this time, won't even settle for slant rhyme
if it means choosing each tired phrase over one no one else'd say
who listens to the words anyway?
just so that i'm sure you'll hum along every time,
it ends with five to one every time.

Time for a little humor. I had my wisdom teeth pulled last year, and the pain was debilitating. When I got the right pain meds, I felt so much better that I wrote this song. Colin added his considerable vocal talents and his harmonica and brought…

This is a blues collaboration between The TwoRegs (vocals / lyrics) and Norm Harris (percussion) and myself (17 note per octave electric guitar and fretless bass).
We hope you enjoy it…

This song was conceived as a kind of prayer thanking the Almighty for having the wisdom of having me meet and marry such a wonderful woman. Colin Garvey added terrific vocals to take the song to an entirely higher level.

What lurks there, in the shadows? This song was inspired after watching the sci-fi movie: The Thing (1982)....

Not really a "Fun in the sun" Beach song. More like a Beach at midnight.
Still, there is a pretty big Beach Boys influence here, I think. The backing vocals were staggered to sound like waves breaking on the beach. Not 100% sure it worked…

I don't write love songs very often. Because I'm not good at them. I liked the sort of bittersweet quality of this tune, though. If the RPM deadline had left me more time, I probably would have added a quick ascending bass line right before…

The title is borrowed from a line from an old Simpsons episode, but there is no other lyrical connection, it's just a quickly-written ditty about the excitement that accompanied my first RPM. I hope to eventually do a full band arrangement of this.

Kind of a Neil Young impression, I guess.
You know what's ironic? I think this was the only song on the album I didn't use a metronome to record.
Uploaded
I'm not one to toot my own horn, but I think I did a good job of summoning up a mellow, trippy atmosphere with a relatively minimalist arrangement (acoustic guitar, two pianos, lead vocal, and a guitar solo).
Uploaded
I'm not the best singer. In fact, I'm probably a contender for the WORST singer. But I'm also a huge Beach Boys fan, so I will sometimes do ambitious vocal arrangements like this.
I didn't notice the chorus' resemblance to Ben Folds Five's…

I wrote, recorded, and mixed this in about an hour on the last day of the Challenge. It's a really basic chord progression (I think...I can't actually remember it. Something something D minor something something F something?), but I still like…

I was consciously trying to do minimalist arrangements on this album. I suppose I must have felt that two guitars and a bass were necessary here.
The backing vocals came out pretty good on this one. And there's some nifty bass on verse 2.

I'm not gonna lie to you: this isn't one of my best. It's RPM. It happens.
Try listening to "Beach". I think that one's pretty cool.

This song is a parody to the Austrians. Just how they talk, how they whine about everything.
It basically tells you to look at the bright side of life.
