Note on Cost of Lathe
Cuts - I know these are expensive. They
are really fun to do, but are ridiculously expensive to make when
you figure the
production, labels, and shipping costs from New Zealand, wire
transfer fees and the totally weak US dollar in relation to the
world market. My general pricing policy on these is to price them
just high enough to pay for the costs of the copies that I give
to the bands and the few that I keep for my archives. There is
NO profit margin on them, and I often lose money on the run. But
I really love making them, plan to continue doing so (when/if
the dollar improves), and really hope you enjoy listening to them!
PLEASE NOTE! I will be in and
out of town all summer long (see front page for dates). Feel free
to order, but I will have to fulfill all the orders whenever I
blow back into town for a couple days.

Casiotone For The Painfully Alone - STSNC Instrumentals 7"
- $5
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. These should be available just in time for CFTPA's
West coast tour that starts on May 21st. However, they are
available for preorder right now! He will also have some copies
available at the merch table. There were only 300 of these
made, most of the ones left are on dark grey/black marbled
vinyl. However, there are a few other weirdo colors that will
be slipped in here and there. These will probably sell out
extremely quickly, so order soon. Any items ordered with this
record will be held until all items are available.

Golden Boots - EV/Coyote Deathbed
Surprize
- $10
Throw
Mutations-era Beck, The Monkees, and Gram Parsons into a
blender and you would get something roughly equivalent to
Tucson, AZ's The Golden Boots. This is a double EP 12"
that is comprised of Coyote Deathbed Surprize tour-only
EP, and the EV ep, which was originally intended to be released
on the Trust Series. When I received those tracks, I couldn't,
in good conscience, allow there to be only 25 copies. I
feel that way with a lot of the lathe cuts I release, but
this one was just TOO GOOD! So here it is. There are 250
on MINT GREEN vinyl, and 250 Translucent Blue/Black whisps
vinyl.
On top of all that this record has a couple of very peculiar
qualities:
SIDE A - PLAYS FROM THE INSIDE OUT!
SIDE B - HAS DOUBLE GROOVES that run parallel, meaning that
if you put the needle down on the lead-in groove, you will
play either the odd or even grooves, and each set of grooves
has a different set of songs.
Songs: Side A: Ancient Buried City, West Nile Isle
(Dictaphone Buffett Version), Ghost
Machine, Days are Night, Slangin Family Ties Dub. Side
B: Evil One, Everything,
Evil Eye, Everytime.

Casper and the Cookies/Keith John Adams Split 8" Faux
Picture Disc in hand knit covers!!
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.

mic, in the middle of the room, no retakes/no overdubs. This
8" is PIAPTK's most labor intensive to
date. These one-sided 8"s were silkscreened on the flipside
and Kay Stanton from CATC HAND KNIT all of the bags! As KJA
says "They also make very fetching hats". Ltd edition

WIll Johnson (Centro-Matic)
on Square Vinyl
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 |

07. Jad Fair with
Daisy Cooper on
Square Vinyl
PIAPTK Limited Edition Suscription 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.

8" in hand screenprinted covers.

05. The Poster
Children"Lost Songs 1996" by
on Triangular Vinyl
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

The Viking Moses "Lands of the Pink" LP
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 |
