2021 50/90 Song Number 50!
WOOHOO! Success! 2014, 2020, and now 2021.
I kinda like this one. It's kinda swampy, in a good way. I like the strummy solos. I probably should have put more work into them but I think I can live with this…

I like this one and I can't figure out why. It's certainly not because of the recording because it's pretty hacky. You can pretty much hear every punch and every edit. It's certainly not because of the vocals because…

Not bad. I like the phaser on the guitars in the A section, and I like the wah on the rhythm near the end. That wash of noise underneath is actually a guitar solo that was sort of hiding the slow wah effect so I…

Not terrible. It feels punky to me which implies that this is what punky sounds like to people who don't really know what punky sounds like.

Eh. Not really feeling this one anymore. It's not terrible as a big dumb rocker, but it lost me somewhere. The mix sounds pretty ratty to my tired brain right now. Maybe I'll like it more in the morning.

All of the fun of…

This is actually my 53rd and likely final song idea for this year's 50/90 and I kinda like it. I mean it is kinda boring, what with what I laughingly referred to as a chorus just being eight bars of Emin7, and one…

A couple of days ago I posted a song called Goodnight Hold Tight and on the notes I mentioned that there was another song coming that was (completely by accident) structurally identical. This is that song.

I haven't really slept in almost three days and yet I mixed a song. I have no idea if it's listenable or not.
Am I overusing the wah pedal? Why yes, yes I am. Is it bad? Hell if I know, I am so tired I'm not…

I am not sure what I was going for with this one, but I got it... whatever it was.
Lots of sauce on this. Delays all over the place, Dotted eighth note echo tricks, panning tricks, backwards tracks, pretty much…
