from), this song tells the cliched story of the band that reunites after years away from each other thanks to "creative differences", "growing…

If you're a musician, we guarantee you've heard these five little words before. Nastier words could never be said.

Beware all ye who enter here. This song's a stern warning that being the front man of a band is not what it's cracked up to be. Consider yourself warned.

The truest confession of a sincere man choosing love over all else. Lyrics: I don't wanna lose you And if I choose you Promise you won't go Don't go I don't wanna lose you

feat. Cville Ramblings on bass and lead guitar

"Well Alright A great piano driven song. Though Peasant aka Damien DeRose is more known for his acoustic guitar melodies, I think this is a nice departure from it. I believe he's got an album coming out March 2nd, so if you're diggin' this keep…

This is a song for all of my friends at Simon's Rock and the good times we've had and hopefully will continue to have with no strings attached! Love you guys!
