Welcome to the 2020 National Solo Album Month. Yet another album in a month project for ol' Robbie. Nothing particularly noteworthy about this one. I like it. I like the three part harmonies on the last chorus. The riff is okay, the stop…

Another song, another faux trippy ending. I should change the name of the album to Faux Trippy Endings. What do you think? Lyrically I think this song is just about the last year. When I recorded the rhythm guitars I was pretty stoked…

The fifth song started for the RPM Challenge is the fourth finished, and it's the title song for the album (assuming I don't change my mind in the next five days). Lyrically this is a write what you know kind of song. The Guilt Machine in…

This is the first idea I came up with for the 2021 RPM Challenge/FAWM and it very much sets the tone for most of what will follow. It's too long, it is pretty much just an Eminor and a Dmajor... everything is going to sound the same this year…

The third song finished for this year's RPM Challenge is the 13th song started. As with everything this year it's too long. The vocals are a bit too pitchy, but I think I can live with it today. Ask me again tomorrow and I might have a different…

The RPM Challenge site's Record Every Month Challenge has an entry for June. This one started out in May but it was just the chords from the chorus in the little music memo file on my iPhone. It didn't actually become a song until June. It…

2022 RPM Challenge song #20 of 20! The fact that this is song number 20 is part of the story behind it. I was sitting on 19 and feeling pretty wiped out. I wanted to hit 20 just to say I had two RPM Challenge albums but nothing was coming…

The last song for volume five of the re-recorded Quarantine Tunes thing. I thought this had too much sauce on it when I mixed it the first time around and here I am loading up even more soup on the second go-round. I thought this was lacking…

A straight ahead rock song in 5/4 time. I think this is an improvement over the first version, but not by a whole lot. I think it rocks a little harder, which was my main beef the first time around. It's fun to play, and it's not terrible to…
