The 2020 50/90 will not be shut out. One song down, 49 to go. Not much to say about this one. I came up with the bass and drums on the first night, really didn't like it at all after I added the guitars, and then liked it a tiny bit once…

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…

Quarantine Tunes Volume Seven lives again! A year and a half after I finished the first two songs for the project, we finally have a third song! This one was written and originally recorded as part of the 2021 RPM Challenge (titled Guilt Machine…

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 18 becomes finished song number 11. This one might make the final album. Then again, it might not. I'm torn. It's okay, but is it okay enough? Rhythm guitars are a Les Paul Custom. Leads are an ES…

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 idea number 13 becomes finished song number 18. I like this one. It's kinda bouncy and fun. The melody is better than my usual crap too. A little bit better at least. Rhythm guitars are a Les Paul Custom. Leads are…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 16 becomes finished song number 17. This one will make the album, I think. I kinda like it even though I am sure I have written this exact song about 100 times before. Oh well. It has a nice 6/8 groove…

2024 RPM Challenge idea number 15 becomes finished song number 16. This one is okay. Better than most of the garbage I've piled up this year. I think it will make the final album, but it's sort of on the bubble. I'll bury it in the middle…
