A mostly true story about a kid I knew growing up. It didn't end so good. That story is finished in Teenage Hurricane.

Recorded in 2007, this track features Amanda Monaco on Guitar and Anthony Cekay on Saxophone. This is our take on Joe Zawinul's famous tune "In A Silent Way."

For that beautiful, faraway, lost and gone past time.

I'll never be happy enough with it, lol so i posted a crazy improv, and i hope it sounds good enough to listen to at least once.
This is like the billionth time recording this song, and ive played it constantly on voice to people in secondlife…

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.

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…

Last piece recorded for RPM. On the last day. Mostly improvised.
The inspiration of last-minute panic. Pretty much how I got through college. Until I dropped out.
Hey, don't judge me. I'm back in school now. Gonna get my CPA. Accounting…

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.
