Beatnik Turtle's Song of the Day

You messed our server up!

Feeling out of place...like a fish out of water or a June Bug in July

Here's another great song by Holmes. Features Tom Roper on the 12-string.

Jason writes a lot of songs. This one is from his back catalog. Many of the tracks on this one date back to 1999, but thanks to technology we were able to add drums, re-do vocals, and replace some hummed melody lines intended for saxophones with real saxophones.

How are you doing? Do you need anything? You look great today! Have you lost weight? Are you working out? Is there anything you need me to do? Sure, I'll take care of this project! I love working here!

The tale of the "Drunk Man's Junk" is based on actual events and goes back to Dragon*Con 2008 when it was told to us at a party by Dave Slusher, one of the world's first podcasters and the mastermind behind The Evil Genius Chronicles Podcast. Apparently an individual in a kilt drank one too many beverages and passed out in a public spot displaying his, er...um..."junk" until a fellow party-goer took the initiative to, uh..."fix" the problem.

Dave wondered if he wrote the lyrics, could we write the music? We of course agreed and so Dave penned the lyrics to the tune and handed it off to us to record as soon as we had the time. We recently grabbed our guitars, cranked our amps, and did a few lyrical touch-ups (adding the moral of the story). So, here it is, one year later, our collaboration in "all its glory." Enjoy!*

*Remember to drink responsibly (that is, don't wear a kilt and decide to go commando when you decide to party all day, okay?)

Daaaaave. Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Take heed and let this be a warning. We are not in control! 01010011011010010110110001101100011110010010000001101000011

This version of What We've Got was recorded during an afternoon rehearsal and sound check before the show that we recorded for our live album. The original version appears on Beatnik Turtle's first album.

What we wish we had the guts to say to our boss sometimes.
