We couldn't resist breaking out the traditional Irish instruments halfway through this one.

How many times have we all uttered that statement the "morning after?" This song from our new album Sham Rock explores the regrets from the night before and blames it all on "the drink."

About eight weeks before this, our friend Mur Lafferty wrote in and asked if we could write a song about Joe's super spy alter ego, Mason Rocket. We did and since we recorded it during February, it became part of our Record Production Month album, All In A Day's Work Joe Murphy was a podcaster, a writer, and a dear friend to many people. There's a memorial fund that Joe's friends created on his behalf. Donations are appreciated.

Well, now you have! This week's song tells the story of an unfortunate guy who meets his loved one in her kitchen but when they are discovered by the Captain of the house, she accuses him of burglary! This is another track recorded as part of our RPM Challenge 2008 album, Sham Rock.

Recorded as part of our RPM Challenge 2008 album, Sham Rock, this is another traditional Irish song done in the Beatnik Turtle style.
