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 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…

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 eight out of (hopefully) 20. I liked this one a lot right off the bat. I even put a note on the trello card that this one might be the winner. I'm not so sure about that anymore, but I do like it. I dig how…

2022 RPM Challenge song number nine. Simple. I like it. It started with me strumming over a drum loop and then developed quickly. I thought about leaving the bass and drums off, but wimped out. It's a little folkie, but not THAT folkie…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 10. I currently have 10 songs finished and the running time for those 10 songs is 36:22. I could call it complete now and feel good about myself. I still have 10 more songs to mix though, and this one is heading…

2022 RPM Challenge Song Number 11. I'm torn over this one. I like the riffs, I like the groove, I like the melody, but I think I hate the lyrics more than I've hated any lyric I've written in a very, very long time. This is what I get when…

2022 RPM Challenge Song Number 12. This one is okay, I guess. Nothing special. It has eight bars of three part harmony and I always feel good when I can pull that off. I'm not sure if it has what it takes to make the final RPM album, but…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 13. I use GarageBand for all of my amateur recording needs. I use the MacOS version for recording real instruments and mixing and adding gobs of echoes and stuff. Sometimes I used the iOS version to kick off…

2022 RPM Challenge Song Number 14. The title pretty much says it all. I had more trouble improvising over this stupid little asshole of a song than I've maybe ever had before in my entire life. It was awful. The leads you're left with are…
