The triumphant return (not really, this song is a turd) of Florida Man. This is a story about a guy who called 9-1-1 to ask for a ride to the store. Awesome.
The music is kinda weak. It’s not bad, but it’s not A-list either.

45 Songs Down, Five to Go
This isn’t the 50th song finished, it’s 45th, but it did start out as idea #50. I thought somehow that a goofy swing thing with sappy lyrics was fitting. Do you agree?
50/90: 44 Down, Six to Go
Only six more songs to go, and I have six songs in progress. There are still 17 days to go. I’m not feeling confident yet, but I will say I’m thinking about trying to get to 51 songs. We’ll see.
5090: 43 Down, Seven to Go
The idea was to have a hectic verse and a simpler chorus. It sort of worked at first, until I swapped out my simple iPad drums for the GarageBand Drummer function. Now the chorus feels pretty hectic too. Somehow that’s all right with me.
5090: 42 Down, Eight to Go
Is this one too long?
The verse is a 12-bar blues phrase, but the rest of the song isn’t. Clever? Probably not.
50/90: 41 Down, Nine to Go
I went into 50/90 thinking I’d do some simple guitar/voice things just to pad my numbers. I haven’t done that at all, although this one might sound that way. It’s just two guitars, a bass, and one vocal. I wanted it that way though. The verse part is something I noodle on all the time, and have been doing it for decades. Emin7 – Dmaj7. Real simple. I just thought I’d use it in a song. I’ve probably already used it in a song somewhere, but I just can’t think of one off the top of my head. That’s what happens when you write song after song after song without ever having to rehearse them again… you end up repeating yourself when you are sure you’re not repeating yourself.
40 Down, 10 to Go
I was supposed to post this last night but I fell asleep. I mixed two songs. The first is a big dumb slow rocker with lyrics that even I can’t figure out what they’re about.
The second is a quiet little strummy guy with lyrics about how pointless these stupid music challenges are.
37 Down, 13 to Go
The lyrics are about a ghost story I found here. The whole song was written, recorded, and mixed today. Every last bit of it, all done today. I think the last time I did that might have been 2001 when I was in college.
Song #36 of 50
I mixed this last night. I was mostly asleep. The riffs are cheese and the lyrics are dumb. Not very proud of this one.
35 Songs Down, 15 More to Go
I mixed two songs tonight. I wanted to get some guitar playing in, but we’ll just have to settle for the mixes.
This one is sort of about how much money Market Basket lost during the whole CEO fiasco. Now that it’s over I haven’t been into a store yet, but I will at some point this weekend.
Tonight’s second song is about being a teenager who knows everything. I guess. Sort of. Something like that. Originally it was going to be about how the music sounds like Journey and how much that pissed me off. But somehow it turned into a high school kinda thing. I guess. Sort of.
