Beatnik Turtle's Song of the Day

This is a paired song, as we have a Mrs. Right Now that will be played on another day!

We recently created this theme for the weekly podcast, PodCulture. Each week Brad, Glenn, and Christina share what's going on in their "geek worlds" and discuss movies, TV, comics, sci-fi, and well...all things geek. We're fans of the show and you can check them out with us at www.PodCulture.net.

For parents and kids alike, when it comes to the family vacation, this seems to be the eternal question!

Featuring the great Qadree Holmes on vocals, this song goes out to all Notary Publics everywhere.

This song came about when Jason was asked to notarize a few immigration documents for two recently married friends of his - one of whom was applying for U.S. citizenship. When they asked Jason whether he could notarize their signatures "to prove it wasn't a sham marriage," he informed them they were in luck - he wasn't only a Notary, he was the "Love Notary."

They laughed a bit at his comment until they realized Jason was serious about the concept making "a great song for The Song Of The Day" and found themselves stranded in his office with unnotarized papers in hand.

Why are there so few honest love songs?

One of Tom's long standing technology rules has been: "Be careful what you put into a computer because you never know where it will come out." Many bloggers get themselves into trouble violating this rule....

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.

Things have been pretty busy at Beatnik Turtle headquarters the last few weeks getting ready for the release of The Indie Band Survival Guide written by our very own Jason and Randy! We have new Beatnik Turtle songs in the pipeline, but in order to get everything ready for the book's release we decided to present encores of some of the best of last year's songs.

Last year, we recently created this theme for Mur Lafferty's fantastic audio novel podcast, Playing For Keeps. You can hear it at the Playing For Keeps website!

Playing For Keeps is now a printed book from Swarm Press! It releases this week and is available at Amazon!

To his shame, about a month before this song was written in early 2006, Randy had no idea what the term Going Commando meant. The only way for him to repay his karmic debt was to write a song about it. Tom's inspired fingerpicking weaved it into a delicate threnody about freedom from wearing underwear.

A pyromaniacal tribute to the great Robert Wilhelm Bunsen and his lab assistant Peter Desaga for their invention.

The song Finnegan's Wake is believed to have been composed in the mid 1800s and served as the basis for the James Joyce novel of the same title. This week's song is our rendition of Finnegan's Wake which we recorded as part of our RPM Challenge 2008 album, Sham Rock.
