It’s not a challenge if there were never any failures. Besides CRAXYBRAIN, a few other one or two hour challenges have fallen to the wayside and were left unfinished for a variety of reasons.
The first is one written by Jim and I while messing around on my son’s guitar. Sort of a bossa nova, but the rhythm and strumming is a little wonky because both Jim and I played during different sections. In the end, we were out of time, didn’t have lyrics done, and weren’t totally happy with the progress so far, so we let it slip.
The second track is one that I wrote just after Blonski finished Blizzard last winter. I wanted to get back to recording live drums in the style of Vacation, but didn’t want to go through the trouble of setting up my full set. I resorted to using my son’s toy drum set. The results were predictable. Still, I like some of the guitar writing and Blonski’s bass and keys are solid as always.
I still have to get around to mixing down the initial unfinished WPOP tracks, but after that my vault cleanup should be nearly complete. Looks like my house is almost ready for Windows 10 clean installs!
