The RPM Challenge

The RPM challenge is to record an Album in 29 days.  I read about this in a blog, checked it out, and was horrified to see that it runs for the month of Feb, and I’ve already wasted a week simply by not knowing about it!  Ahhhh.    RPM stands not for Rev’s per Minute, but in this case for  Recording Production Month.  I think it’s a brill idea and signed up right away.  You’re allowed to use pre-written material so that’s a big help since I’m starting a week late.  I’ll still have to do some writing too, but not a whole albums worth in two days   I’m trawling through a ton of ancient demos and lyrics to try and find what is easily salvageable or rewritable.  I plan to have ten songs really roughly demo’d by midnight tomorrow night.  So far since this morning I have five songs chosen for resurrection, have written two more songs, and still need to pull three more out of somewhere…    Deadlines are great motivators.
