2021 50/90 Song Number 43
This is actually my 53rd and likely final song idea for this year's 50/90 and I kinda like it. I mean it is kinda boring, what with what I laughingly referred to as a chorus just being eight bars of Emin7, and one…

2021 50/90 Song Number 41.
I haven't really slept in almost three days and yet I mixed a song. I have no idea if it's listenable or not.
Am I overusing the wah pedal? Why yes, yes I am. Is it bad? Hell if I know, I am so tired I'm not…

I am not sure what I was going for with this one, but I got it... whatever it was.
Lots of sauce on this. Delays all over the place, Dotted eighth note echo tricks, panning tricks, backwards tracks, pretty much…

A little song about a girl named Jennifer.
This one came together lightning fast and I think it shows. As I was sitting here mixing it just now I came up with about 10 ideas to make it better and as a result it…

They don't ask how good, they just ask how many.
It's not a total disaster, but I'm pretty disappointed with this one. If the mix sounds sloppy it's because I more or less gave up on this one as I was working…

Groovy.
Or at least it would have been in more capable hands.
Another in a long list of "record this first idea that pops into your head when you plug in your guitar" songs. I wasn't planning on 5/4 time, but…

The tempo thing is a gimmick. I had it set in Garageband at 140 bpm but for the first few minutes all the sections have the drummer playing at 1/2 speed. So without actually changing the tempo, the last minute…

Another song with a haiku for each stanza. I was planning on doing this a lot this summer but I think there are only two or three. I still have time to add more but I probably won't. This is unique this year in…

There's not a lot to this one but I like it. It's not my best vocal performance buy an astronomical unit or two, but it isn't as painful as some of them have been this summer. There are some points where…

You know what? I like this one a lot. I haven't done much of what you could call "hard rock" this summer, but this one might qualify. It's another in a growing line of songs in 3/4 time that are attempts…
