In preparation for touring and playing many more shows I had CDs made. They aren't cased in a conventional sense, but wrapped in plastic and sandwiched between printed cardstock. As low-cost, low-impact, and eco-friendly as I could make them. Professionally printed and burned, so likely a lot nicer than the home-brewed ones I was putting out before.

lyrics

Living in the gutter, on the fair and narrow streets of Verona,
Chopping away at guitar strings, to buy a few Corona,
Best friend and his cousin, making music by his side,
Totally unaware he's going to die,

Walking down the street aside, a lovely lady fair,
From the loins of enemies, born with money there,
Walking with an older friend, that's meant to keep her safe,
She fell in love when she saw his dirty face.

Always been a curious girl, bout living on the street
She had tried the softer drugs, but never one with teeth,
On him she saw the needle mark, parts making more the sum,
Hero and heroin rolled up into one.

They spent one night together, the fevered love of youth,
The love they shared in common, heated in a spoon,
Loading up a hot shot, and sharing it that night,
Our two star-crossed lovers take their life.

I've made music with these guys before, and will likely do so again soon. They're a great group of dudes, tons of fun live, and I like this album a lot. Hoping to hear more from them soon. Frankly Lost

Sluggah
by Jonny Bear

Before I started recording music in a van, I was recording in a basement. That's where I recorded this excellent folk-punk EP for Jonny Bear. He's a great friend and a rad musician. Frankly Lost

This City Isn't Big Enough
by Apes of the State

Post-addiction introspection, the scorn of the heartbroken, and a rippin' bouncy mandolin. Get angry, be hurt, smile a lot, and definitely shout along with your stereo. It'll get stuck in your head. Frankly Lost
