Once described by an Austin show-goer as "Camper Van Beethoven, Daniel Johnston, and Neil Young drunkenly driving around a circus stage in the little clown-car" whatever that means. 25 made.

Viking Moses - Lands of the Pink

2006 · PIAPTK · 004

PIAPTK Limited Edition Suscription Club Vol. 1 - You might have seen Brendon Massei (aka The VIking Moses) anywhere on the planet sometime in the last 6 years. The man hasn't had a permanant residence in that long, and is constantly on the road, bringing his folky weirdness to every basement, VFW Hall, club, bar, and park that will have him. He's played in Devendra Banharts touring band, and toured/opened for a laundry list of indie greats. I asked Brendon if he had a couple of songs that he would contribute to the club and he said "No, I don't have any loose songs, but I have an ALBUM you can have!". I was initially reluctant to do a full 12" for a single artist (as this hadn't been my original plan), but after hearing the first 20 seconds of these 6 epic songs (which total 38 minutes) I was ecstatic to make it the first record of the series. The covers were hand painted and silkscreened and it includes a two-sided screenprinted cardboard lyric insert. On clear vinyl, of course.

Songs: Western Role, Keep Still From Traveling, PArting Halves, Precious Things, Departure Bid, Winter In New England

Poster Children - Lost Songs

2006 · PIAPTK · 005

PIAPTK Limited Edition Suscription Club Vol. 2 - The Poster Children have LONG been one of my favorite rock bands. They were always on the cutting edge of punk rock and technology. They were keeping tour blogs before most people even had internet access, and were one of the first bands I'd ever heard of to have Enhanced CDs (content created by bass player, Rose). It's been pretty quiet on the Poster Children front for the last couple of years, but as the PC approach their 20th anniversary, Rick was kind enough to dig through the vault and give me these four incredible studio outtakes from 1996. Why they were never released (in any form) is beyond me, but I am ridiculously excited to bring them to the subscribers. On clear triangular vinyl, in heavy duty picture disc sleeves with hand cut stickers.

Songs: Remember Your Name, Everything Must Go, New World Record, Bulletproof

Wooden Wand/Clay Ruby - Velvet Underground Covers Hexagonal 8"

2006 · PIAPTK · 006

Songs: Wooden Wand: Run, Run, Run / Clay Ruby: Black Angels Death Song

Jad Fair & Daisy Cooper - Square 8"

2006 · PIAPTK · 007

PIAPTK Limited Edition Subscription Club Vol. 4 - Jad Fair was touring Europe in the early 2000's with German Band Daisy Cooper. After the tour, they went into the studio to record these three covers. This is an extremely weird record, mostly because it is a Jad Fair record, and isnt weird at all. It has solid musicianship, singing, production value, etc... all things that Jad isn't really known for.

Songs: Blue Moon, Sunday Morning (Velvet Underground), and an Ernest Noyes Brookings poem set to music.

Will Johnson - Blackest Sparrow/Darkest Night

2007 · PIAPTK · 008

PIAPTK Limited Edition Suscription Club Vol. 5 - Centro-Matic has been my favorite Texas band since I moved to Denton, TX for college in 1997. The first Centro-Matic album, Redo the Stacks, which was played completely by Will had just hit the racks, and on my first day there, the record store clerk across from campus INSISTED that I buy it. And I am eternally grateful! This is 2-song single on Square, Clear 8" Lathe-Cut records in hand-stamped burlap bags.

Songs: Blackest Sparrow/Darkest Night, From This I Will Awake

Casper and the Cookies / Keith John Adams - Split 8"

2007 · PIAPTK · 014

Early one Sunday morning, Keith John Adams and Casper and the Cookies recorded a couple songs in my home studio in exchange for a place to sleep and some veggie pasta.

Casiotone For the Painfully Alone - STSNC Instrumentals 7"

2008 · PIAPTK · 025

Owen Ashworth (CFTPA) was recently commissioned to do the music for an indie film called Stay The Same Never Change. He wrote all the music, including the ringtones for the character's phones. Owen asked PIAPTK to release a very limited 7" with some selections of this score. We were very happy to ablige. However, there are a few other weirdo colors that will be slipped in here and there. These are almost gone, so order soon. They are on "random" colored vinyl, which includes dark grey marble, red marble, green marble, purple vinyl, etc. Due to the number of colors and the small number that are left, the is no real way to request a color, though. If you order more than one, you will receive different colors if we have them.

Songs: Twinkle Echo (reverse), Nashville Parthenon (Instr), STSNC, Twinkle Echo (redux), I Like Common, Possible Love Interest (ringtone), Bad People (ringtone), OMG (ringtone), Probably Walking Down the Street (ringtone), Ice Cream Truck (Instr).

Arrington DiDionysio - Rasa Sentuh

2009 · PIAPTK · 43

A picnic plate lathe cut of a song from the upcoming Malikat Dan Singa Record cut specifically to be sold at What The Heck Fest 2009. The lathe treatment adds a lot of strange and wonderful distortions and audio artifacts that caused it to sound "like radio transmissions from outer space" according to Arrington. There were 30 made with hand-painted covers and were only for sale at What The Heck Fest.

This is a true rarity. I let Arrington borrow my record lathe while I was out of town, and he recorded 40 records (onto picnic plates) straight into the lathe, all completely different. He also made unique water color paintings on all the covers. Each record has a cd that has a sampling of some of the recordings. Your recording may/may not be on the cd. Arrington took most of them on tour, but I have TEN copies for sale
