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…

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…

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…

Another Monroe-Robinson collaboration. So glad Kenny brought those two together a few years ago! As with a few other tracks this time around, Robbie recorded his parts on his own, then we replaced the canned GarageBand drum loops with actual…

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…

The idea for this one came to Margaret as she was walking to the studio for band practice one night, and we’re glad it did! Margaret, Robbie, and I (Kevin) recorded the main takes together live off the floor during our usual band practice timeslot…

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…

Robbie put together a 5-minute track (“E Rock Jam”) that was meant to feature a bunch of guitar leads from various folks and maybe some vocals, but the timing never quite worked out to get those laid down. We did, however, record some of John…

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.

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…

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.

Just Leum and an acoustic guitar. Sometimes, that’s all you need. :) Leum Monroe – lyrics, songwriting, vocals, guitar Kevin Craig – recording, mixing Our Surprise by Leum Monroe Would I stand near the ocean just to hear your cry…

Robbie’s ode to a favorite vacation destination on the Gulf of Mexico. Robbie Robinson – lyrics, songwriting, vocals, guitars, bass, recording, arrangement Kenny Tannehill – background vocals Margaret Bibb – background vocals Kevin Craig…

As February and the RPM Challenge approached, Margaret was surprised to find herself gravitating toward country music this time around, but she rolled with it and finished the lyrics in time for us to lay down some scratch tracks on 2/10. Over…

I needed to keep the streak alive. 15 years of RPM. But life has been in the way. Considerably. It's not worth getting into, but music is currently so far down the priority list it's not even funny. But I found time on the 28th to…

It's a b-side song for RPM 2024, mostly because I needed a second song in order to create a playlist here. I need a b-side songs for the flip side A b-side song to prove that I tried To put in the effort, to get things done To try to…

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…
