The first song completed for the second round of re-recorded Quarantine Tunes. This one was written on the last day of the 2016 RPM Challenge. I had written a bunch of songs saying that people who think the Earth is flat are somehow defective…

Happy Halloween. At least for 19 more minutes here in New England. This is the ninth and final song for the Quarantine Tunes Volume 2 project. Is it fitting that the song was written a month ago? I don't know. This was the last song written…

I like this song, and I've recorded it twice now, but I don't think either recording lives up to its potential. I've been in Covid lock down for nine months now so I might just be crazy. Who can tell? I cut a little out of the original…

This little guy comes from my first complete 50/90 back in 2014. It's super simple but for some reason I have a tough time getting a mix I like. I think the existence of the electric piano might just be throwing off my entire brain or something…

This isn't the best song I've ever written. I think that one is on the Quarantine Tunes Volume 1 playlist. No, it's not the best but... I'm pretty sure it's my favorite song I've ever written. Not because of the quality of the song, but because…

When I wrote this back in June I was really loving everything about it except for my utter shit vocal take. I thought it was the key. When I redid it this time I lowered the key a whole step and sped up the tempo for good measure. Now I can…

This was written in April of 2014. Most of the songs from that month were duds, but this one was okay. I trimmed a little fat and even at this funeral dirge tempo it's a lot faster than the original. It still clocks in at over five minutes…

The fascists will be gone from power in four days (barring further coup d'états of course)... what am I going to write about when the adults are in control again? This was written for the 2018 RPM Challenge. I know all of the guitars used…

This one comes from the 2014 RPM Challenge. Structurally speaking this is very similar to the original. I shortened a couple of solo sections but otherwise everything is the same. The feel though is (to me at least) completely different…
