Twittersongs

Lyrics:

Oh no!
My battery's getting low
Oh no!
My battery's getting low

Why don't they make long lasting batteries?
Cuz that's what the world really needs
Long lasting batteries

Why don't they make long lasting batteries?
Cuz that's what the world really needs
Long lasting batteries
Long lasting batteries
Long lasting batteries

Song Notes:

Based on our most recent TwitterSong, this week's song, Long Lasting Battereez was based on a Twitter post from Heather Welliver who posted "Oh noes my battery is getting low!" a few weeks ago. We couldn't resist making a song about this!

Sham Rock Nominated for JPF Award

Beantik Turtle’s album, Sham Rock (A compilation of rocked-out irish drinking songs made for RPM) was nominated for the Just Plain Folks (JPF) Music Awards in the Celtic category. This is a peer-reviewed award. And we were one of over 42,000 albums submitted. Less than 1/3 of 1% get nominated: that’s some kind of crazy [...]

We Did It - Album Done

One thing about making an album in a month is you end up crashing hard the day it’s over. That was today. And now my sleep cycle is completely off. But, we did it. The new album is entitled “When I Was Your Age” as it’s a look back at ourselves when we were kids. [...]

Now the final mixing starts! This is my first stab at a real mix of “I Like The Way She Cleans Erasers.” It’s labeled “Mix 0.5″ which pretty much means I don’t consider it to be final. When you start to see mix numbers like 1.0, that means I consider them final - even though [...]

Songs Under Construction ‘Kast - Episode #30

Now the early mixes begin! After adding bass to “Going To School” I pushed some faders around to get a bit of balance. This still isn’t a real mix but at least guitars and stuff won’t pop out real loud out of nowhere. This is where you can start to hear the final song emerge [...]

We added guitars and bass to the song we’re collaborating with George Hrab on - “When I Was Your Age.” As before, this isn’t a real mix yet - loud vocals, guitars or other stuff might pop out at any moment so be careful with your volume control! Join us on this album by joining our Facebook [...]

We added bass and LOTS of guitars to “The Six Year Old Reporter.” Listen for the classic Frampton/Bon Jovi/Aerosmith “talkbox” effect. And I couldn’t help but throw in a “Van Halen” harmonic trill just for fun. As before, this isn’t a real mix yet - loud vocals, guitars or other stuff might pop out at any [...]

Here’s the next iteration of “Hey Joe (Joe Bully).” This is another that we added guitars to during those 26 hours of guitar sessions. And then we added bass! As before, this isn’t a real mix yet - and still beware of the loud guitars that show up at any moment! Of course the guitars SHOULD [...]

We’d like you on our album!

Hey - we’d like you on our album. As you may know, our band is in the middle of recording a new album and we’d love for all of you to be a part of it. Consider this the invitation. All we’re asking is if you’d record something (dialog, hand claps, singing) and email it to [...]

Here’s the guide track to “Bed Wetter”. Now, keep in mind this song was written the day after we figured out we weren’t writing an album for kid’s per se, but an album about us — the band — as kids. (And, yes, this is based on a true story by a band member who [...]

Here’s the guide track we created for “Are We There Yet?” We’re still working on the lyrics but the structure is now locked down. Also, we have a melody line for the chorus, but weren’t able to add it to this version. You can hear the original demo here in SUCKast Episode #2. Join us [...]

We love working with other musicians and with this album we were lucky enough to get the chance to work with the great George Hrab (indie musician, podcaster, writer, and all around uber-talent). We’ve been meaning to work together since interviewing him for our book, The Indie Band Survival Guide and DIY Music Manual. And [...]

Here’s where we took the song “My Cereal”. The original guide track is in Episode #10 This one is now way more than a guide track. It’s well on it’s way toward getting done.

This song is about having a crush on your teacher. This song, “I Like The Way She Cleans Erasers”, is the song Tom, John, and I wrote Friday night that led to the big discussion about whether we were creating an album for kids or an album about us as kids. We collectively came to [...]

Dilemma: Kid’s Album or Songs About Being A Kid?

Ah…we uncovered a dilemma! We always said we’re going to write a kid’s album. However, in working on songs last night, we realized the songs we’ve created fall into two distinct camps: - An album for kids - An album about being a kid There is a difference! If we went the “album for kids” route we’d develop many of [...]

“Tap Your Feet” is another guide track we created for the band to build on. This one is a pseudo-gypsy swing jazz type of thing. We REALLY REALLY want to have the sound of a tap dancer in the middle section. If any of you tap dance - let us know! Throw us more ideas at [...]
