Rilo Kiley Disco Graphy (pt. 1 - Rilo Kiley releases)(pt. 2 - comps, etc.)
| Rilo Kiley (self-titled) 1st pressing |
| CD released by Rilo Records, 1999 |
| 1. Frug 2. 85 3. Glendora 4. Papillon 5. Teenage Love Song 6. Asshole 7. Sword 8. Steve 9. [hidden track: ("Rained The Day")] |
| There are 3 versions of this release, with this 1st pressing being the rarest. It includes a track called "Steve" that's not available anywhere else. Likewise, an unknown hidden track (usually referred to by fans as either "they say it rained the day your mother gave you away" or "Rained The Day" or "Keep It Together") can only be found here. The CD cover looks exactly the same as the second pressing, the only difference is the tracks on the back are different (obviously) and there is no "RR" on the spine. By the way, the band got the design idea for the cover from a 1982 book by John Fante called Dreams from Bunker Hill. |

| Availability: out of print. This CD is very hard to find. You might try keeping an eye on used CD stores. Your best bet would be to check eBay regularly. Probably expect it to go in the $175 range. Luckily, you can find MP3s of both exclusive tracks without too much trouble. |
| Rilo Kiley (self-titled) 2nd pressing |
| CD released by Rilo Records, 2000 |
| 1. Frug 2. Papillon 3. Always 4. 85 5. Glendora 6. Teenage Love Song 7. Sword 8. Asshole 9. Gravity 10. [hidden track: Troubadours + The Annoying Noise of Death] |
| A reissue of the self-titled CD, with a few changes to the tracklist. "Teenage Love Song" is slightly diffrent (a keyboard solo added). The last track clocks in at 22 minutes. At about 3:12, the song "Troubadours" starts, and then when it's done there's a slow beeping (sounds like someone hitting a high note on a keyboard over and over) until 19:34 when there's an answering machine message/phone call for about a minute and a half. This is a strange conversation with Jenny asking someone named Deborah to pick her up from her house to go to some event that she doesn't really want to go to. Apparently, this is an actual message that was on Jenny's machine for a long time, probably because they thought it was pretty funny, so I guess they decided to just put it on their CD. Then it beeps for another minute at which point Blake says thank you for making it through the "annoying noise of death" and that someone named Daniel is going to give us a special treat. Daniel (I think it's Daniel Brummel from Ozma?) proceeds to strum a tune on acoustic guitar with the only lyric being "Ginger" repeated a few times. He soon stops to ask if the shirt he's wearing makes him look gay, at which point there's giggles and it ends. |
| There's a different version of this CD that used to be sold on mp3.com around the year 2000. "Rilo Kiley" and "mp3.com" is imprinted on the front of the cd by the manufacturer. Tracklist seems to be identical, however the songs are in both standard cd music format as well as MP3 format, so it can be played in a cd player or with a mp3 player. A multimedia interface appears when you play it on your computer. |
| Availability: out of print. Your best bet is eBay. Probably expect it to go in the $175 range. You could possibly get lucky and find it cheap at a used CD store. |
| The Initial Friend EP |
| CD released by Rilo Records, 2001 |
| 1. Frug 2. Papillon 3. Always 4. 85 5. Sword 6. Asshole 7. Gravity 8. Troubadours |
| Another reissue of the self-titled EP, omitting "Glendora" and
"Teenage Love Song." Apparently the band "just wasn't feeling
those songs anymore." "The Annoying Noise of Death" stuff has
been left off as well. It's worth noting here that "The Frug" and "85" were included on the soundtrack to the film Desert Blue. Both versions there are slightly different early mixes. "The Frug" was the first single for the soundtrack album, and though it was not properly released as a cd single, there was a music video made for it (available on the Desert Blue dvd) and a promo 1-track cd was sent to radio stations (picture). |

| Availability: out of print. Used to be for sale at RK's official site for $10 back in '01 and '02. Your best bet these days is eBay, where it now has been known to sell for over $150. You could possibly get lucky and find it cheap at a used cd store. |
| Take Offs And Landings |
| CD released by Barsuk Records, 2001 (bark19) |
| 1. Go Ahead 2. Science vs. Romance 3. Wires and Waves 4. Pictures of Success 5. August 6. Bulletproof 7. Plane Crash in C 8. Variations on a Theme (Science vs. Romance) 9. Small Figures in a Vast Expanse 10. Don't Deconstruct 11. Always 12. We'll Never Sleep (God Knows We'll Try) 13. Rest of my Life 14. Variations on a Theme (Plane Crash in C) 15. [hidden track: Salute MY Shorts! / Spectacular Views] |
| If you count the first "Rilo Kiley" CD as an EP,
then that makes this their first full-length. The band produced and recorded
the album themselves. It was originally self-released on Rilo Records on
January 31, 2001, then re-released on July 31, 2001 by Barsuk records of
Seattle. The two versions have some slight differences: the track "Variations
on a Theme (Science vs. Romance)" does not appear on the original release.
The Barsuk CD has the hidden track as it's own track following a minute
of silence, whereas on the early release, it's tacked onto the end of track
14 after about 10 minutes of silence. Also the cover and disc is different:
no 'airplane seats' picture in the first pressing. This version is quite
rare and sold for over $100 on eBay in November '03 (I'm not sure what
it's gone for recently). The title of the hidden track has been a big source of confusion for fans. Long story short, it used to be known as "Spectacular Views" but was later changed to "Salute MY Shorts!" after the band released another song by the title of "Spectacular Views".. The track on Execution of All Things is a totally different song. |

| Science vs. Romance |
| vinyl 7" released by Falsetto Records, 2002 (FR002) |
| A. Science vs. Romance B. About The Moon |
| Single released by a small UK label, consisting of "Science vs. Romance" from Take Offs And Landings, plus "About The Moon," a b-side that's unavailable elsewhere (It marks the first time the Watson Twins sang backup to Jenny). This 7" was available from Barsuk's website for a short time, but they quickly sold out of their stock, leaving Falsetto Records as the only official source to buy it. Falsetto, too, finally sold out of their stock in January 2004. |

| Follow-up to Take Offs released October 2002. Recorded by mainstay
Saddle Creek producer Mike Mogis at Presto! Recording Studio, The Execution
of All Things features many of Rilo Kiley’s labelmates on the album.
There's a 12th track that's nothing but a few seconds of silence. The reason for this is the hidden track ("And That's How I Choose to Remember It, pt. 3") which comes in the pre-gap after track 11. |

| Live At Fingerprints EP |
| CD on Brute/Beaute Records, 2004 |
| 1. More Adventurous 2. A Man/Me/Then Jim 3. Somebody Else's Clothes 4. Ripchord 5. The Good That Won't Come Out 6. Does He Love You |
| Live recording of an intimate, semi-acoustic Jenny/Blake in-store
performance at
Fingerprints Records in Long Beach, CA. The back CD states it was recorded on
8/19/04, but it was actually a day earlier. Also, more songs were played at
the show than are included on the CD. Released in November '04, the CD supposedly had a limited pressing.. not sure how many, but
years later, it's still easy to find. The song "Somebody Else's Clothes" had not been previously released. |

| CD on Brute/Beaute Records, 2004 |
| 1. Portions For Foxes 2. A Town Called Luckey |

| CD single (2 of 2), released in the UK on March 14, 2005. "American Wife" was almost included on More Adventerous, but was cut from the tracklist just before the album was released.
