Okay... there's a lot to talk about with this goof ball. The first song I did this year had a drone-like fuzzy guitar. I did it again here but I wanted the song I put around it to be different than the other one, even though the changes are…

This is the 13th song finished. It was both the 15th and the 20th song started. It's a long story. I was in the car recording vocals and it started raining. When I finished the tracks I needed to finish I pointed the microphone at the sun…

Pointless backstory that won't be interesting to anyone other than me when I look back at this tune at some point in the distant future: RPM Challenge asks for 10 songs or 35 minutes recorded in February. FAWM asks for 14 songs written during…

The second song finished for this year's RPM Challenge is the last one started. I sort of like the chorus. I liked the verse more as I was working on it than I do now that it's done, but it's not bad. Overall I give this one an okay, but nothing…

The seventh song started for this year's RPM Challenge is the 10th song finished. I now officially have both targets complete. 10 songs and 35 minutes. This year is officially successful. Granted, I still have 10 more songs in the pipeline…

The fifth song started for the RPM Challenge is the fourth finished, and it's the title song for the album (assuming I don't change my mind in the next five days). Lyrically this is a write what you know kind of song. The Guilt Machine in…

Are the sound effect things getting old yet? I can't decide. This one came from here: https://freesound.org/people/keus92/sounds/445228/ This time I trimmed it to the appropriate length and then played it backward. Aint I a stinker? This…

Another song, another faux trippy ending. I should change the name of the album to Faux Trippy Endings. What do you think? Lyrically I think this song is just about the last year. When I recorded the rhythm guitars I was pretty stoked…

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…
