These songs were written during the most ridiculously awful winter I can remember. The damn blizzards just kept coming and coming.

Another Lovey song about my Lovey.

I give up! I totally bit off more than I was willing to chew. Three things. One, I wanted a song to hit 10 minutes. Two, I wanted to record a song in sections and then edit them together later. Three, I wanted to program something in 7/8…

Shoot as in, with a camera. Get it?

This is about everyone in my family being on the same page about how to go about dealing with some scary health symptoms a loved one was showing.

The rhythm guitar is a scratch track. Can't you tell?

The guitar is my 12-string. I only had a couple of minutes left on the tape so I threw on something short.

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.

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…
