Song idea #2 becomes finished song 2/50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge. I feel like this song is almost good. Not quite, but almost. It's like being a decent song was in it's grasp but it somehow fell short. The shitty mix and shittier lead…

2023 50/90 challenge song idea #1. One down, 49 to go. This isn't so much a song as an exercise. One of the things I want to play with this year is using time signatures I've never attempted before. This song is in 13/8 and there are timing…

I can't sing to save my life anymore. This was the first of 10 songs I started for a June 2023 Album in a Month project and it was the last song I finished. Probably because it is not good at all. All of the guitars are a Les Paul standard…

I really have lost whatever tiny amount of singing ability I used to have, right? Who knew that my vocal skills were dependent on not losing a ton of weight. I didn't see that coming. This is a rare example of a song that I like more after…

The next time you get an idea to experiment with 5/8 time........ don't. The rhythm guitar tracks are my Les Paul into an Analog Man King of Time into a Vox MV50. I think the leads are the same but I forgot to write it down on the Trello card…

This might have been the fastest mix I've ever been a part of. That might be because there's nothing really going on here. I probably should have raised the vocals a smidge though, but I am really down on my singing ability these days. All…

Not a very good song, especially not a very good mix. It's okay though. Well... except for the crap vocals. Guitars are all Les Paul Standard. Pedals are all Analog Man King of Tone. Amp on the rhythm tracks is a Vox MV50's direct output…

This is on the short list for my June 2023 Record Every Month Challenge submission, but I think the mix is going to make me go with something else this time. The song was purposely super easy, but I think I made it a smidge too busy in the mix…

I am hoping to finish the month of June 2023 with 10 new songs. Only one can be my submission for the Record Every Month Challenge. There are two candidates on the short list. This is one. I like this. There isn't much to it, I just like…

Another June 2023 song. I like this one. I embraced the funky and sort of didn't exactly fail. One rig was used for both lead and rhythm guitar tracks. My Les Paul Standard into an Analog Man King of Tone into a Vox MV50's cabinet sim line…

I like everything about this song except the mix, the vocals, the lyrics, the melody, the guitar leads, the rhythm guitar tracks, the overall guitar tones, the bass line, and the bass tone. The rhythm guitars are my Les Paul Standard into an…

Another song for the Record Every Month Challenge. I was hoping to do two songs per month (as in a single A side and B side). In June I am hoping to do a full 10 song album. I have half a month to go and still a lot of work to do. If I fail…

The Record Every Month Challenge asks us to record music every month. I failed in May. Well, I failed to finish any songs. I actually started 10 of them. I wanted to do an album in a month. Now it's June and I want to do another album in…

The Record Every Month Challenge to record one song each month for the whole year isn't stressful enough, so I upped the ante to be record a single every month. An A Side and a B Side. This song is the A Side for April. I like it... I don't…

I had a thought about recording an EP entirely on my iPad and having that be my Record Every Month project for April. I ended up with four songs, but I am only going to be finishing two on time. I guess that counts as my record a single every…

The second of two songs written and recorded for the March 2023 Record Every Month Challenge. My mini challenge within the main challenge is to record a single. This would be the B side. I am not going to say I don't like the song, because…

Written and recorded for the Record Every Month Challenge in March 2023. I'm thinking of trying to record a single each month this year. This would be the A side for March. The idea started bubbling up in my head at the tail end of the RPM…

I worked on 15 songs for this year's RPM Challenge. One was dropped before I wrote lyrics for it. One was dropped after it was mixed. This one and one other were dropped after tracking was finished but before they were mixed. I didn't like…

This song features some of the worst performances I've ever allowed to make it online. Oh well. The vocals are terrible. The leads are handcuffed (my fingers hurt so much while recording this that I couldn't get them to do anything). The rhythm…

There is a noticeable lack of weird time signatures in this year's RPM Challenge. I think this is the only 7/8 song. There are a couple of 6/8 but that's nothing too unusual. There is an 11/8 which almost made my brain explode, but that's another…
