2021 50/90 Challenge song number 17. Noteworthy to no one but me that this is the first song started and finished within the month of August. So it counts for the RPM Challenge's Record Every Month thing. I haven't submitted a song to the…

2021 50/90 song number 16 of 50. I like this one. I think I screwed up the guitar part in the chorus about a thousand and two times before I finally had a useable take. I think it was probably worth it. The guitars are a Les Paul standard…

2021 5090 #4. This one is okay. It feels a little too... mathy? Is that a thing? I feel like maybe there needs to be more going on in the chorus, but it has three part vocal harmony so there's that. Subconsciously the whole point of this…

Three down, 47 to go. I like this one even though there is nothing to it. I threw the bass line together on a Friday evening. It was late and I wanted to get something down before I went to sleep. It was a simple little nothing. On Saturday…

2021 50/90 Challenge, song #2. I started this at midnight on July 4, 2021. The very minute the 50/90 challenge started. I'm 90% sure I've used almost exactly the same melody before, and I'm 99.999% sure I've used exactly the same guitar and…

And the 2021 50/90 Challenge is underway. One down, 49 to go. This one came quick and easy, which probably means I've written this entire song already but who cares. I like the chorus. I sing an arpeggio. It's almost like I took two years…

2021 50/90 S0ng Number 51 I listen to this song and I am struck by how little there is to it. It sounds simple and basic and un-special in every way. Why then was it such an absolute nightmare to sing. I mean... I had to dumb down the…

2021 50/90 Song Number 50! WOOHOO! Success! 2014, 2020, and now 2021. I kinda like this one. It's kinda swampy, in a good way. I like the strummy solos. I probably should have put more work into them but I think I can live with this…

2021 50/90 Song Number 49 I like this one and I can't figure out why. It's certainly not because of the recording because it's pretty hacky. You can pretty much hear every punch and every edit. It's certainly not because of the vocals because…

2021 50/90 Song Number 48 Not bad. I like the phaser on the guitars in the A section, and I like the wah on the rhythm near the end. That wash of noise underneath is actually a guitar solo that was sort of hiding the slow wah effect so I…
