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…

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…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 18. I still have two more songs to mix but as of right now this is hands down my favorite of the batch (spoiler alert, I think I might be saying that about the two songs that are left as well). Usually when I…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 19. Go to the head of the class, dude. I said that song #18 was the best song of the bunch but now here is song #19 taking the title and squashing 18 like the proverbial grape. In other words, I really like…

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…

This is the result of a stunning lack of rehearsing. I write these little songs as I am recording them and as a result there is no actual rehearsing of anything involved. I do it all on the spot. I really enjoy that process but sometimes…
