In 2006, Beatnik Turtle was not only working on The Song Of The Day, Randy and Jason were also working on the Indie Band Survival Guide., which got some tremendous press from Billboard Magazine, Reuters, the Associated Press, and the blogosphere.

During the time of writing it, all Tom Roper heard, week after week, was "it's almost nearly done!" since Randy and Jason kept writing, editing, researching, re-writing, re-editing and re-researching it. All this instead of recording music which was all Tom was hoping to do. So, he wrote a song about it.
