A further march down the road in acl's evolution - and one of the many directions we've been dying to get to... it's, ummm, water-y. (And this song is especially dedicated to J Wentz.)
Just stopped by to return the appreciation, but i LOVE this tune!! The sarcastic comments... haven't enjoyed something like that in a while. Just a thought, ever think about swapping the effect of the melody singer and the talking voice? I think it could be an interesting mix. But i am known to be wrong... alot...
were you guys tap dancing in the studio or what? It's so tightly woven into the continuous bass and rhythm tracks. And then it follows with all the layered strings... yeah, this one for sure. ;)
"Pizza: The Rock Opera" is Beatnik Turtle's 10-minute opus chronicling one man's struggle to order pizza. From TheSongOfTheDay.com and their album, November available on CD Baby, "the iTunes" and other fine digital retailers.
"Tell Me Ma", was featured on National Public Radio's Second Stage. As NPR put it: "Beatnik Turtle is a remarkably prolific and fiercely independent rock group based in Chicago. The eight-piece band includes a full horn section and has been making…
The single coil sound of my new used PRS guitar just got me in the funk. Had this partial riff on a Sony walkman from 10 years ago, decided to fill it out a little.

Thanks for stopping by to listen. I'll post the lyrics as soon as I find them.

Pretty whores and fat queers

and I wouldn't…
Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…
time you hands hang at your side
you have no hold on me
you try in vain to put me in your box
but you can't put a lid on me
your chimes become a sparrows songs
your tic tic toc, the beating of my heart
run on, run on without me
run on...
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
I ended up using Dynoman's Feel Easy so much it turned the other way round, so I guess it's a remix? Never done those before.
A great original song, you can find it and other Dynoman works here: http://soundcloud.com/dynoman

Hypnotic.
This is an absolute classic. C-l-a-s-s-i-c.
I absolutely love this, especially the wonderful interlude of clapping and tapping. 12 minutes is nothing, it speeds by too quickly!
