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!

Salesman - Skull Laserdisc LP: - $20
Ltd Ed of 40 copies, handmade covers...
In die cut covers designed to look like those little cardboard coin protectors that coin collectors use. These look fantastic and were made by the band. Salesman is an Austin band featuring John Farmer from Barsuk's What Made Milwaukee Famous. I've been trying to figure out how to describe them, but their sound is hard to nail down. There are tinges of mid-90's Texas Alternative Noise rock bands (Toadies/Baboon/Caulk) along with shades of Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, etc. But check it out for yourself at: http://www.myspace.com/salesmanband/

Southerly - Champion of the Noisy Negativists LP: - $20
Ltd Ed of 50 copies on clear LP, hand-screened.
This is not a standard Southerly record... it was actually originally recorded by Krist Krueger (Southerly frontman) as a solo project under a different name, but the full band began playing songs from it and Krist decided to make it a Southerly release. It is a very beautiful, atmospheric, droney kind of instrumental record. Really good, late rainy night kind of feel. Ltd ed of 50 in hand screened covers on clear lathe cut vinyl 12".

Golden Boots - Bland Canyon Adventure 10" Lathe Cut: - $20
Ltd Ed of 75 copies, paint by numbers cover with paint set (and potential bonus gift):
One of the earliest Golden Boots releases, this was written, recorded, manufactured (40 copies) and played live in the space of 8 hours in April of 2005. And it is REALLY, REALLY good!. Features Justin Champlin (Nobunny) on drums and a special appearance by Dr. Dog. Comes in a paint-by-numbers cover and includes Golden Boots Brand Watercolor Paints. It is very important to both the band and PIAPTK that these covers actually get painted. But, knowing the collector mindset, we knew that the chances of record nerds actually painting them were slim. So, we decided that we needed to offer a free gift that would be an essential part of the package. In order for this thing to be "complete" you need to have the lathe cut cd-r (with an unreleased song recorded in my backyard on a 1940s wire recorder called "Ugly One" that has been lathe cut into the backside). And you will only receive this once you email a picture of your paint by numbers job (preferably with yourself holding it), thereby making the set complete. Golden Boots and PIAPTK have a history of what Dmitri affectionately calls "dick moves", which I just think are fun, i.e. oversized 7" jackets that protrude obtrusively in your shelf, LPs with cassettes stuck to the front,etc. This is just another in a proud legacy of us making your record collecting hobby more difficult, and thereby more intrinsically valuable to you. Coincidentally (or IS it?), the time it takes to paint the cover is the exact running time of the record. CD shipping is free!

Lazer Zeppelin - American Derivative LP : - $10/12
The debut recording from Olympia supergroup (mems of L.A.K.E., Full Red, Number Bear, Twig Palace, etc) will blow your mind. Imagine the Carter Family arranged by John Cale, produced by Phil Spector and Kevin Shields, and mastered by Daniel Johnston on his Sears and Roebuck tape recorder. 8 epic tracks of echo soaked lo-fi beauty. You can check out a below low budget video for the song Sinking Sand here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbZ_7PVx3gU. There will be a video for the second single, Moses, up on youtube soon.

34. Karl Blau: Ho! Western Lands/Wing Flap Mantra - TRIANGULAR 8" - FREE
This record is FREE! But, of course, there is a catch. As a Holiday gift, and in celebration of our 32nd release (in just over two years?!?!??!), we are offering this up as a free thank you gift to our "frequent buyers". It's a little thank you gift to the handful of folks that buy the majority of our releases. We really do appreciate you! Anyone who owns 20 or more of our releases gets one of these beautiful records for FREE! And when I say beautiful, I MEAN it. The picture does not do this thing justice. On clear, triangular vinyl, in a hand-cut heavy duty picture disc sleeve that has been resewn together with a homemade velum insert in each flap. There are only 25 of these available, and they CANNOT be purchased... If you are one of the few that qualifies for this, please put a comment in your purchase that lets me know how many of our releases you have. I will probably recognize your names anyway. If you are close, but don't have enough of our releases yet, don't worry, we have plenty coming up in the next few months! If these run out, there is another bonus gift in the works for later!

Songs: Ho! Western Lands, Wing Flap Mantra.

24. Golden Boots - EV/Coyote Deathbed Surprize
LOTS OF OPTIONS ON THIS ONE!

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.

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.

Deluxe Expanded Edition!
Because of the foul-up at the pressing plant during the initial run, we never got any of the "swirl" vinyl that I really wanted for this release. So, I ordered an additional 250 on pink and orange "starblast" vinyl. And they look AMAZING! Unfortunately, I had already cleaned off the screens for the covers before I knew I would need more. Dmitri from Golden Boots suggested doing an alternate cover and including a new cassette as part of the packaging. And thus, EV/CDS/TF was born! The full 17 song album is also available for digital download at cdbaby.com, and iTunes. Cdbaby is cheaper, though! There are also 25 copies that come in unique collage sleeves made by the Boots themselves. The Telelog Freedom cassette is also available for individual purchase.

43. Arrington DeDionysio's Malikat Dan Singa - Rasa Sentuh 7"
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.

25. Casiotone For The Painfully Alone - STSNC Instrumentals 7"
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.

One mic, in the middle of the room, no retakes/no overdubs. This 8" is PIAPTK's most labor intensive to date.

08. 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.

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

04. 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
