I am so tired right now I can't keep my eyes open. Does this mix sound okay? I have no idea. On the day the RPM Challenge website opens up for sign ups for a COVID-19 April Challenge I finish the bonus album in a month challenge I set for…read more

Come What May

Robert James

2:37

I had this song worked out pretty much completely but it was only about a minute long. What to do? I just repeated the whole thing and stuck an extra phrase at the end to wrap it up. Boom, two and a half minutes. Rhythm guitar is my SG…read more

Literally everything I've done this month could be titled "Social Distance" or "Shelter in Place" or "Holy shit this is scary as hell". I don't think I ever really plan to write a big dumb sludgy rock song, but they always show up and here…read more

Loop

Robert James

Another one with an attempt to sort of improvise the rhythm guitar part. Some of it at least. Also, another one with a melody that... well... seemed like a good idea at the time. The rhythm guitar is a Gibson SG, the lead is a Gibson Les…read more

Where Did I Go Wrong

Robert James

I've been writing melodies and lyrics earlier in the process than I'm really used to. Normally I sit at the mic and write and record everything at once. Lately I've been writing a melody with a piano track, then writing lyrics that fit, and…read more

Thursday

Written during Spring Break 2001. Can you guess which day it comes from? The lyric is about how I was on day 4 and had already run out of ideas. Kinda typical.

Vanishing Point

Robert James

"Vanishing Point" was an attempt to force myself to write a full song. I had been playing in Break Even for about a year and found myself completely unable to write music. I had just set up a nice little 8-track studio (sort of) at home and I…read more

Third of seven left overs from April 2007. This one was sort of a throw away from the beginning. It resulted in me not being able to come up with anything clever, so I just threw something easy and hyperactive and short together. As far as…read more

Usually I like songs less when they are finished. This one I think I like more. I had planned on dropping this one but now I'm not sure.

My post-RPM Challenge plan is to just keep going. Here's my first March 2020 Challenge song. I am trying to go much more raw and low-fi than usual. One guitar straight into one amp. No doubling, not extensive overdubs. Same with the vocals…read more

No one ever rocks in 3/4 time. This is a cheesy attempt to do just that. I woke up one morning with the music for this pretty much complete in my head. I recorded the rhythm guitars and vocals over a simple drum and bass loop. When I went…read more

Prior to the switch to the white UI I was having an issue where all of my uploads were marked as private and I couldn’t change them. I created a second account and moved on. Then after the white UI switch I found a couple of tracks had vanished so I moved everything back to this account and deleted v2.
