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…

I think... I might... I think I might absolutely freakin' love this song. Well... the chorus at least. The rest is okay, but the chorus friggin' slams. I wrote and recorded this in November 2014 for that year's National Solo Album Month…

Did you see any of the articles recently that talked about the John Cage piece? Cage wrote what is unquestionably the slowest piece of music ever performed. A machine was designed in order to play the entire piece and recently it changed chord…

50/90 runs from July 4 through October 1. Three months. When I work on it I tend to break the project up into four pieces. Songs started and finished in each of the three months, and songs that cross between months. This is the only cross…

I like this one, even though there's not a lot to it musically. Mix wise, there's tons going on. Four rhythm guitar tracks, five vocal tracks, four lead guitar tracks, and (really) two drum tracks. Oh yeah, and one lonely bass guitar. I…

Not sure of the mix on this one. I thought about putting a flanger onto the bass when it's the only thing playing in the middle of the song. I still might go back and do it. The guitars are all Gibson ES-335 and the amps are all Fender Bassbreaker…

Another in an endless string of recordings that would have been saved by a competent singer. Maybe. I like the individual pieces of this song, but I don't think I like the song as a whole. Okay... maybe I don't like the chorus at all. I don…

I may need to remix this. I ended up mixing it at very low volume with an ancient pair of Apple ear pods. It might sound like cow dung for all I know. I like this. It's kinda funky and it was fun to play. I like how I ended up with harmony…

I kinda like this one. The melody in the hook is kinda fun, and having the guitar play a melody of its own was something fun that I don't do often. The lyrics are stream of conscious garbage, meaning they are probably about the idiot in the…

Yet another big dumb rocker, but this one I kinda like. I think it's the hyper active chorus, even though I could barely sing it without the wheels coming off the bus. I have no idea what the lyrics are about. None at all. The guitar parts…
