Robert James's listening history
Now that the October album in a month thingie is finished I can get back to the better (not necessarily good) stuff. The Quarantine Tunes, volume 2.
This song is wicked old. I wrote it for the 2020 RPM Challenge, all of nine months ago…

The first song completed for the second round of re-recorded Quarantine Tunes. This one was written on the last day of the 2016 RPM Challenge. I had written a bunch of songs saying that people who think the Earth is flat are somehow defective…

Back story: After doing the RPM Challenge and FAWM and 50/90 and National Solo Album Month and the occasional reddit song a week or unsubmitted songfight over and over again for years and years, the one internet challenge writing/recording project…
