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.

Story behind the song
Just noticed all the phoneyness and hypocracy of many "cool" people. You can download this song from Apple iTunes.
Lyrics
Hey, over there, see that Preening little rooster, he thinks he's, oh, so cool If clothes do make a man, well, they make this guy a fool Cool is for posers, cool is for posers Got himself some money, got such perfect hair Fixated on an image, inside he's vaporware Cruising in his Beemer, lays smoke in every gear Cell phone is a permanent attachment to his ear Cool is for posers, cool is for posers Addicted to attention, got to get his fix Just put him in the spotlight and he oozes super slick Sizing up the blonds, hustling the reds Thinks he's Richard Gere, a stallion when in bed Cool is for posers, cool is for posers Trying to charm the babes with his over rehearsed lines When he does get lucky, it's proof that love is blind I'm laughing at you're back, I'm laughing in your face Such a silly, silly boy, I'd love to put you in your place Cool is for posers, cool is for posers You got everything you want, got everything you need Except for common sense or any hint of dignity Now he's really peaked, he's singing in a band How'd these dweebs get suckered into thinking that he can Cool is for posers, cool is for posers Prancing `cross the stage, making all the right moves Expressions so intense, Mr. Super Smooth Shuffles to the left, sways to the right He steps up to the microphone and DIES!!
