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: Gimme, gimme more Gimme, gimme waste Gimme showy evidence of my superior taste Greed has no limits, never enough No such thing as too much stuff Pouring out pollution Burning up the earth I don't care as long as I keep adding to my worth Self denial is the real sin For he who dies with the most toys wins Verse 1: Isn't it a Pyrrhic victory When trinkets and toys and spacious homes are flooded by rising seas Real self denial is refusing to believe That nothing lasts forever There's costs we cannot see As our cancers eat us up and poison progeny. Bull! Repeat chorus Verse 2: Your granddaughter's dying of thirst No clean water, soil used up, your memory is cursed You took it all, left nothing for her Except mountains of trash, toxic skies Promises of endless bounty were lies All she inherits is the cost of cleaning up and building this world anew Because of you! So? Last chorus : Gimme, gimme more Gimme, gimme waste Gimme showy evidence of my superior taste Greed has no limits, never enough No such thing as too much stuff Pouring out pollution Burning up the earth I don't care as long as I keep adding to my worth Self denial is the real sin For he who dies with the most toys Yes, he who dies with the most toys He who dies with the most toys Is still just plain old . . . dead Copyright 2009 A.
