Beatnik Turtle's Song of the Day

This is the title track from our recently finished 2009 RPM Challenge effort where we created an album within the month of February.

We love working with other musicians and with this album we were lucky enough to get the chance to work with the great George Hrab (indie musician, podcaster, writer, and all around uber-talent). We+AJI-ve been meaning to work together since interviewing him for our book, The Indie Band Survival Guide and The DIY Music Manual. And this album seemed the perfect chance, so we called him up.

While describing the concept of the album to George on the phone, he commented on how there+AJI-s a ton of stuff kids have these days that we didn+AJI-t have growing up. And, +AJM-When I Was Your Age+AJQ- was born.

We liked this song so much we decided that the whole album's concept should be a look back at when we were kids.

He once was on our side, but he's a cop now.

Sometimes life corrects your faults and deficiencies on their own. And, after awhile, you find yourself becoming less unique and more and more...average.

Sometimes it's tough to shut off the brain, stop thinking, and just go to sleep.

"Can I interest you in a sandwich?" Jason's grandmother once answered this question by saying "I'm sick of sandwiches." When asked about her answer, she said "when you get to be 80 years old, you'll be sick of sandwiches, too."

This song is the lunch break song from our forthcoming album, ALL IN A DAY'S WORK. (The pre-release of the album is already available at the iTunes, but the CD's not due until October...probably because the CD duplicators are arguing over what to have for lunch).

Even vegetarians like bacon and eggs.

Our customer service anthem! An ode to retail workers!

This song is from our forthcoming album, ALL IN A DAY'S WORK. (The pre-release of the album is already available at iTunes, and the CD's will be available in September.

It's a tribute to the greatest show on television!

Most of Beatnik Turtle has some form of ADD and - HEY, look, a monkey!

Another song from our successful attempt to complete an entire album of songs within February of 2007 for Record Production Month (www.rpmchallenge.com). Holmes! pulled out the Devo card to Matt's lyrics and we were only more than happy to oblige.

The pre-release of this album, entitled "All In A Day's Work", is currently available at iTunes.
