If anyone who knows me in person wants to buy one right away, I guess $10 is a good amount. (On CDBaby they'll be like $12 or something but then they take a $4 cut.) Let me know in advance if we're going to be in the same spot and you want a copy.

• They have the slightly "flimsy" feel that's common to short-run CDs. A lot of that is because the artwork was obviously printed on an inkjet. Of course, that's unavoidable with the sorts of quantities I'm dealing with right now.
• Discmakers needs to calibrate the color profile on their printer. The yellows came out slightly greenish. Considering I am positive the colors I sent were just Y+K, and yellow is the easiest thing for a CMYK printer to reproduce, either their K is crappy (possible), their color separation process is crappy (also possible), or they completely ignored the ICC profile embedded in the image (also quite possible)
• There's so many little bits I'd like to go back and fix in my vocals. But if I'd kept on polishing it any further I'd have gone totally nuts. Anyway, most people don't have perfect pitch and aren't Simon Cowell so I guess it's probably okay.
• Two very slight mistakes on the tray card: The time for "In the Desert" is 1 second off vs. what iTunes import shows (I'm surprised that's the only time error), and I accidentally capitalized "with" in "Rhymes with Lucia." I hope you will forgive me. (They will definitely be fixed in the next printing, which also needs to go with a different UPC anyway. Also, the next run will be via TuneCore so I can see how they do by comparison. Not that I'm expecting to sell out of the first run right away or anything.)
• Damn, I love this album, and I am glad I finally got it done.
