The first song started for RPM 2014, and the first song finished. The rhythm guitars are a doubled 12-string. The vocals are doubled, when not in harmony. Doubling has become one of the minor themes this year.

One last re-recording before the RPM Challenge craziness begins. This was written during Spring Break in 1998 and recorded as part of my fake-late-RPM attempt in 2007. I like this song a lot, but I've never been quite able to get it sounding…

Another song from old pre-garageband RPMs. The arrangement stayed the same this time. I just added some vocal harmonies and added some goofy effects.

I've got a handful of songs from the 2009-2011 RPM projects that I've been wanting to re-record and update. I over cooked this one a little. The rhythm guitars, both electric and acoustic, and the vocal are all doubled. I had a hard time fitting…

This was written in 1991. I'm not sure, but I think it might be the first song I ever wrote from top to bottom all by myself. It was done by a few bands in the early/mid 90's including one that recorded a four song demo in a 28 track studio…

This is my complete entry for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. The album is called Radio and it's a suite of seven songs tied together with the sound of a radio being tuned. It's done.

Seven songs, over 33 minutes. There you have it, I have a complete NaSoAlMo project. I've tried a number of times, but this is the first time I've ever finished. I am still going to edit these seven songs together with some sound effects as…

Song #6 of 7 for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. This one puts me over the time minimum. Hooray, I can say I am done. But wait, there's still more to come! This is an exercise more than a song. It is 8 bars repeated endlessly, with each repeat adding…

Song #5 out of 7. This one has the obligatory guitarmonies, and the obligatory simulated leslie. Rock on.

This is the fourth of seven for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. I think this was the first thing I worked on, but everything is so disorganized right now that I haven't got a clue anymore. Four part harmonies in the chorus. Yes, a first for me. Sure…

#3 out of 7 for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. I wanted to have a 12-string rhythm guitar on every song for this project. I ended up dropping that plan, but this one made it through. I also wanted one song to have a sort of free form section. This one…

The second of an (expected) seven songs for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. The first mix to feature really bad playing on my new 12-string. Again, it's a swampy, muddy mess made on the piece of crap that is the new Garageband.

I think this year marks my fourth crack at NaSoAlMo, National Solo Album Month. This song marks the first time in those four attempts that I've actually finished a song within the month of November.

This was written at the same time as Laughing. The plan was to try writing songs that I could sing while playing the guitar. I think I played my first bedroom recording of this (with me playing my brother's drums, gasp!) to Mike the bass player…

I don't remember a whole lot about this one. I wrote it along with two others in my bedroom at my parents' house, probably in 1993 or 94. I know the idea was to write stuff that I might be able to sing and play at the same time. This was played…

The year was 1989 and my high school rock band, Tempest Fero, was feelin' proggie! I can't remember who wrote what for this one. I do know we were quite stoked to have the little 4/4 to 3/4 to 6/8 thing at the end of the quiet parts. I also…

I was not happy with my first mix of this thing. I changed the drums on both songs and the bass on the first song and redid all the effects. It's a little better now. Maybe. Kind of. I wrote this when I uploaded the first mix: Two songs that…

At long last, the seventh of the seven unfinished songs from my failed 2007 RPM is now finished! It's Miller Time! It's only six years late, but it's done. So tell me, are the congas and the triangles and the strings with the tremolos over…

This makes four Tempest Fero songs re-recorded. It's like high school all over again. This one is from 1987, or 1988, or something like that. Today was the first time I ever sang lead on this song. I used to sing the harmony but there was…

One of, if not the, cheesiest songs I've ever attached my name to. This was the second song written by my first "real" band (as in a band that played gigs, rarely, as well as wrote its own songs, rarely). We joked around with lyric ideas a couple…
