2021 50/90 Song Number 46.
Not terrible. It feels punky to me which implies that this is what punky sounds like to people who don't really know what punky sounds like.
Short and sweet. I think the chorus could stand a rewrite, but otherwise…

Eh. Not really feeling this one anymore. It's not terrible as a big dumb rocker, but it lost me somewhere. The mix sounds pretty ratty to my tired brain right now. Maybe I'll like it more in the morning.

Another swing thing... sort of. Not as overt as the others, and I really wasn't planning on it. The GarageBand session drummer suggested it and I figured the session drummer knows best, right?

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…

As of now this will be the last 12 bar blues, but I could always sneak another one in under the wire.

Well... I don't know. It was late at night one night back in August, the 3rd to be exact, and I said to myself, "self? You know what you're lacking? Swing grooves."
