Robert James's listening history
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…

I can't tell if this song is good or if I just like it because it's fun to jam over the ending.

Another song from this year's 50/90 given a second look. I don't know what to think about it. I haven't played it back to back with the first version, but except for preferring this one's slightly faster tempo I am not sure if it is better or…

My fear for this song is that it's more fun to play than it is to listen to. I'm not sure about this mix. I feel like I am getting way too cute here. I also wonder if what I really like about this song is the verse and everything else doesn…

My gut is telling me that when I listen to this version of this song back to back with the one I did this summer I am going to prefer this one. That's kind of the goal for these re-recording projects I'm forcing on myself. Just make things a…

Another song for Quarantine Tunes Volume 50/90. I finished off the 2021 50/90 with a lot of crappy songs and a handful that I thought were worthy of a closer look. This one is fun. Nothing like bashing your head against some nice heavy rock…

I think this was the first song I worked on in the 2021 50/90 (one of the first ones at least) and it still might be my favorite. This is pretty comparable to the first recording from a few months ago. I think the vocals are probably worse here…
