This is an expirement. I started this song during my first RPM Challenge attempt in 2007. All I had recorded was the rhythm guitar, bass, and the drum program. I want to start using garageband for my recording but I had never gotten around…

Driving South on a two lane interstate in Pennsylvania at 1:00am can be hazardous to your health. Just saying. The leads on this one used an actual amplifier instead of a headphone amp. My crybaby pedal needs to be cleaned, as you can hear.

I love my wife. I don't love this song. I had tried to use more settings on my Pod than usual. In some cases (this case) I don't like what I used.

What was I thinking about when I wrote the lyrics to this one? Probably driving South on a two lane in Pennsylvania again. Maybe drag racing? Who the hell knows.

Title Says it All.

I swear my cat is plotting to kill me.

The lyrics make me think I had just watched Top Gun... or Hot Shots... but I hadn't watched either of them. No clue where this one came from.

I love my wife.

I worked on this project in February and March of 2010, then again in January of 2011. In July of 2011 I made a final push, starting with the lyrics to this song. Hence the theme. On a side note, don't you hate it when you work a riff into…

Inspired by the bombing in Oslo... sort of. More about the news media scrambling to say something relevant even though the facts available are insufficient to lead to any intelligent conclusion. Speculating isn't always a smart idea.

It's not the worst song ever... but it's close.

A Bonus track. This was actually written for songfight.org. It probably should have been tacked onto the 2009 RPM record as the song fight took place between 07/29/08 and 08/08/08. I wrote it and recorded it with a scratch vocal in one…

My plan for the 2009 RPM Challenge was to get up a couple of hours early every day and take care of business before the business day started. I didn't want to take any time away from the family so that was my only option. This song is from the…

One of three songs with lyrics written about my RPM 2009 strategy. Something about this song appeals to me. I think it's my favorite one out of the ten. Early morning no sun in the sky undergrounded sleep still in my eyes Buried alive I try…

Just a dumb rocker. I like those now and then. The lyrics were pulled from two discarded ideas. One is about being nuts about my fiancé, the other... I have no idea. Donald Fagen maybe? No clue. Keep the runway open Keep the pathway clear…

The riff was inspired by an electronic device that has two speeds. I kept switching back and forth and listening to the hum popped this into my head. The lyric was supposed to be George W Bush bashing (the twit) but I don't really know what…

FAWM suggested we write something with time signature changes. I wanted to try it without messing with the 8 beat format I use to program my drum machine. This piece of crap was the result. I didn't realize until weeks later that I lifted a…

Volume pedal plus digital delay equals drone. come to me I love you be with me for always

My attempt at a 12-bar non-blues. Did it work? eh. The lyrics represent the first time in my life when I can write a love song and not feel like a liar. somethings you can't control like the rising of the sun some things you can't control…

Beginning to run low on ideas. I went back to my standard add-a-minor-seventh-to-every-chord gimmick. As for the lyrics, I wrote them on NHL trade deadline day and couldn't believe my Bruins traded for Mark Recchi. One month later it's looking…
