Feels Like Breakin' Shit, or Self...Feels Like Breakin' Shit, is the third studio album by alternative pop/rock band Self, which was released for free via the internet.
Its 17 previously unreleased tracks include covers of Prince's "Let's Pretend We're Married", Suzanne Vega's "Fat Man and Dancing Girl", and Tommy Roe's "Dizzy". "Moronic" parodies Alanis Morissette's "Ironic," and "Titanic" parodies the Pixies' "Gigantic."
The album was composed of leftover songs from Self's previous two albums, Subliminal Plastic Motives and The Half-Baked Serenade, and was originally given to friends and family members of the band. Matt has said in interviews that he made many of these songs as a joke and never intended to release them, but when a record executive heard the songs he deemed it worthy of an internet release. There were two versions of the album: one released on the Spongebath Records website and one on the DreamWorks Records website. The DreamWorks version included "Overpopulation" as the 9th track, with "Moronic" appearing on the Spongebath version. Fans were encouraged to make their own artwork for the album, as there was no artwork included with the original digital files, so several different versions of the cover exist online.
