Fifty. Ninety.

I have been gathering song fragments.

These are the dregs, the pieces, the never-and-still-not-good-enough stuff. This is what I will work on for 50/90, lowering the quality bar, and then perhaps removing it altogether.

The good (?) news is that there's plenty of this material, more than enough to sustain 50+ songs.

Since the songs will be crap, I will set other challenges for myself to make this edifying. Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head:

To finally play the bass sitting forlornly in the corner

To pull out the harmonicas and the ebow that I've never used

To record a track live

This is all prelude to approaching the stuff I really want and need to work on, what may turn out to be the next album. There's so much going on.

Most of it is good.
