Casiotone for the Painfully Alone (CFTPA) was the beats-and-keys solo project of singer, songwriter and Chicago resident, Owen Ashworth. Drawing heavy influence from traditional Americana as well as 80's synth pop and commercial hip hop, the music of CFTPA is a curious mix of austere character studies and playful electronic programming.
Owen Ashworth started to make music on a small casio keyboard back in 1997. His first two albums, "Answering Machine Music" and "Pocket Symphonies for Lonely Subway Cars

CASIOTONE FOR THE PAINFULLY ALONE [Love Connection]
probably not completely correct, but it seems to work tabbed by Amanda Barker [email protected]
A Chapped lips, tounge kissed D insert expletive
fluids of a summer night, A with slight duress D forced imperatives
find me quoting Pennington. AD a delicate blend of sweat and menstrual blood
seeping into trampled grass.
AD So take my lip between your teeth AD and taste me by devouring, AD and I'll start watching my weight again. AD Oh, oh, oh.
AD Woke up at dawn, face down on the lawn
head awash with what had been AD rest cheek to cheek, fingers underneath
soft impressions of your teeth AD some hours lost, and at such a cost
stains and scars I can't explain.
AD So take my lip between your teeth, AD and taste me by devouring. AD and I'll start watching my weight again. ADA Oh, oh, oh, oh.
ADA Some things are best left unsaid. ADA Some things are best left unsaid. ADA Some things are best left unsaid. ADA Some things are best left unsaid. ADA Some things are best left unsaid.
