This is my entry for the RPM Challenge in 2007. I'm not particularly proud of it, but I decided I'd throw it up here, warts and all, since without the imposed restrictions I seem to have little else to show for myself. Thanks for checking it out and lots of love to everyone!

You're not proud of it? Dude! You made an album in 28 days. Be loud and proud! My RPM album has lots of warts, too--in MY opinion. But we are always our own worst critics. Sometimes we suck in our own minds, but other people like our work. So maybe we should stop listening to our own insecurity and just make our music and be proud that we have the gift, at all. The ability to make music IS a tremendous gift, after all. Heh...I am drawn to "Arrhythmia," because I have that particularly annoying affliction, myself. ;P

Hey! I've been listening this morning for the RPM compilation. A lot of people have been choosing Sightseeing, which is great, but I really, really like Bigger Veins, that song is amazing! Great work overall!!!
