Another song for Quarantine Tunes Volume 50/90. I finished off the 2021 50/90 with a lot of crappy songs and a handful that I thought were worthy of a closer look. This one is fun. Nothing like bashing your head against some nice heavy rock…

I think this was the first song I worked on in the 2021 50/90 (one of the first ones at least) and it still might be my favorite. This is pretty comparable to the first recording from a few months ago. I think the vocals are probably worse here…

I think this one may have lost something in the re-recording process. The mix feels sloppy and the performance seems... well... sloppy. I am going to need to listen to this and the first recording from over the summer back to back before I am…

Welcome to the fifth round of Quarantine Tunes. Volume five is now Volume 50/90 as it's going to be made up entirely of songs from the 2021 50/90 challenge. I'm looking at 10 but might cut it down to eight or nine. I haven't really decided…

And the 2021 50/90 Challenge is underway. One down, 49 to go. This one came quick and easy, which probably means I've written this entire song already but who cares. I like the chorus. I sing an arpeggio. It's almost like I took two years…

The Great 2015 Re-Recording Project finally has a final mix! In 2015, after RPM ended, I asked myself, "now what?" The answer was to take a handful of songs from the previous few years worth of song writing and recording challenges and turn…

Another re-recorded 2014 50/90 song. This one was written on or about July 4th as New England was about to get spanked by Hurricane Arthur. I tend to write about hurricanes a lot. Weird. The guitars here are all Gibson ES-335. The amps…

This song scares me. This song stresses me out. This song confuses me. I could write a song about how messed up this song makes me feel. Is it the best song I've ever written? Not even close. Why then do I insist to myself that it's the…

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 my 2013 RPM Challenge album. I always like this one, but I'm not sure I did it justice this time. There is a lot of really sloppy guitar playing, even if the Klon KTR overdrive pedal sounds EPIC. Sorry, gear nerd. This…
