Bob Corn - We don't need the outside
CD 2009 | NPR 12
Offset 2 color w/ 2 color lyric sheet
10 tracks
North Pole Records is proud to release Bob Corn's new album "We don't need the outside" in the United States. Bob Corn is the songwriting vehicle of Tizio Sgarbi, from the rural Italian countryside, and his music reflects the sparseness and beauty associated with a farming life. His soft guitar, tender lyrics, and hopeful songs are filled with longing, hushed harmonies, brushed drums, and broken English. The sound is captivating; with Tizio sounding like a shy Leonard Cohen or a sleepy Bonnie "Prince" Billy.
Bob Corn has kept busy the past few years touring Europe and releasing albums on the Fooltribe label in Italy. We became interested, when Miss Massive Snowflake toured with him in Germany in 2008. The stars have aligned and the fields are fertile. The time is right for Americans to hear what Italians can do with the same tools as us. Help spread the word.

Rainstick Cowbell - fireants
CD Digipak 2009 | NPR 11
2 color letterpress Cover w/ 2 color 12 page lyric book
14 tracks
Scott Arbogast from the defunct Creepy Old Trucks now wields the moniker Rainstick Cowbell. He's left behind the bass and the drummer of his prior outfit, for an emotional excursion on acoustic guitar with tight strumming, severe picking and tense open spaces. His literary lyrics lament heroes past against snapshots of his own raw emotions. Hailed as the Acoustic Agitator, Rainstick Cowbell instigates, castigates and prognosticates about the world's weary state with an open heart and a bitter tone.
Epic in scale, intimate in detail, this is poetry and music intertwined around philosophy, history and ugly truths – laced with fragile hope. Rainstick Cowbell conjures up the great personal/political songwriters, like Billy Bragg, Woody Guthrie and Ani D'Franco, if they were more pissed..
Love Calls is an international collaboration of artists and labels. A 7” vinyl memento released between North Pole Records (American) and Fooltribe Dischi (Italian). This sweet collaboration of native Oregonian music / love channeler, Larry Yes, and Italian farmer / wanderer, Tiziano Sgarbi, aka Bob Corn has each artist performing an original song and then covering a song by the other.
Bob Corn sings in poignant accented english with an acoustic guitar. Songs of longing, memory, and love. His grammar may be incorrect but his observations are unique descriptions of transatlantic truths. Larry Yes continues the strumming as well as bringing swooning horns and suitcase drums along for some moments of stoned wandering.
Larry Yes has released 5 solo cds over the past 10 years and recorded / toured Europe and America solo and in Art of Flying, Six Foot Sloth, and The Pink Widower. Bob Corn has two cds on Fooltribe and is probably playing somewhere in the world as you read this.
-500 copies.

Road Race - Get to the Point
CDr 2008 | NPR 09
11 tracks, 50 minutes
North Portland wunderkind, Kirkland Leach's, first release on North Pole Records but definitely not his last. Kirk is a 9 year old boy and, "playing keyboard at two
years old, that's when I started keyboard...", are the words that tumble from his mouth. He has recorded his astute observations of the human condition
along with that keyboard on hundreds of cassettes, as well as making illustrated audio books of his writings. Very Prolific and really good. Daniel Johnston and Def Leppard with a bit of autistic megalomania thrown in. We love it.
Features Shane de Leon on drums. Road Race Rocks!!!
Miss Massive Snowflake - Queen's Headache
CD 2008 | NPR07
3 color letterpress folio and sleeve
15 tracks | 32 minutes | 5 videos
Queen's Headache is the first full length cd by Miss Massive Snowflake, who is Shane de Leon
(ex-Rollerball vocalist and trumpeter). The music is lush and orchestrated with an abundance of horns,
percussion, and electronics. The songs are short, the message is huge, and de Leon has brought in lots of
kids to do his lyrical dirty work about stopping the war and loving each other. Two of the vocalists
are under ten and the other singer besides de Leon is Portland's love master himself, Larry Yes. Queen's
Headache is an extremely fun, funky, and timely album that is filled with quality songs and ideas. The feel
is somewhere between an atheistic Danielson Famile, an anarchistic Prince, and a less technical Zappa.
Dramady - Better Forever
Digipak CD 2007 | NPR 06
