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
Chorus: We need to free the DJ trapped in Y2k We need to free the DJ trapped in Y2k Verse 1: Twenty-oh-two, I am sick Same old lyric, same old lick So I learn to drive and jog With my tuner turned to off Five years later, turn it on Still I hear the same old song Rip Van Winkle apropos With regards to radio (Repeat chorus) Verse 2: I don't know what is new Radio gives no clue Has my rock up and died Or is this corporate suicide? When I search for fresh tunes All I hear is talk and news Is this just my home town Or is this how the nation sounds? (Repeat chorus) Bridge: Golden moldies don't sell CDs (four times) (Repeat chorus) Verse 3: Hey Clearchannel, can you hear Silence under my rear view mirror? Advertising dollars lost Like the smoke in my exhaust As I'm forced to hunt and sweat All across the Internet For the choice and nouveau Since it's not on radio!
