The Weisstronauts Instro-tainment! CD 2008 The long-awaited fourth instrumental album from the 'Nauts is sonically broader than ever, featuring plenty on Moog synth, Farfisa organ, fiddle, banjo, and autoharp (in addition of course to the triple electric guitar threat that Weisstronauts fans have come to love so dearly.) Special guests Bow Thayer and Doug Yule (yes, of the Velvet Underground) contribute joyfully to the proceedings.

Sool Sooltime CD 2005 "That's a good CD." --Michael Hurley, folk-psych legend Visit www.soolmusic.com		The sophomore album from Sool is comprised of 52 tracks, each about a minute long. Here's the gist of it: Robocop travels the world and pierces listeners' psyches, 10-year-old Timmy Franklin rides his silver-plated scooter to meet the Devil and eventually surfs a tornado up to his own personal azure, a man evokes the Heimlich Maneuver to win the heart of his hippy hostess, guitar lessons are given away for free, Cajun pastries cause massive brain damage, a homeless man yearns to return to the capital of Florida, Christmas comes and goes, and love, lust, and yearning are everywhere from the supermarket to the bottom of a bottle to the tip of a banana. Sooltime Radio Ad MP3 Also contains an mp3 Sool commentary of the group's first CD.

Pete Weiss & the Rock Band We're An American Band CD 2000 PW&RB conceived of recording an EP of covers (Grand Funk, Beatles, Zappa, T Rex, and Cream, to be exact). Then they conceived of throwing in the rock 'n roll towel. Some pretty decent (and strange) studio tidbits were combined with the covers and --voila!-- a farewell album was born. Actually it's dang good.
