This year’s RPM Challenge — write and record an entire album in one month — is under way. That’s roughly a song every three days. My first one for the challenge is called “Rabbit.” The vocals on the second half of the song aren’t very good, but I have to move on for now.

great work.
the bassline at the top reminds me of Walk on the Wild Side.

I love this–gives “Summer of ‘69″ a run for its money, and I love the line, “We have a plan but no getaway car.” Also really, really like the vocals on this–and the KICKBUTT electric Youngian fade-in. (I have no music lingo, so please forgive my inept description.) What I’m saying is, it rocks.

Nice start… reminds me of grandaddy. How much of this is done with midi drums or samples vs live guitars/keyboards/things? It sounds very cohesive regardless so maybe it doesn’t matter.. Good luck with the rest of the month.. I should probably start calling in sick to get some work done for ours…
Thx! The only “real” instrument is a nylon string guitar. Even the “electric” guitar that comes in later is really a nylon string guitar running through some effects. Everything else — bass, drums, atmospherics, etc. — is all done with Reason and Live. Yes.. I may have to “throw my back out” this month to get more done.
