OK, I'm sure you guys tire of the "pimp the merch" posts. But if I don't do it, who will? I ask you for your indulgence today. Thank you. Two big things to mention: ALL SHIRTS ARE 15% OFF! Yes, indeed! All shirts, all styles, both Men's and Women's, are all on sale for the month of December.

And then, we have a thing called THE WONKY BOX: OK, so "Wonky Box" is a bit of a misnomer. There isn't really any "box," per se. Here's what you're getting: The entire Wonky Records catalog, at a hugely discounted rate, and a couple of exclusive extras. More specifically, you get: - Yogi - Any Raw Flesh? CD
- Yogi - Salve CD
- Yogi - half-pint demigodCD
- Half Zaftig - Retrograde EP CD
- Half Zaftig - Life Like Luster CD
- Half Zaftig - The Eyes Have It: B-Sides CD
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL, FOLKS! You ALSO get: - Funhouse - Oom Fala Skepsis CD
- The Soft Palate Demos CDR
What's that extra stuff, you ask? Well, I'll tell ya. Funhouse - Oom Fala Skepsis: This 1992 release was Shawn "Yogi" Farley's first-ever release, and it was also the first release of Wonky Records. The album was the swan song of the band Funhouse that Shawn played in for two years with his childhood buddy and partner-in-crime, Tobe Ramsey. This CD is from the original pressing of the album, in all it's "We're kids who don't know what we're doing" glory. There's a "special edition" of this album in the works (probably in 2012 for the 20th anniversary), but for this limited holiday offer, you can get a copy of the ORIGINAL PRESSING. Shawn wrote three of the 12 tunes, co-wrote 3 others, and played guitar on all 12. The Soft Palate Demos: In September of 2003, Shawn gave 7 newly-completed demos (all done in the space of one month) to his bandmates in Half Zaftig for consideration. Six of the seven songs eventually formed the core of what would become Life Like Luster. Here is a chance to hear what these songs sounded like in their embryonic, not-really-always-in-tune, but absolutely new and exciting form! This is a no-frills release, with the title hand-written on the CDR face by Shawn with a Sharpie.
In addition to the seven-song audio portion of this disc, there will be some bonus audio in MP3 format in the data portion: - Full-length Life Like Luster commentary by the members of Half Zaftig
- The Salve-era recording of "Numbered Days", featuring the Any Raw Flesh? band of Chris G on drums, Bryan Beller on bass, and Shawn on guitar and vocals.
- Anything else we can squeeze on there. It's a MYSTERY!
