(Re)considering the RPM Challenge

January 8th, 2009

Next month kicks off this year’s RPM Challenge. RPM Challenge dares its participants to record a complete album of original music in one month. The album must contain either 10 songs or 40 minutes of music. I originally signed up for the challenge back in 2007, but my guitar broke during the first week, and I had to ship it to the manufacturer to be repaired. I considered the challenge again in 2008, but I never really got into it. After a short AIM conversation I had yesterday with MikeyPod, I’m considering taking up the challenge again this year. Of course, there’s no fame or fortune to be gained in something like the RPM Challenge. But that’s not the point. For me, it’d be a good way to kick start the creative juices, and make something happen this year with music. Also, Ill have to finish my guitar repairs in order to even do the challenge, so that’d at least clear one item from my to-do list. Stay tuned here and also to The Sidebars MySpace blog for updates.

    Go for it, Shawn! I think you’ll do really well. Don’t let a guitar malfunction from last year stop you from entering this year. Good luck!

    You can do it! I thought about trying it but just don’t think I can do it right now. But if I can do NaNoWriMo, you got this one in the bag!

    [...] really like the replacement neck. But I’ve got to do something, as it’s almost time for the RPM Challenge. Will work on it some more later, as it’s getting late and I need to get some sleep. Tags: [...]
