Dave's RPM 2011 Thread - 2/20/11 10 Songs & DONE !!!

[tonyoci]

I overlooked that issue I'll do it the next time you post a song.

[The Cracks]

Ah, I didn't notice Tony created the thread.

Two new songs:

Let's Go - About bands having to go hit the road

Sudsy's - A club I used to go to in the 80's that had washing machines

Need to keep moving to kick this RPM thing though the goalposts!

[The Cracks]

Good work, Dave.

I especially like "Let's Go".

[tonyoci]

Well I've updated it but I only see 5 songs, even though you called Let's Go #7

And here are the rest:

Pop: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10322324

And I am DONE! Wooo Whooo. Very fun experience! But now I want to take a break from spending every spare moment writing or posting songs for a little while. LOL.

WantU:
this is the same link as the one for NuWave

NuWave:
good openening, good drive to this
not totally onboard with the synth use, though.

Baby:
like the sparse instrumentation on this.

Home:
southern fried goodness
almost doesn't sound like you, very different

Pop:
dunno, like some elements to this but it seems to lack a certain energy, like you're still working the song ideas out or something.
this is probably one that would benefit from some extra time spent on it.
grew on me a little bit after listening to the whole thing.

congrats on meeting your goal.
you even had a few days to spare, go dave!

[The Cracks]

Good job, Dave.

I liked "Baby" and the guitar on "Home". The first two were the same, but don't worry, we believe you actually had 10.

I personally didn't like the experience but I like that it got me writing again. I doubt I'll go through this next year.

[criddlerus]

Thanks for the comments Lucas! Yes, I discussed it on the show, but I think what I really learned this year was a better workflow. You could tell by the end that my demos ended up sounding much more complete.

Good that it got you writing Cracks! I think that is the point anyway. Use the RPM for whatever helps you!

I have been seriously slacking after my February effort but I may get back into the swing soon.

And here is the "missing tune". It was actually one of my personal top 3 from the RPM effort:
