Robert James's listening history
Third of possibly four songs written either just before or during Hurricane Irene's visit to New England. This one seems a little too busy and the mix feels funny, but I think it would be fun to play live if I ever get myself back into a band.

The second of seven unfinished leftovers from RPM 2007 to finally get completed. The lyrics are about my strong desire to vacation in San Diego... permanently. Just a little 12-bar. I liked this one a lot more before it was finished. Now I…

You can take the red head out of the 80's, but you can't take the 80's out of the red head... I guess. I didn't like anything current when I was growing up during the 80's. Well, almost anything.
This one was originally written during the…

Another song from The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project. This one originally came from my failed 2010 RPM Challenge. I liked this one at the time, and the riff is fun to play. The lyrics are about a very stressful drive from Massachusetts to…
