Kids Meal by Turtle Money Sandwich

What's this EP mean to me? What might it mean to you?

I don't want to say too much. It's just an EP. For kids? I guess it's for anybody who's _been_ a kid...

Seems there's a lot I could say. But I don't want to go on and on. Let's see...

Brian's written and sung five sweet, celebratory songs here for all of us to enjoy, and he's given me the freedom to do whatever I'd like. So hitching my wagon to that happy star, we produced the songs with no two having even remotely similar styles. There are no notes I'd want to take back. There are no projects I'd rather have worked on. Something about the whole thing invites Life's best aspects to manifest.

Here's an example.

Brian writes and sings a song about a kid's first steps. Seems to me like it wants to be an '80's New Wave arrangement.

Ah yes. I remember going down to Madam Wong's in 1978 and feeling like I discovered something mind-blowing and new in the form of the powerful 3-piece band, The Know, featuring former Blondie bassist Gary Valentine and former Motels bassist Richard D'Andrea. The sound of that Stingray bass was like nothing I'd ever heard. A few trips down there, and I realized I didn't want to be in a gold-lame Elton John cover band, I wanted to be in a three-piece originals band playing clubs in Hollywood. And that happened and was one of the most exciting, fun, and gratifying chapters of my journey.

Thinking back on those days, in a reverent and nostalgic mood I start banging around on the internet, looking for vestiges of The Know, and finding that, yes, both Gary Valentine and Richard are around...Richard is still kicking out tough jams under the name Raw Terra, and I was able to touch base with him and reminisce about old times.

So, long story short, yeah, that's Raw Terra of The Know and The Motels, kicking butt on The Kid Can Walk...on the same bass, the first Stingray I ever heard, the one that changed my musical life.

The whole EP is like that. Magic happens where you let it happen. Where you get out of its way. Watch for it and be grateful, and with that formula you'll see it more and more. And before long you won't call it "magic" anymore because it's not magic. It's every darn thing.

And maybe that's what this EP means to me. Let us know what it means to you.

Internationally known as The Fat Man, George Alistair Sanger’s influence is hard to overestimate. Through his work, his writings, the founding of think-tanks, organizations and communities—but mainly his music—this “legendary game audio guru’s” fingerprints are all over much of what it means today to create game audio or listen to a game.
