I just heard the Ramen #3 version of this and it totally blew me away!
Furthermore, I sickenly realized that I have posted a piece by the same name, a long time after you posted this one. I apologize for this and have changed the name of my posting (but a similar story to yours... first recording in a new house!!)
Strong work team. I'm a big fan!
Thanks for your kind words, Kavin: and this album is STILL in the works; it's just been one hell of a year, and now it has to wait for RPM to finish... sheesh... k&w
this is really cool! As a beginning music-maker I am really impressed by how you kept that bass line groove fresh and interesting for the full 12 minutes. It was really great all the way through! The clapping, snapping, stomping rhythm breakdown at around 3 or 4 minutes was really cool, too :)
"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.
This song comes from comparing my behavior to that of my children. And I have found out that history does indeed repeat itself.
Thanks for stopping by to listen. I'll post the lyrics as soon as I find them.
ER
Pretty whores and fat queers
make bicycle parts in a factory
not far from here, and it
doesn't make a difference
if its weird or if its strange
just superficial words
from a long gone age
and I couldn't hold a candle to them
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
Garn/Landry (And I barely deserve any credit for this one at all)
A while back, Jim recorded a rough version of this song, and upon listening to it, I was thrown back to a day from my youth. While vacationing in Vermont, a small twister throwing…
