The "Be Much Better" Flexi Disc Is Out Now!

After a nicely received early digital launch, me and my pals' new Flexi Disc 7", "Be Much Better (feat. Daryl Wilson, Ella Sugar and The Calgary Family Singers)", is out now!  By now you've likely heard how this song came together and all the buddies that helped it become what it is.  'Be Much Better' is a slice of ska that still has the punk and pop pep that you've come to know and adore (tolerate?!) from a tune that I wrote. The flexi disc is a clear square 7" with a double-sided cover insert and a download code is still included, just in case you missed the digital/donation release on my BANDCAMP.  You can order a copy of the flexi disc from the Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings WEB STORE.  100% of every purchase/donation (both flexi and digital) will be donated to Black Lives Matter 5280, Black Lives Matter Chicago and Black Trans Femmes In The Arts. You can also find this song on all the typical digital/streaming sites and the flexi disc is distributed by Recess Ops.  Colorado folks can grab it from any of the usual record shops that carry SLN audio recordings.  I tried to do a song that was fun and collaborative while being hopeful and real.  We all hope you enjoy the results and we thank you for your generosity!

 

My New Release "Be Much Better" Is Out Now Digitally & Flexi Discs Are Coming Soon!

Howdy out there internetters!  I have a new release called "Be Much Better", once again on Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings. A 7" Flexi Disc will be released on 12/11/20 and pre-orders for those are up in their WEB STORE. The Digital version is already available right now! Find it on my BANDCAMP page and all the other digital-streaming places you like to rock and/or roll to. This time out, I delivered a ska song with some extra vocal help from my buddies Daryl Wilson (The Bollweevils), Ella Sugar (my SPELLS bandmate) and The Calgary Family Singers (Jennifer is a longtime collaborator).  During the troubles of this past year, 'Be Much Better' is basically how I channeled some frustrations about world events into a short little song. I've always loved the unity message and energy of ska. 100% of every purchase/donation (both flexi and digital) will be donated to Black Lives Matter 5280, Black Lives Matter Chicago and Black Trans Femmes In The Arts.  Words cannot express me and my friends’ gratitude to all who listen, follow, share and help with our efforts.  Thanks so much!

"We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World) Original & Remix" Flexi Disc Is Out Now!

My tune 'We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World) [Original]' is the theme song to the podcast The Grawlix Saves The World.  My pal Heaty Beat was up for another collab and delivered 'We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World) [Remix] which is just that, a remix of the original song as performed and recorded by the sensational Ohio rapper.  As you might recall, Heaty Beat previously remixed my tune 'Quit Wastin' My Time', the theme song to the truTV show Those Who Can't.  We decided to put the Original

and Remix versions of 'We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World)'on a translucent green square 7" flexi disc with a double-sided cover insert and download code.  Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings released it and now here we are!  This is the only format that these two songs come together on.  Charlie's Original & Edit were digitally released a few months back and Heaty Beat's Remix makes it's debut on the flexi disc and is a separate digital single.  Also, 20% of every purchase/donation (both flexi and digital) of any and all versions of 'We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World)' will be donated to Black Lives Matter.  Grab a flexi disc in the Snappy Little Numbers WEB STORE or hit the Snappy Little Numbers BANDCAMP and heck, even my BANDCAMP to find digital versions.  The tunes are also on all the other digi-streamy spots.  Thanks for listening and thanks for helping raise some funds!

Charlie Continental’s Community Tune Garden (Version 1.0)!

It’s project time friends!  At my friend Rob Burleson’s suggestion, I have a little song sharing experiment type thing going on.  The idea is simple.  I wrote a song and I’m sharing it with anyone that wants to make their own version.  Although I have melodies, lyrics, arrangement etc. for my own version, I’m just providing participants with a lone electric guitar recording as a guide for complete creative freedom.  Do it solo, do it with a band, make it rock, make it dancey, change the key, add a part, make it loud, make it quiet… do what ya want!  This is open to all interested parties on planet earth!  Just email me at  snappylittlenumbers@gmail.com (or charliecontinentalmusic@gmail.com) expressing your interest in Charlie Continental’s Community Tune Garden and I’ll send you more info plus what you need to get started... Thaaanks!

"We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World)" Digi-Single Out Now!

Hello interested readers, I've whipped up another jingle!  The Grawlix Saves the World is a hilarious new podcast and The Grawlix gang (Adam Cayton-Holland, Andrew Orvedahl and Ben Roy) asked me to write them a theme song, which I of course did.  It's called "We're Getting Fixed (The Grawlix Save The World)" and there are 2 versions, a full and an edit.  You can hear both and send a tip (if ya wanna, don't gotta!) on my bandcamp page HERE.  Yeah we know, The Grawlix say "saves" but I say "save".  I worked with what I knew at the time and now we have a fun fact!  Keen listeners might remember I penned the theme song for The Grawlix crew's television show "Those Who Can't" that aired for 3 fantastic seasons. I'll figure out some sort of physical release for this latest tune through Snappy Little Numbers Quality Audio Recordings and the digital version will hit all the other digi-streaming spots later this month.  The Grawlix Saves The World podcast launched on 1/14/20, so set your pod-dial right now.  Thanks for listening!
