hey you your hippy-dippy shop seems a spot for something fun hold up you’re walking up and down those aisles strapped to a submachine gun you might think you’re so safe as you hold on to that steel but you might find that the folks who…

rpm 2023 Janette Salisbury vocals sometime, tomorrow leaving, leaving, leaving fleeing, your sorrow it’s tainted my soul and heaven help me now make me clean somehow sometime, tomorrow leaving, leaving, leaving fleeing, your sorrow…

This song features some of the worst performances I've ever allowed to make it online. Oh well. The vocals are terrible. The leads are handcuffed (my fingers hurt so much while recording this that I couldn't get them to do anything). The rhythm…

My 90's punk attempt. Interrupters/Rancid feel.. What does any of that have to do with Mark? Not a gosh darn thing... I just liked the name A Relative Term. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the songs on this album are pitchy and hard…

Castaway. The Tom Hanks Movie. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the songs on this album are pitchy and hard to listen to. I recorded all of the vocals on Feb 27 and 28th as single takes. Most of them stream of conscience nonsense.

Still meta... but with the realization that I can do RPM no matter what my hinderance is. I did this whole album with an Ipad, my acoustic, a cheap microphone and a pair of headphones. All the songs were written hastily in minutes with no real…

I feel the keys and pop feel of this one screams of Tim's influences. Like if we both listened to the same song, this would be my take away vs his. Lyric content? You guessed it... Meta. * Disclaimer: I understand that most of the…

This is an excerpt from my 2023 RPM Challenge album, where I hit all four types of submission (Single Track, EP, LP, and Boxed Set) with a single, almost 102 minute track. For the full piece go to http://geekidomusic.com. And if you actually…

If I had more of a pool of songs to chose from this year, then this puppy would be going straight to the dropped list. Can you say, "padding?" I feel like I could cut 75% out of this song. I like the chorus and I like the strummy guitar solos…

Seven songs down for the RPM Challenge. It's February 27th and I have so much more to get through. I liked this one as I was putting it together. The mood is very much fitting my frame of mind these days. I don't know if I like it as much…

I asked to robots to help me write a song in the style of Tom Waits. Riding on a train to the edge of town Where the night has just begun People on the street with nowhere to go Living hard and having fun Everywhere I go there’s a song…

Six songs down for the 2023 RPM Challenge. Jeff Beck died and I was gutted. It's hard to lose your heroes, but it's also odd to feel so emotional about the loss of someone you've never met. Life is weird, right? I did not want to write…

Five songs down. Somewhere between five and nine to go. This one was fun to play. Both the rhythm guitar parts and the solos were just fun. I don't think anything is particularly good, I just enjoyed myself. That was a nice feeling. The…
