The 2020 50/90 will not be shut out. One song down, 49 to go. Not much to say about this one. I came up with the bass and drums on the first night, really didn't like it at all after I added the guitars, and then liked it a tiny bit once…

Song three of (probably) 10 for NaSoAlMo. I'm still going with the plan of longer(ish) songs that feature at least a little bit of 12-string guitar. So far so good. I sort of like the chorus on this one, but the verses aren't all that hot…

This bouncy little groove brings the 2020 50/90 Challenge to a close. I end with 51 songs written in 88(?) days. I've only finished this challenge once before, in 2014. That year I stopped at 50 songs but I got there with a lot more time to…

Short and sweet. Nice and hyper. The mix is a little ratty, but I can live with it on a Tuesday afternoon. Lyrically I think this is the most milage I've ever gotten out of the fewest words. I'm just winning all around. This is the 50th…

I really like the chorus in this one. I don't know if it's the pick up notes in the vocals, or the key change coming out of the verse, but I just dig it. The rhythm guitar is a Gibson ES-335 into a Klon KTR into a Malaise Forever Black Lives…

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…

I was going for something here... I don't know what it was, but I didn't get it. It's not the worst thing ever. I like the strummy guitar solos. The chorus isn't so bad. I don't know. I might just be tired, but I think this one is going to…

This one is okay. Nothing special. The whole stream of conscious lyric writing approach got a little screwy here when the second verse went really dark but the chorus was kinda up and happy. Oh well. I kinda like the chorus here. A few…

A nice, bouncy little ditty, eh? This has two tie backs to the 1980's. First, the lead guitar. Back in the late 80's I was not a guitar gear junkie at all. That addiction only developed a few years ago. Back then it was Les Paul -> Wah…

I keep waffling on whether I like this one or not. Right now I'm okay with it, but sometimes I just want to junk it. I think I'm too close to all of this stuff to know what's good and what isn't. The star of the show here is clearly the Garageband…
