Quite the tongue-twister, Jason's STILL trying to catch his breath after recording this re-worked traditional Irish folk song

"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…

Mick McGuire was "all that" when he was dating the family's older daughter (who was 40). As soon as he married her and spent all the money, poor Mick was subjected to his Mother-In-Law. Mother-in-Laws have gotten a bad wrap for hundreds of years.

Another Irish classic. This song tells the story of a group of pub regulars who, upon learning that the pub is on fire, head to the cellar to drink all the booze. You know, cuz it's free that way. What's a few burns?

This was the song that launched the entire SHAM ROCK album. This is what happens when you turn up the tempo, crank the volume, and add a horn section.
As with most of these songs, we came up with our own music to add to these songs. So, the…

Have you ever heard a traditional Irish folk song re-worked as a ska song? No? How about with an additional Spanish horn riff? Well, now you have! This song tells the story of an unfortunate guy who hooks up with a girl in the kitchen of her boss…

Beatnik Turtle's take on another ol' Irish classic.

We couldn't resist breaking out the traditional Irish instruments halfway through this one and going all Celtic on your arse.

This old song had a lot of braggin' in it. So, we couldn't resist giving it a bit of the old skool hip-hop flavor.

This song's extremely popular and so has been done to death. We decided if we were going to re-make this one, we had to try something new. So, we hit on the 7/4 time signature, the melodica (thought it was bagpipes, didja?), and arrangement. By…

Another ol' Irish song about drinkin' and smokin'. Who knew?

Contrary to public opinion, the term "The Holy Ground" doesn't refer to the Emerald Isle. Nope. It's the name of a whore house that Irish sailors would visit. The Irish have quite a sense of humor...!

I Believe by far my most beautiful instrumental track, much the
opposite of You Forgot Bush's War Crimes. Maybe because I haven't commited any?
I'm growing to accept that most of the time, my instrumentals should be short and
sweet.

I've never heard "Horse with No Name" all the way through, and i wasn't trying to
rip it off, but i really like the melody i wrote for this and it turned out to fit
perfectly with the sound of the bass. Really proud of my composing on this track…

This was supposed to be my "folky" track, but I love the way this turned out.
It was originally written Napalm Shoot up but My Chair took it's place on that

Not much to say about this but that it's one of the first songs I actually
wrote down every note for. I think that makes it a small cut above most of my
instrumental songs.
Uploaded
Inspired partly by a co-worker who was a great, now lost musician. This track is
somewhat about my five year stint in Gallup, New Mexico (Bob Dylan anyone?). This
was written as a poem before I started writing Slumber Love.

I'm not usually good at mixing two of my songs together, but i think this turned
out great. Maybe a little too Velvet Underground. Maybe nothing is ever too
Velvet Underground... Written just for Abide.

Supposed to be the biggest joke on this album, Candle turned more into an actual
like-able song. I was trying to make fun of Sonic Youth stuff, but it ended up
growing and becoming an instant Mud Octave classic track. The Lyrics were written…

This is one of the songs I wrote for Filthy Time that's been hiding
in the back of a notebook waiting for music to be chugged out. I'm
really glad I let this seep for a while before letting loose.

This song is one of the few i wrote just for Abide. I've been listening almost
non-stop to Dylan's latest release and this is what I got out of it. I mean no
disrespect to Bob, just trying to sing my songs.

Sorry - I forgot to take my medication when I came up with this one.
It began as an exercise in strange sound effects, and developed into this exploration of headphone space.
