Two Minutes’ Enlightenment
(Links open into new player windows. Lyrics are included.)
Recorded in Alameda, CA, by the great Bart Thurber, a.k.a., House of Faith. Our first try at recording (with Craigums at the new Dutch oven) just didn’t work out; we started over from scratch with Bart.

Yeehaw Junction (7”)
(Links open into new player windows. Lyrics are included.)
The first three songs were our side of a split-7” with Bitchin’. The fourth song didn’t fit, and ended up on a compilation which none of us ever got a copy of. We all recorded on the same day, after a short tour together to raise the money for the time at Rob McGregor’s studio in Gainesville. Sadly, this may be Bitchin’s last recording.
The packaging includes an amazing six-color hand-screened cover (done by Caroline Paquita from Bitchin’) chock full of Floridiana. Look for the machine gun toting dolphin, Caroline stabbing Jeb Bush in the neck, and Iggy and Fidel gazing upon it all from Cuba. The record itself was pressed on a veritable rainbow of colored vinyl. Mine’s green.

Used To It
(Links open into new player windows. Lyrics are included.)
We recorded this one in San Jose, CA, in Joe’s garage. Joe’s left San Jose since then, and we aren’t too keen to return, either.
2009
Show at Thee Parkside, 3/6/09
(Link opens into a new player window.)
There are some new and as yet unrecorded songs here; this is one of our last shows before recording in May. We sound...if not exactly great, at least a little better than we thought we sounded. Thanks for the files, Jon Logan!
2005
Show at Burnt Ramen, 9/23/05
(Link opens into a new player window.)
This is a pretty high-quality recording, taken straight from the board at Burnt Ramen. It was a benefit show and we ended up right in the middle of a bill spanning from metal to bluegrass. This may help explain “jokes” about our name’s being “Introverted Crucifix” and “Penta Gramma”. Okay, it doesn’t really explain it. Still, Paul gets off the best line, describing a song’s meter as “iambic pentagrameter” (at about the 5 minute mark).
2004
Show at 924 Gilman Street, 1/17/04
(Link opens into a new player window. Lyrics are included.)
Another high-quality recording, this time courtesy of Paul Curran’s handy mini-disc recorder. You can also get the whole flippin’ show (28MB), complete with between songs gabbing and assorted drama. (19 MP3 files total.)
Paul also recorded sets by Wrangler Brutes and Orphans. (Not available for download here, but contact us if you’re interested in getting them.)

Live in an Oakland Kitchen
(Links open into new player windows. Lyrics are included.)
Probably from a party. At first, we thought we were going to play in the backyard, but the residents were worried about neighbor complaints. So we crammed into the kitchen with around 20 people, and someone turned on a tape recorder. Most of the between-song talking is omitted, but this decision is not final. Of course, the “heart vs. kill Butterflies” debate is included.
Please, no complaints about sound quality! This is digitized from a cassette. Plus it was an acoustically imperfect kitchen.
