Another re-recorded song. This one was the title cut from an RPM Challenge a couple of years ago. It's different. I don't know if I love it, but I like it. I think the goofy panning games I played at the beginning and end are probably mistakes…

This song is the highlight from the 2023 Record Every Month. I had a lot of fun with it when I originally wrote and recorded it, and then had a lot of fun with it again when I re-recorded it. It's simple and straightforward and it's kinda groovy…

I think... I might... I think I might absolutely freakin' love this song. Well... the chorus at least. The rest is okay, but the chorus friggin' slams. I wrote and recorded this in November 2014 for that year's National Solo Album Month…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 20 becomes finished song number 20. Fitting, eh? This one isn't going to make the final album. It's okay but I think there are at least 10 songs better this year. Oh well. I'm too tired to care. 2.5 hours…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 14 becomes finished song number 19. Fmajor7 to Eminor7. I use that change a lot. I used it as the entire basis of this song. It didn't really work. This one doesn't do much for me. It's okay, but it's not…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 13 becomes finished song number 18. I like this one. It's kinda bouncy and fun. The melody is better than my usual crap too. A little bit better at least. Rhythm guitars are a Les Paul Custom. Leads are…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 16 becomes finished song number 17. This one will make the album, I think. I kinda like it even though I am sure I have written this exact song about 100 times before. Oh well. It has a nice 6/8 groove…

(Remastered 22/10/2021) And here we go - Edith FINALLY gets it... Actually, she's been getting it ever since I wrote it on the 29th May. I thought it would take a week or so, but it proved to be more of a fight than I was expecting. On…

Song idea number one for the 2024 RPM Challenge becomes finished song number one. This might be the only song I like for this year's RPM Challenge. We'll see. Is the mix too reverby? Probably. I like it today but I might not like it tomorrow…

Song idea number 20 is finished song number eight of 50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge. I really like the vibe of this one, simple and basic with a cool groove, but I HATE the vocals. The melody, the lyrics, and most of all the performance…

Song idea number 12 becomes finished mix number ten of 50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge. I don't hate it, but the lyrics are laughably bad and there are some really bad pitches in the vocals in the chorus that were copied and pasted all over…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 18. I still have two more songs to mix but as of right now this is hands down my favorite of the batch (spoiler alert, I think I might be saying that about the two songs that are left as well). Usually when I…

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.
