PRETTY BOY THORSON AND THE FALLING ANGELS "Aint It Funny" LP $8.00
Gave up on self-described rockabilly awhile ago. Couldn’t hang out with the gangs of Fonzs. Heeeeyyy! But if you like the idea of a little backbeat, a little acoustic guitar wrestled around, a melody you can snap your finger to without being surrounded by hair grease, you’ll be liking this. From Minneapolis. If fashion had never met up with the genre at the beginning… it would blaze.
TOO MANY DAVES 2008: A Shit Faced Odyssey 7" (Kiss OF Death) $5.00
Dumb comes in many moods and flavors. Too Many Daves is good-dumb. We have made the following reference chart which doesn’t mention any music, just movies you may have seen.
* TMD is “you-mean-I’m-going-to-stay-this-color?” dumb like in Steve Martin in The Jerk, not Father of the Bride Part II stupid-fucking-bourgeois-problems-dumb.
* TMD is good-drunk-nihilism-zen-dumb, like Chevy Chase in Caddy Shack, not what-the-fuck?-child-friendly-assholeishness Chevy Chase The Karate Dog dumb.
* TMD is Super Troopers cops-on-weed dumb, not Starship Troopers aliens-and-Scientology dumb.
* TMD is Meatballs hide-your-boner dumb, not Meatballs 4 Corey-Feldman-is-a-boner dumb.
TMD is fat dudes encouraging sweaty people to kiss each other. TMD tells time by their slices. TMD burns weed, not pizza. TMD is much better than they should be. They all have Dave somewhere in their names and there are five of them.

THE DUKES OF HILLSBOROUGH "Generation Tinnitus" LP/CD $8.00
Have you ever thought of making love to a statue of Abraham Lincoln? Sweet love, not violent, shot-out-the-back-of-your-head love? In public? The Dukes have, and as a result of that public exchange of affection—let’s not forget the foreplay of emancipation—is this Tampa stalwart’s finest work to date. You may be familiar with the “iron and burlap” attack of the Dukes, but are you ready for some squirts of honeyed melody in that gunny sack? Strap on your twelve-pack beer case Viking helmets, strap Hank Malloy safely in his kid seat, and get ready for a wide-open ride the in country. For fans of Avail… and the end of slavery. First Pressing - 500 (1 1/2 clear cobalt 1/2 cobalt marble, 9 clear cobalt, 10 sky blue, 26 purple, 29 perrywinkle, 48 gray marble, 59 brown marble, 143 clear blue, 178 blue mix)
Turkish Techno: Riverside, CA is a rough gig for anyone who’s not a knuckledragger or a meth-head. It’s almost impossible to not choke on all the chrome ball sacks hanging off the differentials of jacked-up pickups. House parties are systematically busted. Beer in bars such as Worthington’s is served warm. Turkish Techno closes the ranks and holds off the siege with a wall of sound, friend/gang vocals, supercharged everything, bordering on reckless. Listening to them is like fingering a cocked mouse trap in a room full of mouse traps. Every time I’ve seen these dudes live, one of them has been injured: broken legs and motorcycle pipe burns.
Anchor: Ever think—and no disrespect—that Hot Water Music just got too complicated near the end? That their tear-it-apart energy of the Circle Jerks was given a rest for something more shiny and complex? The Anchor rip the last couple of chapters of that book out, starting off at the point where the Angry Samoans could still be cited as a credible reference… and then they shoot their instruments into the sky. Stratospheric and fisticuffy.
First pressing - 500 ( 1 oil slick, 13 pacific ocean, 17 atlantic ocean, 18 boggy creek, 25 gulf of mexico, 79 tar pit, 348 black sea)
PRETTY BOY THORSON USED KIDS THE TIM VERSION NINJA GUN split 7" $3.50
Tim Version: I was just sitting here, two things on my mind. How ugly and beautiful music is that ends up in thrift stores. Those Grand Funk Railroad dudes weren’t much to look at on the gatefold bronze-embossed sleeve, but An American Band is quite a record. The second thing is that a contestant on American Idol’s ring tone on iTunes currently outsells Grand Funk’s entire catalog. Musically speaking, robots have taken over. Tim Version are the apes picking apart circuit boards.
Used Kids: Fuck work. Given a single task, Nato channels his inner Westerberg to precise detail and sweat soaks his sideburns in a way that’d make The Boss smile, assuming The Boss was aware of DIY punk. This song would fit on the Roadhouse soundtrack, played right when Patrick Swayze finds Sam Elliot stabbed. The note reads “ex-Modern Machines, Ergs!”
Pretty Boy Thorson: Idea for zombie movie: The corpses of Patsy Cline and Hank Williams Sr., aided by Merle Haggard and David Allan Coe, infiltrate the CMA’s. And, pretending to be the backup band, pounce on Rascal Flats and Toby Keith. Brains eaten. Entrails used as jump ropes. Modern country is given its warning. Pretty Boy Thorson’s piped in over the auditorium as delirium ensues. It’s a sad ditty. Tears splash into blood.
Ninja Gun: Mohawk guy: “Hey dude, that doesn’t sound punk at all… I like Blitz.”
Regular-looking guy in band: “Ever kill a pig for sustenance with your own hands? The squeal will haunt you.” A pretty song by down dudes who take the sparkly, slower parts of ‘70s rock who are dirty, DIY, and current.
First pressing - 500 (14 deep purple 24 navy 29 sky blue 40 violet 73 blue 83 black 86 gray 151 dark gray)
Dude Jams: Bearded guy in Dude Jams with little kittens on his short socks. “You want some of this? I’ll fuckin’ kill you.” Three gangsters in a lowered Lexus glower. The light turns green. They just stare. Dude Jams guy slaps his chest. The car slowly creeps through a red light. Dude Jams was pretty close to losing a member. Point? Not quite sure how Dude Jams avoid being a complete Crimpshrine mess; it’s almost like a Yoda / droid trick, except that the music’s just slapping you in your face with your own hands, like they shouldn’t be able to get away so easily with what they’re pulling off… but they do.
Too Many Daves: None of the following is true. 1.) This record was performed in blackface. 2.) It was recorded at an AA meeting. 3.) Like the new Misfits, there’s a strict dietary and exercise regimen to be a member. 4.) They write their set lists on sticks of butter. The following is true: going through life fat and stupid is, actually, a brilliant way to handle the almost unbearable weight of existence. Let the Daves’ music guide you to a better place, where no one actually knows much of anything except that partying’s tight and self-destruction can be a creative act.
First Pressing - 500 (70 bong cloud, 119 purple dragon, 301 unicorn horn)
Solid, metal-leaning punk from Lexington, Kentucky. Suspicions are that more than one member has a faded Metallica T-shirt in his closet and keeps it in rotation. We all understand that it’s a sliver of time, but remember back to the early days of grunge, before the tag became a smear? Remember that month or two? That earnest crunch, the loss of pretense, those sharply pointed songs that were jabbed directly at hair metal’s bloated and Spandex’d corpse? The Infected live their musical lives in that small window. Never self-indulgent, meandering, or dazzled by the lure of a solo, it’s straight-ahead music by straight-ahead dudes.
First pressing - 300 (4 blue marble, 4 bright yellow, 6 army green, 13 mustard, 15 chartreuse, 16 violet, 20 sea foam green, 23 sky, 32 purple, 167 blue)
THE TIM VERSION Prohibition Starts Tomorrow LP $8.00
In Charles Willeford's book, Cockfighter, the protagonist of the story starts off with simultaneously losing his trailer and his underage wife; he'd taken a gamble by doctoring one of his prize gamecock's beaks and lost everything except what he could carry. Filter that into stucco, Florida heat, jobs that get in the way, large record collections, and waking up pissed but productive, and there you have The Tim Version's second full-length opus to the cracks in the concrete of American life.
From the underside of America’s drooping wang comes a band that’s not as dumb as the name may suggest. Their songs are about the overwhelming beauty of life, dumb assholes who you can safely deduce are dumb assholes from the stickers on their jacked-up trucks and lack of use of a blinker to indicate a lane change, to alcoholic therapists. Suburban problems sung by working class dudes who “failed to get with the program” and “followed their dreams” of continuing to make music later on in life. Sweat bands and flip flops were worn in the absence of irony during this record. Think of Superchunk at a yard sale, mixed with a little Leatherface and the desperate, misfit, determined underdog values of Dinosaur Jr. Featuring members of Hüsker Düchebag, Clairmel, Shitty Shitty Gangbang, and the Tim Version.
first pressing - 500 (116 purple mix "w/blue and white", 170 indigo mix "w/black and white", 214 black mix "w/ purple and white")
Four original, unreleased tracks by each band, following the time-tested-and-true formula of Snuffy Smiles. Pretend that Japan wasn’t another continent, that it fit right in place of California, and these bands could van pool to the other parts of America.
Blotto: Ask, “Who is the Japanese Bruce Springsteen when they slow down”? Would they sound like The Tim Version? Yes. A little bit, but with sake instead of whiskey. Kampai!
Conniption Fits: Channeling underground Orange County punk rock that too few folks know about, in the vein of The Pegs and The Drips: crunchy, punchy, guitar-driven rock.
Sass Dragons: A Chicago-an Dwarves-style hardcore—with a Black Sabbath hiccup—by three dudes who aren’t that tough but have a more-than-significant-amount of chest hair between them.
Prohibition: From the Minnesota of Japan, a song that’s both Blitz and Replacements and neither and both at the same time. Just imagine them in Viking helmets and tight underwear playing in your front room.
Record stuffs: Pressing of 500, all mixed color. Co-release with Let’s Pretend. Cover art by Ben Snakepit.
PRETTY BOY THORSON HOWLING! with pretty boy thorson and friends 7" EP $3.50
Being that our generation of DIY punk is being seriously dismissed, go ahead and call bullshit if you want, but Jesse Thorson is turning into our generation’s David Allan Coe. Outlaw misery. Life misery. Full-bottle comfort. Empty-bottle misery. Transmission-just-dropped-out-half-way-across-the-country, no-money music. Beside Jesse’s verifiable renegade stance are expertly crafted songs—some would call them old country and not be entirely wrong—that are told through the hungry eyes of someone who is seeking more than this life has been able to offer. Four songs with a rotating cast of Minnesota rogues. If there was any justice in this world—and there’s not—Jesse would be sharing the charts with Merle and Johnny. Instead, we can all share a bottle and start kicking things aside as this little fucker spins around.
first pressing - 500 (21 pink mix, 31 purple mix, 49 white mix, 70 dark gray mix, 146 light gray mix, 183 black mix)
VENA CAVA "Weapons Of Mass Communication" CD EP $6.00
Waiting for new Vena Cava songs is pretty much like watching the polar ice caps melt. And when they do, the results are devastating. Fronted by brother and sister, April and Corey, they’re a punk pop trio from North Park, CA. (Think X, not Queers). Corey is a tall man who, at one time, looked like the Pringles dude, but is now rockin’ a Dostoevsky beard. April says a lot of people think they’re twins. One of them is four years older. April often wears dresses and is tough. Party Marty blacked out mid fist pump during their pre-Fest set, knocking April’s microphone right into her teeth. She didn’t stop singing. This is a six-song EP. Yes, it took them four years, but, hey, at least they’re not displacing polar bear habitats. Five of the songs are new. One’s re-recorded. All of them kill.
PRETTY BOY THORSON / CORTEZ THE KILLER split 7" $3.50
Hello Minnesota! Two bands, two songs apiece. Pretty Boy Thorson continues to rebuild the house that has laid vacant by the likes of… uhm, non-shitty rock’n’roll that’s all sparky and not wanky. Think if rockabilly wasn’t so “skinhead retirement program” and more fuck-yeah, stripped-down, meat and callous, Hank Williams Sr. rock. Their second song, “Can't Find the Lord” is a Cranford Nix cover. Cranford died of an overdose at 33, but lives on at 33 1/3. Cortez The Killer – let’s be honest, dudes – recorded their two offerings on a shitty four track. But would you rather have a Yngwie Malmsteen-sounding “good” or the ‘60s, Top Of The Tops-style scorchers that Cortez The Killer play and are catchy as fuck? A little rough around the edges; just like we like it. Dave Disorder personally silk-screened all 500 covers by himself, by hand (not by robot), on his kitchen table. Each one is different and quality is dependant on how stoned Dave was..
STRANDED "Broken Bottles And The Way We Live" 7" $3.50
A lot of people think that Ferdinand Magellan was the first man to circumnavigate the globe. He wasn’t. He got killed in the Philippines, but his crew made it. A lot of people may think that it’s easy to get out of town. A town like Tampa. But there’s this thing called beer. Pour that over your head in a waterfall of apathy, throw in some STDs (both the burny type and warty type), a concealed firearm, and let that all soak in for eight years. Then tell me that the city line of Tampa is only ten miles away. For The Stranded, that city line may as well be the Strait of Magellan (off of the coast of South America). But they rage. For fans of: unchecked aggression, NOFX withdrawals, and laziness.
Brighten up your day with songs about cancer, death, alcoholism, and self hatred. You can actually hear the vein in Dave Decker's forehead throb in the recording. We're talking intense dude. With members and ex members of Clairmel, Vaginasore Jr, and the Dukes Of Hillsborough. Recorded by Rob Mc Gregor. Artwork by Keith Rosson.
Life would be better if you were followed around by a life-sized foam mascot in the shape of a beer bottle that would come to your rescue every time you were about to make a bad decision and would reward you with a drink every time you made a good choice. Foamie would stop you from doing stupid shit like buying, say, a Mayday Parade record, and he’d jump with joy when you picked up Blotto—perhaps Japan’s best export since the microprocessor. We give them D4; the Land of the Rising Sun returns the favor. Diplomacy! Thanks Foamie! 20 songs total, only 500 pressed.
first pressing- 501 pressed (7 gold, 98 yellow, 396 black)
THE TIM VERSION "Still Have The Nerve To Call Ourselves A Band" CD $8.00
A collection of out-of-print, hard-to-find, half-of-splits, and hey-we-haven’t-used-that-yets. If you’re already a fan of The Tim Version, it saves you any chance of exercise by switching from the record player to CD; you know what you’re in for. If you’re new to ‘em, imagine watching America’s formation and demise, as sung by a drunk, yet hopeful, rocket scientist and backed by a guy who really doesn’t like to be yelled “Alex Van Fucking Halen” at when he drums. Well, at least repeatedly. 28 tracks.
DAN PADILLA / THE TIM VERSION TILTWHEEL / HIDDEN SPOTS split 7" $3.50
Tiltwheel is 2/3rds Dan Padilla. The Hidden Spots is some ratio of The Jack Palance Band, sand, and awesome. Dan Padilla was named after a bank robber. The Tim Version is named not only after a Replacement’s album, but a specific (and preferred) version of Tim. It’s a four-way battle royale and no one’s getting thrown out of the ring. If you’re a person who can hear burritos whisper, the burrito’s pretty much telling you this kills.
first pressing- 300 pressed (300 black)
second pressing- 400 pressed (26 hot pink, 59 gray, 77 pink, 94 purple, 144 blue)
Party. Rock. Weed. Pizza. Beer. Dumb is good. This 7” makes the Ramones seem like smart…. math… guys. Members and ex-members of: Tiltwheel, Dan Padilla, Vaginasore Jr., No Truth Lies, Watson, Clairmel, Blood Bath and Beyond and Rcade Inferno. The Daves are: Dave Disorder, Dave Decker, Davey Quinn, Rcade Dave, and Larry "Joe" David.
first pressing- 300 pressed (300 black)
second pessing- 300 pressed (12 purple, 32 gray, 57 light blue, 199 blue)
Chattanooga is a place where rats have big tumors, that if an out-of-town band plays a tennis court and doesn’t bring enough beer, it could get ugly with the locals, and is home to some of the hardest-partying, down-to-earth people who love music. Vocally lead by Eric Nelson, and backed by Mike Pack, inventor of the “Shit Stain High Five,” this is all about self-definition in your life on the inside (flags are stupid, empty pulpits would be rad), and partying on the outside (drugs soaked with other drugs, in beer; more please). It’s not a paradox, either, it’s just life lived fully.
first pressing- 500 pressed (498 black, 2 pink and black)
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS / THE DUKES OF HILLSBOROUGH split 7" $3.50
Working class post traumatic stress disorder music… that you can drink to… or obsess over an ex-girlfriend about… while serious contemplating killing someone or something. OWTH from Minneapolis. Dukes from Tampa. Both buuuuummmmmeeeddd.
first pressing- 500 pressed (1 purple, 6 yellow, 10 red and black, 83 black, 200 green, 200 red)
second pressing- 500 pressed (500 black)
This is the record that landed Tiltwheel… in some of the finest backyards and basements across this great land of ours. Davey Tiltwheel knows his music. He picked the only non-shit Icicle Works song in existence. Originally released on laser disc. An original member of Tiltwheel would go on to jump the Great Wall of China on a skateboard. (Fact checked!) Another member got kicked out of Blink 182 when they were known just as Blink. (“You’re in!” and they never called back.)
PRETTY BOY THORSON AND THE FALLING ANGELS "Take It Easy" CD $8.00
Just as it takes a certain amount of nuts to be lounging on a lavender sparkle Sportster while retaining a sneer, Pretty Boy Thorson play instruments that have been pussified by too many coffee house dickweeds. And they reclaim them into songs that pounce. If you call this folk-punk, use the rear door, hippie. Music made to lose your voice singing along to.
PRETTY BOY THORSON AND THE FALLING ANGELS "Aint It Funny" CD $8.00
Gave up on self-described rockabilly awhile ago. Couldn’t hang out with the gangs of Fonzs. Heeeeyyy! But if you like the idea of a little backbeat, a little acoustic guitar wrestled around, a melody you can snap your finger to without being surrounded by hair grease, you’ll be liking this. From Minneapolis. If fashion had never met up with the genre at the beginning… it would blaze.
Have you ever met dudes that the cleanest thing in their lives was their motorcycle? Looked like total fuckin’ dirtbags, smelled bad, ill-fitting clothes, but what they rode was immaculate and was perfectly tuned? I have no idea what the grooming habits of the dudes in Watson look are, but they sure make some pretty, ballsy music. I can’t help imagine that they ignore all the extraneous parts of their lives—shit like what toothpaste to use or ever thinking about buying shoes if the ones they’re wearing don’t have holes—into making intricately fitting songs so listenable. Contain: Richie, Paul, and Dave from Clairmel and Jeff from the The Dukes.
Member lovingly held in a chokehold during a Radon set by a bouncer? Check. Pedophilia/stalker cover? Check. Name that pretty much guarantees that women will think twice – three times – about buying it? Check. But that doesn’t negate the fact that creeper melodies, manic energy, and good times don’t prevail. Contains members of Clairmel and the Tim Version.
hello there! just a reminder that were crankin out screen printed vinyl stickers in 48 Hrs or less and now we're printing can coozies at a low 24 peice minimum. hell yeah!!! thanks dude, james
