Mess Head
(Chocolate Monk) 3-inch CDR $8.00 (Out-of-stock)

Obsessed
(Zaius Tapes) LP $18.00
For the better part of five decades, Ron House has been dispatching his singular take on Americana via bands such as Moses Carryout, Great Plains, Thomas Jefferson Slave Apts & Counter Intuits. Yet in 2002 he self-released this album as solo CD, the most ambitious effort in his canon, and arguably his most ignored. It follows the front-to-back tale of an unnamed protagonist as he traverses the landscape of a disintegrating relationship. Early quasi platitudes descend into humiliating pratfalls, until a grudging perspective is achieved. Obsessed is an opus of maddening despair, wrapped around a Edward Albee-esque drama, played out enigmatically in a People's Court of song. Delivering key musical assists along the way are members of Movieola, TJSA, Jerry DeCicca & Noel Sayre. In the rarefied modus operandi of The Harrisburg Players, the tenor on Obsessed threads a needle through the sanguinity of Townes Van Zandt, Phil Ochs’s self-immolation and the cracker barrel charm of Michael Hurley. Edition of 300 copies.
Numbers
(Zaius Tapes) LP $18.00 (Out-of-stock)

Awakened Spirits Of Ancient Mischief
(Chocolate Monk) CDR $8.00 (Out-of-stock)
COMING SOON An eight-coarse meal of invigorating junk noise and tape brownout trash. Baked in crud designed to be enjoyed at any volume, weirdo. Cody Brant says it’s a reworked sound diary of mischievous actions on night walks. Tavern to Tavern and in between. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida flashback story. Credit card scrapers get the cops called.” Edition of 60
Lexapro Blues
(Chocolate Monk) CDR $8.00 (Out-of-stock)
COMING SOON. Home brewed, deep fried, rambling rawness by Jeff the Bay Stater who shares his crumpled thoughts via broken ballads and barely-there blues, sidestepping grace so you can have a full huff of the cosmic cake. A series of skittering bedroom vignettes stitched together to form a misshapen whole. Like one of the more folk tinged ESP-Disks but with far more hotrock burns on the cover. Half baked is the new full baked. Edition of 60
