  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    I prefer alternate forms of CD packaging, but I had to make this version to be able to submit the album to radio stations, so if clear plastic is your thing, then you're in luck!! Random triggering images will be included in the inner tray and jacket.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Pit Sounds, Vol. I [2013 Remaster] via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The minimal packaging required to keep your soon-to-be-obsolete Compact Disc safe.

    Worth noting that when I burn, I burn ONLY with Taiyo-Yuden CD-R media, which sandwiches the sensitive, reflective silver layer of the disc between two protective layers of clear plastic. Perhaps you've never had the problem I began to notice all too frequently with my commercially bought CD's: if I happened to scrape off any of the label printed on the top of the disc, I could see that "hole" from the bottom! That would cause playback errors when the laser failed to reflect, and enough holes could prevent a disc from playing at all. This would happen because commercial CD's are produced via the cheapest method possible, with the reflective silver layer painted on top of the disc, protected only by whatever artwork was printed on top of that.

    So, just saying, with these, you won't ever have this problem (that you probably just learned existed). These CD's are built to last.

lyrics

Allowance


don't be embarrassed by the sight of my scars
you see they wash off in the shower
just let me know how much you want it my son
and i can save you from the torment to come

but it's important to remember to imagine
that your chromosomes are consciously in charge of you
and they don't give a fuck
about the plans you made while daydreaming in second grade
they've put you on the stage and now

they won't allow you
they won't allow you down

you can't get over being cryptic my son
and i can't work without specifics on this one
flames of history or ice cream and infamy
just give me something to go down in
or on

it's important to remember to imagine
that your mother is at home and waiting up for you
when this is over
how will you explain the size and color of the stain you made
while managing to not look proud

she won't allow you
she won't allow you down

it's important to remember to imagine
that your lover is asleep and half on top of you
under the covers
now you take a respite from the building of your pedestal
and put me up to test it out

you won't allow me
you won't allow me down

stare your money in the face
this whole world is wasting for you my son
for you my son
