2021 50/90 Song Number 49 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…

The third song finished for this year's RPM Challenge is the 13th song started. As with everything this year it's too long. The vocals are a bit too pitchy, but I think I can live with it today. Ask me again tomorrow and I might have a different…

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…

2021 50/90 Song Number 44 Another swing thing... sort of. Not as overt as the others, and I really wasn't planning on it. The GarageBand session drummer suggested it and I figured the session drummer knows best, right? All of the fun of…

2021 50/90 Song Number 43 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…

2021 50/90 Song Number 41. 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…

2021 50/90 Song Number 42 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. Can…
