Day 44 (yesterday) was busy and stressful and rough. There wasn’t a lot of time for musical fun. I did sneak in a mix though. 24 songs down.

24 songs down for the 50 songs in 90 days challenge. 26 to go.

Day 43 was a bit better than the nothing on day 42. I added one new song idea, which is just a bass riff or two, bringing the current count up to 39. I also mixed a song that doesn’t completely suck. That was nice.

Nothing. I failed to get any work done. Too much real life stuff going on and way too little sleep over the previous few days.

One new idea. Number 38. It’s just a couple of bass riffs.

That’s all for the day.

Day 40 was almost a wasted day, but at about 10:30 when I should have been going to sleep… when my body was telling me that I was going to have a really shitty Tuesday if I didn’t go to sleep right away… I mixed one song.

Day 39 was a good day. Four songs got vocals. Those four songs and two others got lead guitars. One of the songs that got both was also mixed.

Because I am insane and the challenge to write 50 songs in 90 days is not crazy enough, I also give myself the additional challenge of doing an RPM Challenge rules album in a month each month. That means I need 10 songs that are written and recorded entirely in each month. The song I mixed is the first song that qualifies for August. I had 20 in July. Of the 17 songs still in progress now, I think nine were started in August and should qualify (assuming I finish them in August). The rest were started but not finished in July so they don’t count.

21 songs down, 29 to go. The 50 songs in 90 days challenge is one step closer to finished.

I mixed this tonight while more or less falling asleep. Now that it’s done and I am happy with the finished song I am going to sleep. Good night, everyone!
