Robert James's listening history
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…

This was supposed to be the centerpiece of this year's National Solo Album Month, but instead it's a complete turd and I'll probably stop acknowledging it's existence nine minutes after I finish uploading it. It's just a dog.

National Solo Album Month continues with another ho-hum rock song with an overly drawn out ending. I almost like the chorus. Actually, I almost like the whole song. It's just kinda... there. The ending was supposed to be a one bar phrase repeated…

This was meant to be a sort of throw away thing to stick at the end of the album, but now that it's done I kinda dig it. I set up a drum loop and set up my delay pedal (a Wampler Faux Tape Echo 2.0) with a crap load of repeats and just started…

This was the last song I came up with for this year's National Solo Album Month and I think I'm going out on a good note. Sure it uses the cliche of switching between major (G) and the relative minor (Eminor) a lot in the chorus, but it works…

Normally playing in 7/8 time comes naturally to me. I think I might have been born missing an eighth note (get it? Hardy har har). On this one though, I wrote the bass part first and the chorus seemed simple enough. Playing the rhythm guitars…
