Say Okay
Here’s the new record, and it’s only five bucks! Click on the Pay Pal button to shell out some dough and get the CD in the mail via USPS. Trust me: it sounds good. Don’t believe me? Alright, give it a listen! Go to the Band Camp page if you want to save the shipping cost and just get the download, but I seriously recommend having something tangible. Just makes the money spent seem so much more worth it, right?
Songs For My Friends And Those Girls
This is an album chronicling the confusing, bizarre, depressing, annoying, sometimes infuriating, frequently drunk and occasionally high late fall/early winter of 2010; spent watching friends having breakdowns whilst in the midst of one of my own. The songs are about love mostly; or more appropriately what happens when you are reminded in grand fashion that love isn’t as simple as you’d like it to be, and that people aren’t as genuine as you’d like to think they are. Special thanks go to my good friend Pinky, who helped me find the dark places and dig in the right spots. Couldn’t have gotten better without getting worse. Available for free download (above) and/or free streaming at cllct.com.

Exercises In Futility
Released spring of 2009, and two years in the making. There was actually some money and quite a bit of effort put into making this album and it’s the most well-received yet. If you dig what you’ve heard so far, show some love and lay down some scratch ($5 USD + $2 shipping, to be exact) so we can maybe have enough money to put out the next one (vinyl, if you’re good)! Or at least use the money to fix some broken equipment… Comes hand numbered with full color booklet featuring artwork and lyrics, and a handmade collage, found picture or photograph taken by Bobby. Limited to 100 copies. Preview everything via Band Camp below, but if you dig it please support independent music and get yourself a CD. It ain’t gonna break the bank, y’know.
The Passionate Misunderstanding

A collection of outtakes released late 2008. All were recorded before the release of How’djer Day Go? Link to a review in the reviews section.
Songs:
Oh, What A Day
Requiem For My Puppy Dog
Hugs & Smiles

The “official follow-up” to Bad Choice Brigade, originally released in the fall of 2007. Most of the songs were recorded before the previous album and temporarily shelved to make time for the Box Set Challenge. A lot of GbV and JAMC influence; the longest and most erratic album to date, and one of the most well received.
Songs:
Like Brownish Skies
Feeling So Okay
Is It Today Already
Download
Originally recorded for the Cozy Home’s “Cardboard Box Set: The Troof Over Your Head” and released in the Winter of 2006. Written (with the exception of the Arthur Rules cover) and recorded in just over three weeks. It’s amazing what you can come up with while trying to quit smoking. Again.

Intellectual Withdrawal
Big Baby Busts Loose

Here’s where it gets interesting. More concise and streamlined, but lacking the experimentation noted in the first two records. Smally’s favorite. The first album that actually got noticed by more than a few. Originally released Summer, 2006.
Songs:
Garage Sale Season
Don’t It Figure?
Enjoy It While You Can

Released during the fall of 2005. More experiments with free-form structure, but moving more towards lo-fi pop. Still pretty unfocused and inexperienced, but whatever. A lot of Sonic Youth, Elephant 6 and Animal Collective happening in the old discman whilst cleaning the Verizon customer service building around the corner every night. And it shows. One of my personal favorites.
Songs:
You’re A Large Insect
You Got Too Much, Son
How’djer Day Go?
Download
The first album, released during the winter of 2004. Struggling with a lack of experience in songwriting, singing and musicianship, though feeling quite free and open to experimentation. Part punk, part indie, part psychedelic, all a labour of love.
