When I was tracking the rhythm guitar I was feeling the groove on this in a major way. When I was tracking the vocals I thought it was better than my usual terrible. Somehow I was wrong on both fronts. The guitar sounds like mud and the vocals…

This is the first idea I came up with for the 2021 RPM Challenge/FAWM and it very much sets the tone for most of what will follow. It's too long, it is pretty much just an Eminor and a Dmajor... everything is going to sound the same this year…

50/90 song number six. A couple of experimental type things (for me, at least) on this song. First: I mixed this through actual speakers. I feel a little giddy just typing that. I don't think I've mixed anything through speakers since…

50/90 Challenge song number five of 50. I feel like most of what I am coming up with right now is overly simplistic. Is that a conscious thing or not? I don't know. This one has the benefit of being a blues in A minor in 3/4 time. A waltzing…

2021 5090 #4. This one is okay. It feels a little too... mathy? Is that a thing? I feel like maybe there needs to be more going on in the chorus, but it has three part vocal harmony so there's that. Subconsciously the whole point of this…

And the 2021 50/90 Challenge is underway. One down, 49 to go. This one came quick and easy, which probably means I've written this entire song already but who cares. I like the chorus. I sing an arpeggio. It's almost like I took two years…

2021 50/90 Challenge, song #2. I started this at midnight on July 4, 2021. The very minute the 50/90 challenge started. I'm 90% sure I've used almost exactly the same melody before, and I'm 99.999% sure I've used exactly the same guitar and…

Three down, 47 to go. I like this one even though there is nothing to it. I threw the bass line together on a Friday evening. It was late and I wanted to get something down before I went to sleep. It was a simple little nothing. On Saturday…
