-Thomas Patrick Maguire - A Slight Return (2007) CDR - OJD/0234- Like the best American singer-songwriters, Thomas Patrick Maguire tells stories. Influenced equally by melancholy troubadours like Elliott Smith and Nick Drake, and by iconoclastic '90s alternative rock like Sebadoh and Nirvana, he sets his low-key tales of working-class life to deceptively simple stripped-down melodies that haunt the listener long after they've first heard Thomas's music. No wonder New York Newsday has twice lauded him as one of New York's best local artists in its year, calling his music "utterly hypnotic."

-Thomas Patrick Maguire - Woodside Lanes (2006) CDR - OJD/0235- Picks up where Pissing Streams left off on a slightly more somber note.

Thomas Patrick Maguire - Pissing Streams (2004) CDR - OJD/0236- Remember when CD's first started getting popular and people started putting out like 70 minutes of music just because they could. Yeah? Well, Thomas Patrick Maguire did that with his first album Pissing Streams and thank God because I could listen to that guys, rainy day, end of the work week, baritone voice for hours and hours and hours. For fans of Nirvana Unplugged.
