Eric here. Today’s topic was Chihuahuas. I bent the rules, but the word Chihuahua is in the song like seven times, so I think that’s fine. This is the last song by the way.
Poorly recorded (some clipping toward the end), but these things happen with demos.
Day 30 - Chihuahua
This is Eric. Everyone out there is a songwriter, and the good ones are rarely the ones who are serious about it. FYI I HATE songwriting. HATE IT. I’ve hated almost every part of this stupid exercise.
Eric here. Today’s suggestion came from Patrick Day, who’s probably a better songwriter than Donavan and me put together.
Day 28 - shirts v. skins
P.S.: Tumblr was down yesterday. I know you noticed.

NOTE: We reserve the right to accidentally skip ahead as whims dictate. Thanks very much for your suggestions and understanding.
Eric here. Dave from Boulder asked for “Colorado guy in love with LA girl.” This is my version of a folk song by this girl Emily Robinson who’s crazy scary good. 100 times better than I am.
ONLY 5 MORE DAYS OF THIS!!!! HELL YES!!!
Day 25 - LA Girl
Eric here. Mark Mauldin of Denver suggested “turquoise,” which is a pretty cool word I think. If I’d had the energy to produce it out with strings and bass I think this might have been decent. But I was exhausted. Probably the worst song-a-day I’ve done.
Day 24 - turquoise
Its a song that uses her name frequently.
Donovan
New Artist That Amazes Nearly Everyone!!!
Donovan
GMO. Donovan. It was gonna be instrumental but that seemed lazy.
God i got behind. I’ll be caught up tomorrow and it will be awesome
Donovan
Rude Canadians don’t exist. Donovan
Innocence is the girl next door.
Donovan
Eric here. Professor Steven Bauer took the suggestion guidelines to heart and reduced his song topic to one syllable. Gotta love when someone gets creative with the “one word or less” rule.
So he gave us “Gous.”
Awesome.
Day 23 - Gous Gous
Bubbles. Song.
Donovan
This song is about a house and emptiness and stuff.
Donovan
Catching up!!! you probably thought i quit. Here is beauty.
Donovan
This is Eric. Gretchen Wagner Borders suggested we use her name for today’s song topic. I decided Wagner Borders are some kind of fancy wallpaper or wood trim.
Day 22 - Wagner Borders
Eric here. Today was the second time I couldn’t come up with anything that felt worth finishing. The first time was about five days ago and I forced myself to finish the corny idea I had. Today I just turned on the mic and ad-libbed for 3 minutes.
Thing is, right now in the coffee shop “I want your sex” by George Michael is on the 80s station. It’s such a crappy song. I never realized exactly how bad it is. Some of my songs on here are crappy, but I don’t think they’re that bad. And I wrote them in like an hour each
Day 21 - no more GMOs
P.S.: Just noticed I left the mic on while transferring the song to PC. So yes that’s me cracking up at myself. No I don’t really think it’s that funny. And no I don’t drink.
