2024 50/90 Challenge Day 18/90

Day 18 was a pretty good day.

I had three “songs” that were just a collection of 3-4 little bass riffs. I started the day by turning each of those little collections into a full song form. Once that was done I had four songs forms that were ready for rhythm guitar tracks. I put the rhythm guitar tracks onto all four songs. After that I was feeling like I was in a bit of a guitar playing groove. I didn’t have any rhythm tracks left to do so I started recording leads. I added them to two songs before my finger tips were done for a while. I had other things to do as well so it was a good time to take a break. Instead I ended up mixing two songs. After that I went on to other non-musical stuff.

Like I said, it was a pretty good day. It would have been better if I could have written a new lyric or two, but I am not complaining at all.

Unity and Stuff

So… Biden is dropping out of the presidential race. He endorsed Vice President Harris. I don’t know how that is going to work as far as the convention and the nomination process will work over the next few weeks but…

I was really pissed off and feeling like the universe was kicking me while I was down…

But then…

Depression turned to anger which then turned to passionate determination.

Kamala Harris is going to kick the shit out of that nazi fuck. She’s going to be a human fire hose who pressure washes the filth out of our country. Hell yes.

I may or may not have just donated a few bucks to the Harris for President campaign.

Maybe in some weird, unexpected way, all of this ridiculousness is going to unite us against the fascist scumbag. A boy can hope at least, right?

Make That Four Songs Down and 46 to Go

Another new song has been mixed and unleashed on the unsuspecting public.

It’s meh.

I don’t plan on posting every song I come up with for this year’s 50 songs in 90 days thing, but having said that… I might.

Is Liz Warren Busy Right Now?

Shit.

Seriously… shit.

President Biden has apparently announced that he’s dropping out of the election.

We the people are completely fucked.

Are we going to get another primary? Are we going to just ignore the primary system and go back to the old system of just having state delegates pick the candidate at the convention? The convention starts on August 19th. Can we swing a new primary by then? What is my Senator, Elizabeth Warren up to right now? She got a presidential primary vote from me once before, can she get another one now?

I’ll happily vote for Vice President Harris if that’s how this works out, but I think this move more or less guarantees a win for the orange nazi goo boy and fascism, and it probably signals a quick and painful end to this American experiment thing.

American democracy had a good run, I guess.

Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck

Three Down, 47 to Go

I mixed another song. The 50 Songs in 90 Days Challenge count is up to three now. Three songs finished and only 47 more to go. WOOHOO!

I screwed up my morning routine one day and it became a cheesy song. Enjoy my goofiness!

Sunday Guitar

I think today’s band practice is going to be cancelled. I think we need to start planning on a different day and time.

In place of band practice I have done a ton of work on 50/90. Well… maybe not a ton, but a really good morning’s worth. I have added tracks to six songs. There might be time for more too. We’ll have to see.

Additional good news. Whatever was wrong with my stomach yesterday has cleared up. I knew it would, it just took most of the day. Here’s hoping it doesn’t come back for a while. A long while.

For now though, here are the obligatory guitar pics from this morning’s goofiness.

2024 50/90 Challenge Day 17/90

17 days in. It was a pretty good day. Let us recap.

I started the day by putting vocals onto five songs. That brings us to a total of 15 songs with complete vocal tracks. In just over two weeks? Epic.

Later in the day I also added lyrics and melodies to two songs. I was just about to start working on a third song when I ran out of time. That was it for the day. Any day that adds vocal tracks is a successful day in my book. I am pleased.

You Turkey

Our back yard visitors from the other day left a present.

Car Music and Other Weirdness

I woke up with a weird stomach today. I was able to eat breakfast, but drinking water has been… odd… which is… odd. Something I ate yesterday is unhappy today. I am willing to bet it was the gross/amazing Chili’s kids meal pizza. That’s a pretty safe bet, I think.

It didn’t stop me from doing a great big honkin’ car music today though. I took the five songs worth of lyrics and melodies I worked on yesterday and sang them all while sitting in the empty(ish) mall parking lot. Excellent. Now I have to figure out if there will be any time for any more music today. Not likely. I have to help my father with something and do the food shopping and possibly go on a home office shopping trip today. We’ll see what comes along.

First pointless photo is my car music view:
