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: Quick stop, short of time But now he's trapped in the checkout line It's hard to keep turning the other One in front ignores cashier Cell phone stuck to her ear It's hard to keep turning the other Hard to keep turning the other Hard to keep turning the other Chorus 1: Cheek . . . she's unaware She couldn't care for his needs as he broods “You're not alone! Think of me! Show some courtesy It's hard to keep turning the other cheek” Verse 2: Dogs barking night and day Loud, late parties keep him awake It's hard to keep turning the other Appointments never show Left lane drivers way too slow It's hard to keep turning the other Chorus 2: Cheek . . . they're unaware They couldn't care for his needs as he shouts “You're not alone! Think of me! Show some courtesy It's hard to keep turning the other cheek” Bridge: He's sick of getting stepped on everyday Letting the rude have their selfish way Biting his tongue to avoid an unpleasant scene Verse 3: Pushed too far, had enough Now nine lie in pools of blood It's hard to keep turning the other SWAT team 'bout to break inside One bullet left . . . To clear his mind It's hard to keep turning the other Hard to keep turning the other Hard to keep turning the other Chorus 3: Cheek . . . they weren't aware They couldn't care 'bout his pain` as he cries “I'm not a brick! I hurt and bleed! Show some courtesy It's hard to keep turning the other Hard to keep turning the other Hard to keep turning the other . . .” Copyright 2009 A. Karpinski, BMI, all rights reserved.
