47 Songs Down, Three to Go

It’s almost 2:00am. I went to a wedding tonight and when I got home I couldn’t sleep so I finished this mix. I don’t know if it’s any good. I’m too tired to be able to tell.

46 Songs Down, Four to Go

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.

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.
