OK, I think I’ve got it this time. This song was written in 1996 and first appeared on the Emptiness tape. This version is an outtake from the 1998 sessions for Pornucopia. It’s a great version, and the only reason it wasn’t included was that it did not mix with the subject matter of the other songs. Enjoy.

Another site with our songs. There are a few here that aren’t duplicated elsewhere. I love the automatic “’s” websites give to titles of webpages. Jackass Penguinsizz.
Originally written and recorded for Pornucopia, this song was also recorded for Strand. While the Pornucopia version has a more Beatlesque quality to it, this one is slower and resembles a death march. I prefer the Pornucopia version, although this one has better sound quality.
A simple acoustic song from the 1996 “Emptiness” album. Written about routine blue-collar life before I was even out of high school. Still rings true, although I do make a little more than minimum wage now.
From the amazing “Strand” album comes this soundscape. The song features backwards vocals & guitar and forwards clarinet and tambourine. The things you can do with a cassette recorder that digital recording wishes it could do. Enjoy.
This incidentally marks our 50th song that we have shared on Tumblr. Although we have this song already on Soundcloud, I felt we needed a strong showing for #50. From Side B of the Interstate album comes this track featuring the talented Alayne along with the underappreciated Dead Milkmen track “Vince Lombardi Service Center”. Enjoy!
The grand finale for the “Crude Hoyle” album by Diskovepher. Using only a drum, vocals and cassette players, this song’s background humming borrows heavily from U2’s “Babyface”. The album this is taken from enjoyed a cult following at Arlington High School.
Here is a different version of Stolen Shoes from the Not An Album album. This song has always had a crappy ending, but it’s still catchy while it lasts.
One of a few songs in the JP catalog that doesn’t feature Derrick at all. This seemed appropriate today, if not for the subtle reminder to go get your free slurpees before they run out of cups. I don’t want any of you to become the subject of this song. From the Interstate album, which showcased how much better a musician Alayne was than Derrick at the time.
I could never scream the way I did in this song ever again. It’s crazy that my voice was even capable of going that high. The song didn’t have a name until after it was recorded. Enjoy.
