SURPRISE, BUTTHOLES!!! It’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! Groove of the Day makes its not-very-triumphant return, as my RPM album for 2019.
WHAT IS GROOVE OF THE DAY?!
Great question, fictional person! It’s a a thing I did a long time ago where I made a song every day and put it on Tumblr and then told everyone to listen (they did not). It started a little over 5 years ago, and now it’s back in a seasonal form- this season is for the RPM Challenge!

WAIT, WHAT IS THAT, AND HOW DOES ANY OF THIS WORK?
You’re very nosy, fake person, but I’ll explain: the RPM Challenge is a month long challenge to make an album in the month of February, and this year I’m gonna try to do Groove of the Day, wherein I make a song every day, for that!

AREN’T YOU… PRETTY BEHIND???
YES! But, I’ll catch up- I intend to have 28 songs by the end of the month, so get ready for some days with multiple grooves.

TELL ME ABOUT THIS FIRST ONE!
FINALLY- this, like the very first groove, is a bit of an unassuming song that sneaks up on you, but this time I did all with acoustic instruments, whereas before it was all electronic. This has 4 tracks of baby guitar (2 tapping, one chordal, and one melody), some melodica, and that’s it! I added some effects to make it sound a bit more dreamy and weird, but I wanted to keep it simple at first. This song follows your classic ABABCtilldeath structure, and is all based around a tapping riff I came up with when I wanted to tune my guitar weird. The melody feels a little… simple to me, but truth be told I sorta forget how to write songs…? It’s been awhile, gang. I had Rachel name it, and continued the streak of “not knowing how we used to do this” by just yelling “MING MONG!” at me- I’m calling it a prelude because I intend to use a lot of these elements in a bigger song this month… maybe for the next groove?! Oh, and Phone It In (the series where I make the groove entirely on my phone) is back because FL Mobile friggin’ RIPS, dude!

OK, I’m Tired- Goodbye???
