Robert James's listening history
Think of this (lyrically speaking) as Anti-Vaxer's Lament Part 2. I wrote both lyrics at the same time.
The rhythm guitars used Amplitube's Fender Twin app while the leads used Amplitube's Jimi Hendrix app.

This song has been the biggest mess of the month. It was the second idea I had, the first that wasn't dropped. I have fought with it more than any other song I've ever recorded. The drum parts have been recorded twice. They rhythm guitars have…

This song makes 10 for the month of June. I still have my one left over thing from May, and there are two more from June that still need vocals.

This is an alternate mix of an RPM2020 song. I'm hoping half of my album will be arranged for acoustic guitar, hand percussion, and saxophone. I also want to do an alternate mix of each of those songs with the usual three piece rock band arrangement…

I didn't get shut out this year!
My demo plans for 2016 are proving to be way too elaborate so I wrote and recorded this in GarageBand on my iPad in one sitting. The music is overly simple and the lyrics are throw away, but it's done. Guitars…

Another one that didn't really have a home. I think it started out as a songfight idea from back in 2008 or so. Not sure I like this recording as much as the old one.
