The Record Every Month Challenge to record one song each month for the whole year isn't stressful enough, so I upped the ante to be record a single every month. An A Side and a B Side. This song is the A Side for April. I like it... I don't…

I had a thought about recording an EP entirely on my iPad and having that be my Record Every Month project for April. I ended up with four songs, but I am only going to be finishing two on time. I guess that counts as my record a single every…

The second of two songs written and recorded for the March 2023 Record Every Month Challenge. My mini challenge within the main challenge is to record a single. This would be the B side. I am not going to say I don't like the song, because…

Written and recorded for the Record Every Month Challenge in March 2023. I'm thinking of trying to record a single each month this year. This would be the A side for March. The idea started bubbling up in my head at the tail end of the RPM…

I worked on 15 songs for this year's RPM Challenge. One was dropped before I wrote lyrics for it. One was dropped after it was mixed. This one and one other were dropped after tracking was finished but before they were mixed. I didn't like…

(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…

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…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 15. Not too bad. I can live with most of it. The vocals are kinda spotty and I don't think I'll ever use the setup I used for the first guitar solo again (vibe after fuzz? Not this red head!) but I'm mildly…

This might be my favorite song on the album. Really first rate production, this collection of songs.

RPM Challenge 2022 song number 3. This one is okay. I have a feeling that anytime I work in 6/8 time I come up with exactly this song. I knew the lyrics in the chorus (the second line) were bad but I thought I could live with them. Now…

Yeah, this way of doing the guitars is paying off for me, big time. I always love your rhythm playing, but these are shining even more. And the lead on this - NICE. Your comment on the 2nd chorus line made me laugh. I'd heard it a couple of times before I read the comment, and I'd thought "cool line!"

The second song started for the 2022 RPM Challenge is the second song finished. I'm sort of working off a first in first out queue this year. I didn't plan it that way, but that's how it's going. I'm disappointed in this one. It's not a…

Actually, I think it works (I've been getting some of that - I'm disappointed, but the listeners think it's mighty fine - so I kinda know what you feel like now!) .... anyways, love the groove and riffing on this. The chorus is cool, but it's maybe not standing up to the job it's being asked to do nearer the end? Maybe that's what's leaving you feeling flat about it? I'm still digging it, though.

The first song worked on and the first song finished. The 2022 RPM Challenge is well underway! I had a few gimmicky ideas for this year's challenge and this song hits on some of them. First, I wanted to get away from the small room reverb…

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.
