Monk Turner’s Calendar album has been the subject of Audiosurfing twice before — first in June, and again in August. The good times continue here with the album’s October track, Halloween Night.

It’s the first week of August, so I thought I would begin the month with a selection from Monk Turner’s Calendar album, as I did in June. This song is all about the Roman emperor from whom this month derived its name, Augustus.

I thought I’d kick off June with the appropriately titled “June (I Hate This Month)” from Los Angeles-based artist Monk Turner’s Calendar album, where he’s written and recorded a song for every month of the year. As a self-described “Concept Artist,” Monk Turner makes all of his music freely available under Creative Commons via Archive.org’s Open Source Audio repository.
