This came out 20 years ago last Friday. Please have a listen, and if you like, download it (it’s free). It was a groundbreaking album by Jackass Penguins standards.

It’s hard to top this album. Sure, there are others with far better sound quality, but this one really stayed true to it’s vision. Now, it’s not a concept album by any means, but it’s very cohesive, probably to most cohesive in the JP catalog. Had I not added the accordion fartings on FES, it may have had some competition, but this is still the reigning champ of cohesion.

Listen/download: Stolen Shoes by Jackass Penguins

To commemorate the 18th anniversary of the release of this crappy album (LITERALLY made half a lifetime ago), I have made it a free download for a limited time only. There is both some catchy songs and some serious wanking, but you can always delete the songs you don’t care for later. Fun Fact: this used to be the only album that ever sold in the JP catalog. That changed only last year.

Today is the actual anniversary of this album being released. I was in my final weeks of high school when it was given to my friends. One of my friends’ parents really liked the tape and gave me $5 for it. You can get the digital version for the price of…ON THE HOUSE.

This is the complete nonsense that spews forth when creating a song on a whim. Take 1.

Listen/purchase: Gas Station by Jackass Penguins

Just got back from a nice drive to Ventura County and back. Sometimes I feel guilty getting paid for a day like this. Anyways, here’s a song written about a similar day, but I still can’t explain how it got so angst-ey.

Listen/purchase: Stolen Shoes by Jackass Penguins

A song that was recorded during the first performance; written during recording. I liked it so much that I recorded it again verbatim for Fashion Victims a month or two later.
