Nothing really noteworthy about this one except that it's in 7/8 time. If I didn't stop myself I'd write every song in 7/8 time. I just like my rock and roll in screwy time signatures. What's a red head to do, right? Guitars are all Gibson…

How's that for some word salad, eh? Throw a little Italian dressing on this one and you've got yourself a healthy meal! I've been trying to challenge myself vocally with more complicated melodies and lots of lyrics and things like that, even…

A couple of months ago I came up with a couple of things that used polyrhythms. The drums were in one time signature and everything else was in another. I had some fun with it then and tried it again and... well, I got pretty bored with it really…

I don't like the rhythm guitars on this one. I had both pickups on and now I wish I just had the bridge pickup. It would have been toppier and less muddy. Finally a song that is about something specific, even if it doesn't make much sense…

I'm really tired right now so this mix might sound awful and I won't know. Also, 50/90 might be hitting a snag in that I have a bit of an injury to my left hand. It's not getting better and while recording the leads on this puppy it was affecting…

A couple of unusual things with this one. There's an overdrive pedal in there that I've never used before. Meaning, I had never even plugged it in before. I bought it like six months ago and it sat on my dresser just waiting for me to play…

Another in an endless string of recordings that would have been saved by a competent singer. Maybe. I like the individual pieces of this song, but I don't think I like the song as a whole. Okay... maybe I don't like the chorus at all. I don…

Not the worst song I've ever pieced together, but far from the best. I'll file this one under: Meh. Gibson ES335 into a Vox AC15 and a Fender Bassbreaker 15. The rhythm guitars used a Ryra the Klone and a Wren and Cuff Super Russian, and…

I may need to remix this. I ended up mixing it at very low volume with an ancient pair of Apple ear pods. It might sound like cow dung for all I know. I like this. It's kinda funky and it was fun to play. I like how I ended up with harmony…

I kinda like this one. The melody in the hook is kinda fun, and having the guitar play a melody of its own was something fun that I don't do often. The lyrics are stream of conscious garbage, meaning they are probably about the idiot in the…

A not-so-terrible groove kinda falls flat. I've never said this before, and I doubt I'll ever say this again, but maybe the melody should have been written higher? I don't think a key change would do it, just a melody that sits a little higher…

Strange that 5090 hasn't had any odd time signatures yet. Expect a barrage of 7/8 time eventually, but for today here's a little 3/4. One of my goals in life is to prove that 3/4 can rock like nobody's business. Someday I want to write a death…

Two things: First, I don't know who it was, but some meathead accidentally deleted a harmony vocal track in the last chorus. Again, I don't know who it was but no amount of command-z'ing would bring it back. I mean, I command-z'd the shit…

Maybe if I could sing there wouldn't be so many notes out of tune. Pitchy, like a mutha. Not sure about this one. It's not really holding up in my mind. Too generic? I like the strummy guitar leads. That's about it. The signal path…

Do you know where the title comes from? One of the Disney Parks (I don't remember which one), as part of it's Covid-19 re-opening plan, suggested to patrons that screaming on a ride is a good way to spread the coronavirus, so instead they ask…

Round two of what? I'd tell you if I had even the slightest idea. I'm pretty pleased with this one. Well, I don't completely hate it at least. I think it could have benefited from some rehearsing, which during 50/90 is asking a lot…

I tried to do something a little weirder rhythmically and ended up with something that feels just a little off. Just a little out of time, just a little ragged. I don't know. I don't think the song is bad, it's all just a smidgen off. I…

So... that harmonic on the last beat before the first verse... Watch out for that puppy. If you've got headphones on that might be a little like an ice pick into your skull. I didn't plan it, I just did it. So... this is song #5 for 50…

Overall this one seems okay to me. The performance is pretty awful, but this song is all right. I don't like the transition from the first hook into the first verse. It feels awkward, but the second time seems better. Weird. Is it just a…

Yet another big dumb rocker, but this one I kinda like. I think it's the hyper active chorus, even though I could barely sing it without the wheels coming off the bus. I have no idea what the lyrics are about. None at all. The guitar parts…
