A song about cats. No really. The lyrics are about cats. I am being 100% honest. I need a lyricist, badly. I wanted to keep this one simple but I ended up with all sorts of soupy sauce everywhere and I compressed the hell out of it…

Tempest Fero Lives again! My first real band was called Tempest Fero. We shoulda rethought that name. Anyway, this was one of the first four or five songs we wrote. There should be keyboard, but I don't have the skill or the patience to…

This song marks two milestones in my silly little music recording existence. First it is the very first time I recorded a song that used electric guitars that only used a Fender guitar. When I bought the Strat last weekend this was the only…

I was listening to the two Jack Bruce/Robin Trower records from 1981. I was sort of digging the whole aging-white-guys-making-a-show-of-being-funky vibe and decided to steal it. The result is this cheese ball of a 12-bar. In GarageBand…

One of the few songs on my March Music list that entirely came from March, at least in terms of the music. The lyrics were written in May, but who's counting. The guitar solos were played on my new Strat. It feels so weird. The title comes…

This one dates back to 1992 or 93 or so. It falls in the wasted years between the end of the band I started playing with in high school and the band I started playing in after leaving college. It was played by a bunch of short lived bands in…

This is an April song. It's bad enough that I think it might be completely ripped off of a 2013 RPM song, but the mix turned into a sloppy mess. I might remix it, but then again I might just give up. The lyrics are about our failed attempt…

When I finished RPM at the end of February I decided to immediately start on a new project for March. I called it RPMarch. At least I did until I failed to finish on time. This was the first song I worked on. The bass part actually dates back…

The lyrics to this one are another in the quickly growing group inspired by stories shared by @floridaman on twitter. http://www.mynews13.com/content/news/cfnews13/news/article.html/content/news/articles/cfn/2014/3/21/fl_bar_fight.html This…

This was written and recorded in February for FAWM, but I kept it off of the RPM album because it sounded like crap and I didn't like anything about the recording. Literally nothing was worth keeping. Except maybe for the fade out at the end…

A song about deadlines, the lyrics and melody were written during a free half an hour, hence the topic. This was supposed to have a clip from the movie Highlander at the beginning but I can't get to it right now. Picture Connor and Castigere…

Think of this (lyrically speaking) as Anti-Vaxer's Lament Part 2. I wrote both lyrics at the same time. The rhythm guitars used Amplitube's Fender Twin app while the leads used Amplitube's Jimi Hendrix app.

This was the first idea I came up with for my album-in-a-month for April. I didn't intend to have it be three distinct sections. I originally meant to have it bouncing between quiet and heavy every 8 or 16 bars. I like the way it turned out…

The lyrics were inspired by a story I read via the @floridaman twitter account. I find myself going there for lyric ideas ALL THE TIME! http://blogs.tcpalm.com/off_the_beat_will_greenlee_blog/2014/04/a-quick-kiss-on-the.html Before RPM14…

This is the last song to be finished for the 2014 RPM Challenge / FAWM. DONE! I’m not an eloquent man I do the best that I can The words are hard to find It’s tough to speak my mind I never know what to say it comes out wrong any…

This song was originally meant to be played on piano, but being a bad pianist I switched it to guitar. Being a glutton for punishment though meant I switched it to 12-string. I had a bear of a time getting the part right, and then doubling everything…

I thought about stitching two similar songs together with this as the break in between. Now that I have it all done though, I don't think I want to do it anymore. it will be a cold day in hell before I give you the time of day it will be…

This was supposed to be my big dynamic song. Quiet for the most part but then out of nowhere... BOOM! Heavy rock anthem. Did it work? Eh. Sort of, maybe? I like the quiet parts. The heavy parts are kind of in the way. I thought about cutting…

You've heard the phrase, "fix it in the mix" right? This is my attempt. I am seriously burnt out on RPM. I'm not feeling it anymore. I'm not hearing it anymore. I'm not physically capable of playing well anymore. I recorded the guitar leads…

Another bad vocal performance. Are you sensing a trend? The music to this was written on my iPad while sitting in the car in a parking lot waiting for my step daughter to get out of winter softball practice. I then transferred it to my MacBook…
