Songs in 6/8 time should be faster, shouldn’t they? This one is slooow. I think in previous RPM Challenge projects this would have been a sludgy metal song. Not this year though. The lyrics are about a ghost town in Connecticut where things started…

I waited until RPM Challenge song #20 before I used a 12-bar blues. This was a guitar noodle that happened when I finished everything I had planned to work on that day but wasn’t quite ready to stop playing. I like that feeling. The lyrics are…

The third in a series of songs based on New England ghost stories. This is the last one I have right now, but there are still a bunch of songs that need lyrics. I wonder if I could pull off the double album idea this year with one album being…

You can’t have an album worth of ghost story songs without at least one haunted lighthouse song, right? I have no idea what I was going for with this song but it doesn’t sound anything like what I had in mind. It sort of fell apart and then fell…

The 10th and final ghost story song for this year’s RPM Challenge. I think it needs more wah-wah pedal. Maybe. Not sure if I like this or not. I might. Or I might not. I can’t decide. The guitars are all Gibson SG through a Fender Deluxe Reverb…

I restricted my guitar gear to just three effect pedals. They included an overdrive pedal, but no fuzz boxes. Any other year I would have fuzzed the holy hell out of the rhythm guitars here, but it still feels okay with just a cranked overdrive…

I needed to make sure I was over 20 minutes so I recorded about a minute of noise.

This song kinda sucks. Okay, it really sucks.

This one is kinda crappy.

Look at me getting all like The Edge and using a delay as a rhythm effect.

This one is okay. Nothing too special, but it is in 7/8 (assuming I’m writing about the track I think I’m writing about. Who knows).

My first impression was this one wasn’t very good. As the day wore on though it kinda grew on me. Now that I’ve made it track two I think I’m starting to not like it again.

I just finished an album in a day project, based on this: http://crapart.spacebar.org/aad/ This was the first song I worked on. I was kinda thinking of it as two songs smushed together. It’s not terrible. Maybe if I come back to it with ears…

My tribute to a classic scene from Dusk till Dawn. "Satanico Pandemonium, she dances with a snake..." Appropriate for an October release.
