Beatnik Turtle's Song of the Day

Today's date is 7-7-07 and so it's only fitting to have Holmes! take the reigns of TheSongOfTheDay and sing his "Lucky 7." It's also fitting in that our friend and fellow song-writer Matt Scholtka gets married today. We'll be hoisting 7 vodka tonics to the lucky couple! We wish them all the best!

Here's one of the oldest ones from Jason's archives. It dates back to our high school years when songs about obese, security guards sitting in tiny, smelly offices seemed the thing to do. Obviously, we've since come along way now that we write songs about

I.T. workers, priests,and dudes with ponytails.

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

Sometimes it would be nice if the world were just a little quieter.

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.

We buy glasses. We lose glasses. We write songs like this. Check out the rockin', full-band version on our live album!

Sinatra's mantra from Strangers In The Night as realized at 3:30 in the morning.

Obviously, we believe at in sharing music here at TheSongOfTheDay. When going through our archives, we found this song dating back to 1998. It's notable - to us at least - for being the first song we were able to share via the internet. We had just gotten our site www.beatnikturtle.com up and running (it was a page) and we posted this song to download as a WAV since mp3s weren't as prevalant then. Of course, broadband didn't really exist to the extent it does now either and it took forever for anyone to download!

It's summer and there's yard sales. This is just but one story.
