2021 50/90 song number 40. 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…

2021 50/90 Song Number 39. A little song about a girl named Jennifer. This one came together lightning fast and I think it shows. As I was sitting here mixing it just now I came up with about 10 ideas to make it better and as a result it…

2021 50/90 Song Number 35. They don't ask how good, they just ask how many. It's not a total disaster, but I'm pretty disappointed with this one. If the mix sounds sloppy it's because I more or less gave up on this one as I was working…

2021 50/90 Song Number 34 Groovy. Or at least it would have been in more capable hands. Another in a long list of "record this first idea that pops into your head when you plug in your guitar" songs. I wasn't planning on 5/4 time, but…

2021 509/90 Song Number 33. The tempo thing is a gimmick. I had it set in Garageband at 140 bpm but for the first few minutes all the sections have the drummer playing at 1/2 speed. So without actually changing the tempo, the last minute…

2021 50/90 Song Number 32 Another song with a haiku for each stanza. I was planning on doing this a lot this summer but I think there are only two or three. I still have time to add more but I probably won't. This is unique this year in…

2021 50/90 Challenge Song Number 28. There's not a lot to this one but I like it. It's not my best vocal performance buy an astronomical unit or two, but it isn't as painful as some of them have been this summer. There are some points where…

2021 50/90 Challenge Song Number 27 You know what? I like this one a lot. I haven't done much of what you could call "hard rock" this summer, but this one might qualify. It's another in a growing line of songs in 3/4 time that are attempts…

2021 50/90 Challenge song number 17. Noteworthy to no one but me that this is the first song started and finished within the month of August. So it counts for the RPM Challenge's Record Every Month thing. I haven't submitted a song to the…

2021 50/90 song number 16 of 50. I like this one. I think I screwed up the guitar part in the chorus about a thousand and two times before I finally had a useable take. I think it was probably worth it. The guitars are a Les Paul standard…
