Twacky Cats Twacky Cats, released by Comfort Stand Records in 2004, is an EP by American electronic musician Dan Deacon. Each song explores a different style. "Arms Saloon" is a sampled based piece drawing samples from the works of Buddy Holly and Deacon's signature FM modulated sine waves dominating it. "Lion With A Sharks Head" is a hi-tempo absurdist song about various animals in a jungle. "Connor Kizer with Bead Jewelery" (sic) is a slow ambient song that segues into "When I Was Taller" - a highly experimental song that verges on noise and neoclassical all at once. Ending the EP is "Ohio," except unlike the NBC performance version, this version has no pitch modified vocals and a less prominent bridge with a quieter sine background.

Five (Goodbye Mr Mackenzie album) Five is the third album from the Scottish group Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie and was self-released in 1994 by the band on their own label Blokshok Records. It has a rougher edge to it than their two previous major label albums, partly due to Martin Metcalfe being inspired by grunge music and The Pixies. The album was supported by the extended play release of "Hard" as a single. "Five" failed to revive interest outside of the band’s existing fanbase. Metcalfe later explained: "We turned to a harder sound and radio wasn’t prepared to play it".
