The RPM Challenge for 2008 begins this coming Friday. Here's the bulletin post from the organizers from a day or two ago:

"That's right folks, there's less than one week left to sign up for the the 2008 RPM Challenge, the global music experiment that encourages musicians around the world to write and record an album - 10 songs or 35 minutes of music - during the month of February.

This is not a contest - there are no winners and no prizes - it's purely a creative challenge. Last year more than 2,400 artists from all seven continents participated and over 880 albums were created!

Go to www.rpmchallenge.com to find out more.

C'mon and take the challenge - what have you got to lose?"

I know I've said this a lot...but seriously, if you've EVER wanted to record music but felt like you didn't have the time/weren't good enough/couldn't write lyrics/couldn't write good guitar lines/were too stupid/weren't cool enough/WHATEVER, you seriously need to take a look at this thing.

It will make you a better player, musician, songwriter, and human being. And it's fun as hell.

Let me know if you join...we should collaborate.

PAZ.
