UPDATE: I remixed this. I replaced the plate reverbs with rooms. Another song from the 2022 RPM Challenge, re-recorded for Quarantine Tunes Volume Seven. Not a lot different between this and the original. The rhythm guitar is still sloppy…

UPDATE: I remixed this. I replaced the plate reverbs with rooms. I don't know if it's better or not. I told myself that the Quarantine Tunes thing was going to end after volume six. Then I picked songs (mostly from the last couple of RPM…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number nine becomes completed song number four. I'm hovering between "this is okay" and "this is almost okay." I don't hate it. I think it goes to the chorus a few too many times (is that even possible?) and the mix…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number two becomes finished song number three. This one is almost okay. The vocals aren't good and the lead guitars are terrible in places. I am so rusty and I can't seem to shake it off. It really shows here. This…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 11 becomes finished song number 13. This one is okay. We'll say it's on the bubble as far as making the final RPM Challenge submission is concerned. I like the vocal harmony at the end and unlike most of the…

2024 RPM Challenge song idea number eight becomes finished song number nine. I usually place songs into one of three buckets as I finish mixing them. The A-list bucket is songs that are good enough to make the final album. The B-list is songs…

2024 RPM Challenge song idea number six becomes finished song number eight. This one is okay. I've probably written this same song 10 times over the years, but it works okay for me. I just wish I could sing. The lead guitars are pretty awful…

Song idea for the 2024 RPM Challenge number 19 becomes finished song number five. Dynamics, am I right? Why yes, yes I am. that secret to good song writing that I always fail to do... and sort of still failed to do here even though the change…
