Your Weak Heart	Fear Draws Misfortune (2009) CD $15 U.S.A. / $18 Overseas Our first release with Cuneiform Records. Click HERE to read a highly-descriptive review of what this record has in store for YOU, the listener!	*Domestic* *$15* *Overseas $18* (Shipping Included)	MP3: Sun Dies
Tracks: 1. Keep in Touch 2. Go Gone Green 3. Nefarious Designs, Inc. 4. You Know, You Know 5. All Over 6. Surviving a Methodogy 7. Done With the Eternal 8. Simple Life 9. Arise and Shine 10.Crisis Management 11.Crazy	What Sequel? (2006) CD $12 U.S.A. / $15 Overseas The long-awaited follow-up to 1994's seminal The Why Album. Just as long on tunefulness and even longer on ambition than its predecessor, this collection of pop gems is a satisfying listen both for folks who like a catchy tune and those who crave a bit more compositional intricacy.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Surviving A Methodology
Tracks: 1. The Autumn Wind is a Pirate 2. Camp O' Physique 3. Zervas 4. Track 29 5. The Day After I Never Met You 6. (The) Men's Wide Open 7. Smile 8. While 9. Find	Introducing Lemon (2003) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas This one might even include the kitchen sink... Introducing Lemon is a 74-minute epic work that covers so much stylistic ground (and does it so effortlessly and insidiously) that it would almost lead one to believe that the whole idea of musical categorization is entirely fictional (which, of course, it is).	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Camp O' Physique
Tracks: 1. The Autumn Wind is a Pirate 2. Camp O' Physique 3. Zervas 4. Track 29 5. The Day After I Never Met You 6. (The) Men's Wide Open 7. Smile 8. While 9. Find	Introducing Lemon (2003) Double 12” Vinyl $20 U.S.A. $24 Overseas All the goodness of the CD version and more, ‘cause, well, it’s vinyl, and... it actually includes the CD, as well. So...	*Domestic* *$20* *Overseas $24* (Shipping Included)
Tracks: 1. Coming Of Age 2. The Head Works As An Inhibitor 3. Makes You Begin 4. Cinema In The Park 5. Incantation 6. Sentenced 7. Vacate 8. Final Act 9. Dana	Variations on a Goddamn Old Man (2008) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas Third in the series. We've established a pattern here. (Every three years...) This one is very much the sister Old Man to the 2005 release. Sister Old Man? Does that even make sense? Much tunefulness here as euphoria and melancholia seem to be battling it out.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Final Act
Tracks: 1. Await 2. The Middle Age 3. Fundamental Decency 4. Hit The Showers 5. Thither 6. I Hope I Don't Kill Myself 7. In The Wings 8. Made Happier Easier 9. Circumventing Goodbye	Variations on a Goddamn Old Man (2005) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas The second in the series. This one is definitely a bit more "produced" than the first one, with the focus still being on mood, texture, and grooves. Is this Kraturock via the tape-saturated "There's A Riot Goin' On" while trying to find Robert Wyatt? And is that how one arrives at This Heat's doorstep?	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Await
Tracks: 1. Elementary 2. Lineage 3. Whitey: 4th Down and 10 4. 86 Career Man 5. Aung Sang 6. Preamble Ramble 7. Moog Homecoming 8. Repossession 9. Corn King 10.As Explained to Cancer 11.Gratuity	Variations on a Goddamn Old Man (2002) CD $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas The first in a series. Homemade songs interspersed with lots of moodinesss and joyful group chants.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Gratuity
Tracks: 1. Sub Herbs 2. Learning How To Fly 3. Today Today Today 4. Facialization 5. Driving A Nail With A Clock 6. You Never Bothered To Know Me 7. Man Of The House 8. Transposition 9. Transposition (Same Mix) 10.Transposition (Same Mix) 11.Where You Are 12.Post Script 13.Pockets 14.The Answer 15.Dead Man's Float 16.How Do You Like Your Eggs?	The Why Album (1994) $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas This fourth release by CHEER-ACCIDENT is their pop album, which contains 14 songs of an unrelenting tunefulness that had only been hinted at in previous releases.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Facialization
Tracks: 1. Evan Has A Half-Life 2. Grow 3. Modestly Clothed, Did She Trouble You? 4. Nutrition 5. 30 Seconds Of Weightlessness 6. Ice Cream And Lies 7. King Cheezamin 8. Grow II 9. Evan Had A Shelf Life (mix: MC Shapoopy)	Not A Food (1996) $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas In case you were missing some of the CHEER-ACCIDENT dissonance, distortion, and daredevil rhythmic ideas (no doubt OD-ing on the melodicism of The Why Album) this is their Rock Update. Comparable to their (until recently) long out of print (unless you count the Neat Metal version, which doesn’t count) Dumb Ask CD in terms of its aggression, but with a much richer sonic palette. Adeptly engineered by Steve Albini.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:King Cheezamin
Tracks: 1. Graphic Depression 2. Insomnia 3. Graphic Depression 4. Post-Premature 5. Salad Days	Salad Days (2000) $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas It’s the post-premature graphic depression with its frail falsetto forever unforewarning while unforeseeing the dissonance of density and rhythmic perplexity foreshadowing the resultant insomnia that amnesia forgot to Charles I’ves got to tell ya: THESE ARE THE SALAD DAYS!	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Graphic Depression
Tracks: 1. So Sorry About China 2. The Butterfly Effect 3. I Feel Sick 4. When Clowns Go Bad 5. People Are Props 6. Head Of Gumby 7. Playschool 8. Big Secret Airshow 9. Ignorance Moving Sideways 10.Flies In The Amber	Babies Shouldn’t Smoke (1993) $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas Dissonant, dark, abrasive, impossibly rhythmic with (un)healthy doses of mental illness at every turn. This is CHEER-ACCIDENT’s third release and is a perfectly unsettling blend of Chicago sludge and European noise rock. Worth the price for the full-color packaging alone, which features the beautiful and disturbed work of Chicago Artist Linda Wiley.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:When Clowns Go Bad
Tracks: 1. Garbage Head 2. Small World 3. Everyone's Ugly Up Close 4. Muffy Needs A New Pair Of Rose-Colored Glasses 5. Whitewash 6. Fat Dog's Gonna Hatch 7. Elbow Deep In Turkey 8. Filet Of Nod	Dumb Ask (1991) $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas This is CHEER-ACCIDENT at their most stripped-down and aggressive. Recorded in November ‘89 (in Steve Albini’s charmed basement studio) before Nirvana’s Nevermind and Slint’s Spiderland, Dumb Ask serves as a vital historical document placing CHEER-ACCIDENT in a sort of “alternative to the alternative” parallel universe which existed concurrently to the more “above ground” bands of the early ‘90’s.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Garbage Head
Tracks: 1. Feed Grey One 2. Snakewoman Of Burgundy 3. Sima 4. Turquoise Upholstery 5. The Dark SIde Of The Tracks 6. Won't You Sew The Crevice Please? 7. Burning Teeth 8. Mock Rejection 9. Calling Blue 10.Persimmons And A La Mode 11.Watched You Glow 12.249 Bowling 13.Society At Large 14.Paranoid 15.Tiger With A Woman's Head 16.When You Cough 17.Neo-Vivification 18.Anybody Has No 19.Freedom 20.Gauze	Younger than You are Now (2004) $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas Also known as CHEER-ACCIDENT ‘81-’84, as that is when all of these recordings took place. Yes, those were the formative years... In other words: We were in (and/or just out of) high school when we made this stuff, so give us a break!	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Feed Grey One
Tracks: 1. Fight For Innocence 2. Death And Taxes 3. Uncle Dale 4. Avoid The Invisible 5. Severed 6. Heaven 7. Black And White 8. Cutting Off My Arm So I Don't Have To Shake Hands 9. Tree Dies	Sever Roots Tree Dies (2007) $12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas CHEER-ACCIDENT's very first "official" release. It's an ambitious start-- lots of instruments and lots of compositional adventurousness. This one was always the favorite of the Prog connoisseur. Recorded and released in 1988-- so find out what "Dumb Ask" was stripping down from! This CD also includes a glossy and pretty booklet, which features some long-winded liner notes and a few photos ("here's the mellotron on the side of the house...") from the era.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Fight For Innocence
Tracks: 1. Production 2. Passion Fades 3. Dream Girl 4. Dissimulation 5. Life Conection 6. Self Exile 7. Blue 8. Nostalgia 9. I Do Love You 10.Jenny 11.The Accident 12.The Civilized War 13.Throwing Mirrors 14.Mise En Abyme 15.The Loss 16.Disjunct 17.Eclipse 18.Hurt (Final Meditation)	Thymme Jones - Career Move (1996)$12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas 46 minutes of five years of solitude. Eighteen songs. Piano and voice.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Production
Tracks: 1. Open 2. Find 3. Taken 4. Empty 5. Give	Thymme Jones - While (1996)$12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas Five piano “quartets” (recorded on 4-track) with hypnotically intertwining phrases.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)	MP3:Open
Tracks: 1. Riddler 1 2. Riddler 2 3. Riddler 3 4. Riddler 4 5. Riddler 5 6. Riddler 6 7. Riddler 7 8. Riddler 8 9. Riddler 9 10.Riddler 10	You Fantastic - Riddler (1996)$12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas Tim Garrigan. Darin Gray. Thymme Jones. An organic and insidious piece of deconstruction. Challenging, intelligent, and methodical, but certainly not lacking in visceral impact. Sometimes it’s even quite... funny.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)
Tracks: 1. Friendless 2. Songless 3. Mono 4. Substraction 5. Start 6. Slowly 7. Muted 8. Phoneless 9. Cicero's 10.July 11.Retraction 12.Speaken 13.Memphis 14.Chronic 15.Start 16.Aachen 17.Sickless 18.January 19.March 20.Louisville 21.Homeless 22.Slowly	You Fantastic - Homesickness (1998)$12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas Turning lemons into lemonade and back into lemons... A beautiful 72 minute failure. Features Tim Garrigan, Darin Gray, Thymme Jones, Jeb Bishop, and Julie Pomerleau.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)
Tracks: 1. Pals	You Fantastic - Pals (1997)$12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas A very slow moving piece of Rock which pauses briefly for a melancholic breath before ascending to a climax of white noise.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)
	Split 7” w/ Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, CHEER-ACCIDENT, Voodoo Muzak, and The Ex. (2005)$10 U.S.A. $12 Overseas Sleepytime do a version of S.P. Q.R. by This Heat. CHEER-ACCIDENT perform “The Stars”.	*Domestic* *$10* *Overseas $12* (Shipping Included)
	Brise-Glace 7” (1994)$12 U.S.A. $15 Overseas After a long dry spell, we now have the original Brise-Glace 7”in stock again. The birth of Post-Rock? Maybe. We’d have to consult a rock historian about that one. In any case, it must be the beginning of something ‘cause these distorted multi-drumbeat grooves that get enhanced and/or obliterated by otherworldly sonic bliss sure are a good time. Features Dylan Posa, Darin Gray, Thymme Jones, and Jim O’Rourke.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)
	Cool Clown Ground, the TV show that set out to transform CHEER-ACCIDENT into The Monkees of the modern era (and failed gloriously!), is now available (after over a decade and a half) on DVD.	*Domestic* *$12* *Overseas $15* (Shipping Included)
