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…

I've got a handful of songs from the 2009-2011 RPM projects that I've been wanting to re-record and update. I over cooked this one a little. The rhythm guitars, both electric and acoustic, and the vocal are all doubled. I had a hard time fitting…

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…

Last week I posted a song called "Flat Earth Rebuttal" that was the second half of an argument between a Flat Earther and a person who fails to see the need for a biblical conspiracy against the concept of a spherical planet Earth. This song…

I know I should be working on National Solo Album Month, but I'm two timing this month and working on more re-recordings as well. This is the first song for volume three. I wrote this in 2016 during my June album in a month project. I had…

The 10th and final song for the third round or re-recorded Quarantine Tunes is now complete. I wish it closed with a better effort though. I don't dislike the way this came out, I just had higher hopes. This song is probably the most difficult…

This was the only song from the 2015 RPM Challenge that did anything for me at the time. I clearly remember that. What I didn't remember until I read the notes from that 2015 alonetone post (which I did about four minutes ago) was that the guitar…

Back story: After doing the RPM Challenge and FAWM and 50/90 and National Solo Album Month and the occasional reddit song a week or unsubmitted songfight over and over again for years and years, the one internet challenge writing/recording project…

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…
