A majority of these I have. The ones that I am missing fully or partially are
The Widow Witch was a 39 track long, 2 hour album released by Adrian on his old bandcamp. The cover is unfound, though it featured "Julia Dawidowicz" as a model. His old bandcamp appears to have been deleted as of 2012 according to archive.org. I tried getting in contact with people on MEPS about this but nobody had a download link. If anybody out there can find it, email info@deaddoctors.net
I found this on discogs, I have never heard either of these covers, and there is only one person I know has a copy. They won't contact me back for some reason. It was a square, completely clear lathe limited to 20 copies. There is one copy up right now, but I don't have $300 to spend on a $30 lathe cut.
This is a DVD that was included for free with some orders from the old marriage records site. No clue what video is on here, but it must be cool.
I have no clue what this is. Adrian is seen rambling about it in a 2010 era live performance. I dug through archives of the Marriage Records store, and found a weird spraypainted tape called "Cosbos Hypno - Cosmos Hypno". I'm assuming its a tape with Tom Blood and Adrian. On the Marriage site its listed as distro from "Supertapes". I could only really find 3 mentions of supertapes. One from an interview with Valet referencing it as Adrian and Tom Blood's new label, one from a radio station listing it as Marraige's "mixtape distro", and another on a random Blogspot, relating it to Rob Walmart. I reached out to Tom Blood about it, still no response.
2002 - Thanksgiving - We Could Be Each Other's Evidence - CD (2002, Vit! Vit! Records) and Cassette (2017, Self-released on Ceremoney Records)
This is adrian's first recording with a band. The band consisted of his friends Aaron Franquero, Curtis Knapp, Dan DeVriend, and Tim Harte. It was recorded in 1998/99 at the Type Foundry by Jeremy Romagna, and finally released by Vit! Vit! in 2002. I think this was their only release. The CD is now semi hard to find, and the tape is impossible to find. Only 10 cassettes were made by Adrian and a friend (possibly Knablinz) in portland before he moved to Hawaii. He did a cover of Comets back in 2018, still on his bandcamp.

2002 - Thanksgiving - Nothing - CD (2003, Marriage Records)
The second release on Adrian and Curtis' label Marriage Records. Almost only Adrian is featured here, but Curtis provides some backing. The version on Adrian's bandcamp features a cover of Rose Hips from 2017. Rob Jones from Jealous Butcher mastered it. Prior to the larger release, there was a limited edition CDr with handmade artwork of it. Stitched, screen-printed, hand-written, and including a "Fall 2002" marriage records catalog.

2004 - Thanksgiving - Welcome, Nowhere - LP and CD (2004, P.W. Elverum and Sun), 2xLP and CD Reissue (2007, P.W. Elverum and Sun)
Adrian's first record with Phil Elverum. This was recorded in between miso soups and donuts at Phil's cabin, the "NOWHERE" studio, and at the Department of Safety. In my opinion, this is as much of a Thanksgiving record as it is a Mount Eerie record, in a good way. This is a great meeting of minds, and they work well together. Anyways, this record features members of Irving, Poison Dart, Genvieve (R.I.P.), Jason Anderson, Meghan Crotty, Flint Jamison, and of course Phil. Most features are on Home Alone 2. The 2007 remaster has more tracks recorded during the sessions, plus The Ghost And The Eyes EP.

2005 - Thanksgiving - Thanksgiving - 3xLP (2005, Marriage Records and P.W. Elverum and Sun)
This 3LP was recorded in the marriage offices, sometimes in the rain, sometimes with a huge gathering of people, and sometimes alone. LP 1 is Fuck The World, LP 2 is I Am Yours, and LP 3 is Welcome Home, Human. The first and last LPs are on Marriage Records, but I Am Yours is on P.W. Elverum and Sun. The CD version and vinyl versions are somewhat different. The CD version was a poorly recorded, lo-fi vinyl rip, with some editing and compression to fit on a CD. The biggest differences between the vinyl and CD version are the quality and the 15th track, I Am Yours. On the CD it is edited down to 3:23, but on the vinyl its 11 minutes long. The remastered version was edited and mastered by me in 2021, but the original digital version is just a rip of the CD. Adrian's bandcamp listing for this has weird titles and is a rip of the CD, but with an extra track from "Dave Thanky", one of his many aliases.

2005 - Thanksgiving - The River - CD (2005, Marriage Records and Hive-Fi Recordings)
Another full band album from Adrian, this time backed by Jon Rae Fletcher & The River. "The River" is a canadian band with varying members led by Jon-Rae Fletcher. In this recording the band is Derrick Denholm, Jon-Rae Fletcher, Jordan Koop, Matt Skillings, and Thomas Shields. This was recorded in "The Hive", a Victoria BC based studio owned by Colin Stewart. Hive-Fi Recordings is his label. The bass on this album is amazing, and everything sounds so clear. Produced very well. The version on Adrian's bandcamp has some techno remixes of tracks.

2006 - Thanksgiving - Cave Days and Moments - CD (2006, Marriage Records)
Recorded in 2006, featuring nobody except Adrian himself. This departs from his previous records, in the sense that it is dark, sparse, and almost hopeless. The album feels like sitting in a cold snowed in basement, with only candles around you. The album is quiet, except for the final track We'll Die (sometimes also called "Rubaiyat 4-15"). The CD is in an all black Arigato pack, with a poster and stamped song titles on the inside. The poster is a huge 18x24 watercolor by Adrian, showing him naked and scarred falling out of a cave, with the album title above him.

4. You Will Find Me

2006 - Adrian Orange - Bitches Is Lord - CD, LP (2006, Marriage Records)
Originally titled "Sings Songs Of Freedom", this is one of Adrian's most known and loved albums. Recorded partially at Dub Narcotic, and partially at Marriage Records studio. Towards the end of its production, Adrian got frustrated and decided to say "fuck it" and change the album name to Bitches Is Lord. The album cover is hand calligraphed by Maggie Crotty, and the buffalo on the cover is a watercolor t-shirt given to Laurel Knapp. The photo on the back was taken by Phil Elverum, presumably on tour.

2007 - Adrian Orange & Her Band - Adrian Orange & Her Band - CD, LP (2007, K Records, 7 e.p.)
Recorded after a long and strenuous tour of the US and UK in 2006, featuring many varying band members, and a large amount of drugs. The band reassembled in Dub Narcotic studios, with many band members from the PNW scene. All songs were recorded live, naturally and improvised. Sadly, the reception of this album led to deeper issues with Adrian's mental health. Pitchfork didn't understand the album, and gave it a 3/10, and Adrian's drug use picked up. Adrian's bandcamp version adds IPU single tracks as bonus tracks.

2. Interdependance Dance

2007 - Adrian Orange - AJO - CDr (2007, Marriage Records)

2008 - AOK - Zone Out: The Prequel - CDr (2008, Self-Released, distributed by Marriage)
Hoo boy. This is where it starts to get less coherent. A retail blank CDr sold on tour with a folded up A4 sleeve. The sleeve is apparantly unreadable, and AOK is handwritten on the CDr. A large amount of these tracks were made with help from Adam Forkner, and at his studio. Thou$xans is featuring an unknown rapper called "Eyesdenz". Possibly Adam, or somebody else from the local scene. There are videos out there of Adrian playing the beats to these songs for people to freestyle over, so it may also be that. Many of the songs also sound like they were recorded playing out of speakers in a large room, you can hear lighter sounds, chair squeaks, and other weird mumbles. Crazy shit.
