I mixed my second RPM song tonight. I liked it a lot more before I realized that the guitar part was stolen from Tanya Donelly’s song “The River” from the absolutely Earth shatteringly brilliant Throwing Muses album House Tornado. I feel like a tool now.

One Song Down
The RPM Challenge has kicked into gear and I have one song complete. Not sure how I feel about this one as the guitar sounds fishy in the chorus and I’m frankly too tired to know if the mix is any good or not. This might get some additional work.
The RPM Challenge Begins!
It’s February 1st and The RPM Challenge is officially underway! Good luck to all participants.
I am ready to start as soon as I run a couple of errands. First, we are meeting a friend for breakfast. Second I need to drive home from New York. Nothing major.
I hope to watch the Super Bowl tonight with my guitar in hand and a copy of GarageBand open and running in front of me.
I also wanted to focus on a single guitar this time. If it’s going to be my Les Paul, then I need to get some strings.
…and they’re off!
Old Music
Say hello to the first demo of 2015! RPM starts in just under 13 days so it’s time to start blitzing you all with new demos of old songs. This is a Prime Meridian song. One of the last we wrote. It comes from 1999 (or so) and was more or less forgotten about.
It’s kinda groovy, isn’t it?
Rejection
I sent four of my home demos to the other three guys in the band tonight. Let the rejection begin.
I suppose I should keep a list of what I offer to them so that I won’t give them the chance to reject the same song twice.

I Finished NaSoAlMo
Here it is, the completed NaSoAlMo playlist. Maybe one song is better than garbage… maybe. Probably not.
While I was at it I posted the four songs from October because… yeah.
All Done
The next NaSoAlMo post you see will be the final, finished playlist. I’m done!
Only One Song Left to Finish
Down to the home stretch for NaSoAlMo. Only one song left to go before I declare the thing done.
Song #5
I mixed the fifth song for November tonight. Not sure why I left the drums off of it until the very end. Also not sure if I like it without any drums until the very end.
NaSoAlMo – Four Songs Finished
I finished song #4 tonight. I recorded the leads and mixed it all down. Not sure if I like this one or not. I’m definitely on the fence.
