![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Vinyl Boy - The Christmas Album - Vinyl Boy
The Christmas Album covers 1997 to January 2001 and some pretty extreme audio plundering. The oldest song is "Gossta Heat em Up" from 1997, when I was 15, made with a Walkman and a boombox. The longest song is "Urine Pop" at 20 minutes, made on a computer. "Episode 1" was my first song made on a computer. "Episode 3" took the longest to make, probably six months. The shortest song is "900 foot nemo" at 1:05, made on computer with help from voicemail...

| Father Bingo - Hygienic Productions - Father Bingo
Father Bingo is the solo musical project of Philadelphian graphic artist Mike Lebovitz. "Hygienic Productions," his debut, tells the story of 1940s exploitation film promoter Kroger Babb and his decline. Not all of Mike's songs are depressing or about obscure people from film history. Mike can also be seen kicking your ass with the Philly punk band Stereo Atomico.

| Submission Holds: The Best of Crackerbox Deathmatch - Various Artists
From June 2002 to June 2003, Crackerbox.net hosted a series of weekly deathmatches pitting songs by basement recording artists up against each other. Fans voted for their favorite each week. Waiting for the winner was a gold medal, presidential phone calls, generous gifts from our sponsors, and all the other spoils that come with a blood-soaked victory. But pity the poor loser, who became destined to face a lifetime of eternal shame...

| Spencer Owen - Spencer Owen
A self-titled album exploring illusory sensuality through the dulcet tones of the Omnichord. NOTE: Some of the songs may be suggestible enough to soundtrack romantic overtures; experiment with this possibility at your own risk.

| A Documentary by Spencer Owen - Spencer Owen
Process: Collects "lost" material from years of recording, in many cases found unfinished and in need of substantial tracking, then completed for this release. Result: "All new" Spencer Owen album, drifting (sometimes jarringly) from experimental compositions to bright, soulful popsongs.

| Spencer Owen - Brother, What a Way to Run a Railroad - Spencer Owen
A sweet and (mostly) short pop formula carries lyrics dealing with abstract reality (redundant). This is a fun, slightly mournful one.

| Spencer Owen - Thanks for the Sour Persimmons, Cousin - Spencer Owen
An album about distractions and potential mistakes. Spencer's most distinctive guitar playing inspires a diverse variety of sonic textures, making this one of his most assured experiments in universe-pop. NOTE: For some reason I was unable to upload a thumbnail graphic, but please download the cover, because it's probably my best one.

| Spencer Owen - On/Playing - Spencer Owen
Four long-form experimental pieces, and one short-form (twice). Starts in an opium den jam session and ends with your head getting smashed into a metal railing (which of course inspires your greatest and most beautiful existential epiphanies). NOTE: DON'T TAKE THINGS TOO SERIOUSLY; THE COVER IS UGLY ON PURPOSE, BUT THE MUSIC IS BEAUTIFUL.

| Spencer Owen - Pacific/Ocean Project - Spencer Owen
Mostly instrumental music. Ideas that evoke water through the genres of rock and post-rock and pop and post-pop. 2003. NOTE: THE FIRST SONG IS IN 128, SO IT DOESN'T GET PACKAGED WITH THE REST WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE VBR ZIP FILES. THIS IS ANNOYING AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT HAPPENS, BUT DON'T PANIC, JUST DOWNLOAD THE FIRST SONG ON ITS OWN. Thanks.
