Beatnik Turtle is an indie rock band from Chicago formed in 1998. Beatnik Turtle plays alternative and pop-rock "with a sense of humor." Their sound is rooted in the song-based pop-rock sound of They Might Be Giants, Fountains of Wayne, The Saw Doctors, Barenaked Ladies, Cracker, Cake, and The Beatles. In 2007, Beatnik Turtle began (TheSongOfTheDay.com ) where they released an original, free-to-download song every day during 2007 as a podcast.〔Ross, Curtis (June 28, 2007). "Can't Stop The Music", ''The Tampa Tribune''.〕 This was accomplished in part through the involvement of numerous "guest" musicians and other creative individuals who contributed their efforts to the project. The band is continuing this format, in a modified form, throughout 2008 with (The Song of the Week. ) In 2006, Beatnik Turtle published an online guide for indie bands called the (Indie Band Survival Guide ), written by sax player Randy Chertkow. The guide shares the band's experiences running and being in an indie band.〔Martens, Todd (May 20, 2006). "The Indies", ''Billboard'' 118 (20): 14.〕〔Jasmin, Ernest A. (October 14, 2008).
