La próxima vez que alguien quiera hacerle un “comentario constructivo” a una de mis fotos, que se lea esto. Dos veces. Y que piense cómo me voy a estar descojonando:

Next time some wise-ass tries to give me a “constructive critique” I’m gonna pull this link and have the laugh of my life…

The 2007 RPM challenge

Filed under: Muzak,News — Chaovsky @ 04:46

This is the challenge: record an album in 28 days, just because you can.

That’s 10 songs or 35 minutes of original material recorded during the month of February. Go ahead… put it to tape.

It’s a little like National Novel Writing Month, (NaNoWriMo.org) where writers challenge each other to write 1,700 words a day for 30 days, or the great folks over at February Album Writing Month (fawm.org), who encourage artists to write 14 new songs in February. Maybe they don’t have “Grapes of Wrath” or “Abbey Road” at the end of the month, or maybe they do—but that’s not the point. The point is they get busy and stop waiting around for the muse to appear. Get the gears moving. Do something. You can’t write 1,700 words a day and not get better.[...]

Write some instrumentals, split up the songwriting duties amongst band members, form an RPM side project, write songs on the piano or clarinet instead of your primary instrument, make that metal album you’ve always wanted to – buy a ukulele! Just do your best to make the best album you can. Be unafraid.

What if every musician you knew put their music first for 28 days?

What if you recorded the best song of your life?

What if the world was never the same?

What’s stopping us? Nothing. February is Record Production Month. You have no reason to say no, and nothing to lose.

After not making music for nearly a year, I think this is exactly the type of challenge I need to get myself going. Now, where’s that banjo?
