Robert James's listening history
Okay, am I the only person who thinks it's delightfully goofy to play a 12-bar blues in 7/8 time? I think I might be. I keep doing it and I just giggle all the way through. This one isn't that good of an example as I was mentally done with…

I really enjoy working on these quiet little semi-trippy ballad type things, but then when I listen back a month or two later I can't figure out why I liked it and then I never listen to it again. I can see this song's future.

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.

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…

Nothing really noteworthy about this one except that it's in 7/8 time. If I didn't stop myself I'd write every song in 7/8 time. I just like my rock and roll in screwy time signatures. What's a red head to do, right?

How's that for some word salad, eh? Throw a little Italian dressing on this one and you've got yourself a healthy meal!
I've been trying to challenge myself vocally with more complicated melodies and lots of lyrics and things like that, even…

A couple of months ago I came up with a couple of things that used polyrhythms. The drums were in one time signature and everything else was in another. I had some fun with it then and tried it again and... well, I got pretty bored with it really…

I don't like the rhythm guitars on this one. I had both pickups on and now I wish I just had the bridge pickup. It would have been toppier and less muddy.
Finally a song that is about something specific, even if it doesn't make much sense…

I'm really tired right now so this mix might sound awful and I won't know. Also, 50/90 might be hitting a snag in that I have a bit of an injury to my left hand. It's not getting better and while recording the leads on this puppy it was affecting…
