Painfully Midwestern Records is a non-profit record label from Columbia, Missouri founded in 2005 by Jason Cafer, a DJ on KCOU, the college radio station at University of Missouri [1] The label has released three compilations of bands from Mid-Missouri spanning over 80 artists almost all from Columbia, including several bands from the Emergency Umbrella and Cat Jams record labels. Music styles of the contributed songs range from indie rock, alternative, hardcore, metal, punk, alternative country, electronica, garage rock and experimental.

Das Kompilation (2007)

Das Kompilation was a single disc compilation of new Missouri music designed by Chase Thompson,[6] taking the persona of Ian Cogneato, a character on Columbia public-access television cable TV and producer of music videos including Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. Thompson chose the included tracks and described the disc as "a party album featuring some of Columbia Missouri's most entertaining bands. This is an upbeat album made for foot tappin', head bobbin' and ass clappin', although some tracks such as those by Ellie Come Home and Duck Gurl and Chicken Boy are soft and mellow. The acclaimed "A Toast of the Month of July" was re-recorded and produced by Wil Reeves the week before Das Kompilation went to press.
