  Catnip Dynamite is the second solo album by Jellyfish co-founder Roger Joseph Manning, Jr., released in Japan on March 19, 2008. Catnip Dynamite was released outside Japan by Oglio Records on February 3, 2009.
  
  The music on this album contains some of Manning's song ideas that go back as far as 1985. Manning has described the album as "another roller coaster ride of sonic and emotional ups and downs and distraction in the greatest sense of the word."
