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…

50/90 Challenge song number five of 50. I feel like most of what I am coming up with right now is overly simplistic. Is that a conscious thing or not? I don't know. This one has the benefit of being a blues in A minor in 3/4 time. A waltzing…

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 5090 Song Number 12. Is it a requirement for one of these goofy writing/recording internet challenges to write something ballady in 6/8 time? If it is then mark me as done. I keep saying this, but the songs feel very overly simple…

5090 Song number 11 out of 50. I like this one. I am kinda enjoying it's groove. Have you caught on to the gimmick in the lyrics yet? It's something I want to do semi regularly this summer and I think this is the second song I posted that…

50/90 Song number eight of 50. In my defense, I did give you seven whole songs before sharing the one with the 24 measures of backwards guitar solo buried under 700 tons of delay and a rotary speaker. I didn't drop this soupy mess onto you…

50/90 Challenge song Seven of 50. Eh. I don't think I like this one. The vocal melody I came up with was a tad too much for my meager singing skills. It wasn't too bad, just not that good. Oh well. The groove is kinda fun to solo over…

50/90 song number six. A couple of experimental type things (for me, at least) on this song. First: I mixed this through actual speakers. I feel a little giddy just typing that. I don't think I've mixed anything through speakers since…

The fifth song started for the RPM Challenge is the fourth finished, and it's the title song for the album (assuming I don't change my mind in the next five days). Lyrically this is a write what you know kind of song. The Guilt Machine in…

The third song finished for this year's RPM Challenge is the 13th song started. As with everything this year it's too long. The vocals are a bit too pitchy, but I think I can live with it today. Ask me again tomorrow and I might have a different…
