This is what results when you take one rock band and add some gospel singers, sitar, a didjeridoo, and a Buddhist prayer rattle.

Nouveau retro pop rock music: Definitely rock, fairly pop, somewhat retro, and a bit more experimental. http://www.stonemarmot.com
Our music is the result of not watching TV for over 40 straight years. That's right! The person who writes all our songs hasn't had a working television in his house since January, 1982. Scary, isn't it! That could explain the somewhat retro, rather experimental feel to the music, which has been described as sounding somewhere between Buddy Holly, The Ramones, The B-52s, and They Might Be Giants. This CD is an object lesson in how warped and depraved a television-starved mind can get. And that's not all! To make matters worse, since no self-respecting human would stoop low enough to play this stuff, he suckered four poor, innocent cartoon characters into recording his music. Cartoon characters have it tough enough as it is, with people laughing at them all the time, without having to be subjected to this! His poor, unfortunate victims, who refer to themselves collectively as Stone Marmot, are: Cindy: Guitars Sid: Keyboards, guitars, lead and backup vocals Sammy: Bass, lead and backup vocals Bruce: Percussion, backup vocals This quartet played their little paper hearts out as the ignoble fiend who created them and their music practically produced and engineered them to death. Therefore, for the sake of the cartoons, we hope you give their music a good listen and try to appreciate their tireless and selfless efforts. Please! Don't let this happen to you or someone you love! Be sure you and your loved ones receive a healthy minimum dose of television each and every day.

Lyrics
Verse 1: I . . . wrote a catchy, happy, silly song The kind where people want to sing along But I got slapped For writing sap Scolded for my lack of empathy For the suffering of humanity How dare I sing of joy! Laughter, games, and toys! With all the misery in this world Verse 2: You . . . expose to us every wound you ever had Oozing pus-y slights through angry scabs So unjust No one you trust Every word you sing drips with pain As you try to make us feel the same Our faces rubbed in dirt We absorb your hurt As you share your misery in this world Bridge: Was I wrong to try to lift these burdens off your back? I want to give you smiles, simple pleasures that you lack But you won't let go of a past you cannot change Instead of seeking sun, you choose to linger in the rain Ah - ah Ah - ah Verse 3: We . . . shouldn't be ashamed to let our faces shine Take a break for some playful time Without a care Long laughs we'd share There is more to life than misery With a little luck, we may see Our pockets of happiness Expand and coalesce To smother all the misery in this world Copyright 2006 A.
