    Only 100 of these were printed, most of which were given as gifts to the featured artists or were mailed to radio stations. It is highly unlikely that any more physical copies will ever be made. I only have 10 to sell. CD Baby, at the time of writing this, has 5.

    This CD is in an ecologically-thoughtful eco-wallet sans cellophane and features downright gorgeous art by Sam Cooper of SWC Design. It will be shipped via Media Mail in a compostable mailer.

about

for Jonathan Lethem

lyrics

it was the take a penny leave a penny romance of the year
your string cheese kinda sexy pulled apart and made it clear
that like an obese baby folks should give you a wide berth
I whispered twisted acts into your back until you gave the word

our rusty fingertips were checkers at a casting call for Chess
your catchphrase was a killer and you sentenced it to death
the TV shouted German cinematic ill-repute
I learned that blindfolds are a dollar if you’re willing to buy two

and now you’re sitting there
in your dirty yellow chair
laughing as my face disappears

after several weeks my knees were sanded to a sheen
you never kissed me after despite all the Listerine
and when you said I’m ready draw and quarter me to bed
I looked a gift horse in the mouth and saw the armies in your head

you resembled execution like a falling cigarette
I stared at your decision turned the green into a red
retreated to your kitchen made myself a plate of crow
left your studio apartment wondering who you might know

and now you’re sitting there
in your dirty yellow chair
laughing as my face disappears
yeah you’re sitting there
in your dirty yellow chair
laughing as my face disappears
