The Taped Rugs Productions family has a long tradition of hosting improvisational recording sessions on July 4th of each year. In 1997, Turkey Makes Me Sleepy incorporated an outer space theme into its July 4th session, based on that day's landing of the rover: "Pathfinder" on Mars. Occasional inputs from the live CNN coverage of the Pathfinder landing, random audio excerpts from science fiction story records, readings from Ray Bradbury's "Martian Chronicles," and a Dadaesque rendition of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" lead the jammers into an uncharted area. Contained in these audio files is the experience as it happened: an unrehearsed excursion into the cosmos. Best of all -- it rocks!

In 1998, these recordings were released on the cassette album: "Rocks On Mars" by Taped Rugs Productions. "Rocks On Mars" was re-released on CDR by Taped Rugs in 2004. Several instruments and non instruments were employed in the creation of these improvised recordings. All of the recordings were produced live (no overdubs) at the Taped Rugs studio in Lawrence, Kansas, USA.
