Debut Album

ive finished my first compilation/album of stealin and thievin songs. I was going to give them away at the cut off shows this week in NZ but didnt get my act into gear to make enough tapes. Its only available on cassette, primarily because it doesnt really sound very good on any other format. And also because when cut off played at the cake shop in ludlow recently with a great band from brooklyn called 'woods' i only had enough money to buy their casette of 'some shame'. It has turned out to be my favorite possesion at the moment, and i love the way it sounds worse with every listen. With the credit crunch we cant afford to keep progressing with technology so we should be embracing a recession in terms of regresssion of standards, start making cassettes again. Come on!
So i was tempted to post a link to some mp3's for this record, buuuuuttttt, im not going to, instead im going to make a bunch and give them away at my next few shows for cut off your hands or whatever...also (even though NO ONE reads this) if you want one you can email me your address to: nick.cutoff@gmail with the subject line: STEALIN AND THIEVIN CASSETTE PLEASE and i'll send one to you asap...
the cover looks like this:
and this is the trackisting:

1. Giving Up
2. My Useless Skin
3. I guess i could try harder
4. Instrumental from 2005
5. Where the water meets the sky
6. Moonriver - by Henri Mancini
7. Breeding lilacs out of the dead land
8. Running away to join the circus
9. Bury her in the ocean
10. Nostalgia - song features on cut off your hands 'you and i' but was originally a stealin and thievin song.
11. You are no better
12. When you're only 21

of course its not mastered or EQ'd and it sounds just as i want it to.
I hope you like.
