A few years ago I was working on a 50/90 and I was stuck for lyrics. While hunting for ideas I Googled “New England folk tales” and found a few stories that I was able to use as a loose idea for a song lyric. I was trying to write lyrics for this…

Why don’t I write songs in ¾ more often? This one is kinda fun to play. I’m not sure if it will make the final cut for the RPM Challenge album or not, but it’s done and that’s what matters right now. The guitars are a Gibson SG into a Fender…

Looks like I have a song for the drop list. This one is a throwaway. If I were to release a single off of this year’s RPM Challenge album, this would be a B-side at best. I wrote and recorded the vocals while sitting in the front seat of my car…

I thought this would be a drop candidate but the more I work on it the more I like it. The lyrics are about how much I hate the anti-vax and flat Earth movements. The guitars are Gibson SG through a Fender Deluxe Reverb. why are we still dealing…

This one is unusual for me in that I kinda like the melody but the riff is kind of a throw away. It’s almost always the other way around… or more likely I just hate it all. This is noteworthy for this year’s RPM Challenge in that it was the last…

This one seems okay. I’m really tired tonight so I think I might listen tomorrow and find the mix is a disaster. Wait and see, I guess. Most of the guitar parts were worked out in January and then worked into a song in February. The lyrics are…

I had the guitar parts for the three main sections of this one demoed out back in January so it doesn’t qualify for this year’s FAWM, but it does qualify for the RPM Challenge album. The lyrics are embarrassingly crappy, but someone I care about…

I think I might like this one. It’s almost funky but not quite. It was sort of a throw away at first. I wanted to have x number of songs in progress by y date and this one was thrown together to make my deadline. As it progressed though, I started…

My favorite part of this song is the D major 7 chord at 0:30, bar 19. I just wanted to share that. Robbie does not like the fascist in the white house at all. The sound of his voice makes Robbie want to vomit and the actual words fill Robbie…

The first mix for the 2019 RPM Challenge. I’m pretty sure I am going to re-record the lead guitars before the month is over. The lyrics were inspired by an @_floridaman article about a guy who drove a Ferrari into the ocean because god told…
