    Lovely gatefold card case with CD of A Small Death. with option for signed by the artist or not.

    *A NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS*
    I get a lot of emails about the pricey shipping costs so I just want to address it here. I'm not scamming you. These are the actual costs of the US postal service priority mail right now. Especially shipping outside of the USA, the costs are very high, I know. I wish I could do something about it to make this more accessible but I can't. I only send priority mail now instead of a cheaper media mail because I've had so many issues in the past with things getting lost or destroyed if I don't send priority mail and then I end up having to reimburse the cost of the record as well as the shipping and I've lost a lot of money that way so this is really the only option for me shipping right now unfortunately. Just know that all the shipping costs are going towards actual postage, I'm not pocketing any money beyond the cost of the item. I understand if you can't stomach the shipping cost, I don't blame you....love you anyways :)

about

There is this thing that happens when something embarrassing or shameful I’ve done or said pops into my head-- I just start humming or making some nonsensical melodic noise to sort of get the whole event out of my mind. I feel like through this whole process of my “small death” (what I’m referring to as my breakdown and the extending recovery time after that), this sort of thing happens less and less, mainly because I’m learning how to be kinder to myself, how to be more vulnerable, how to not let those feelings of shame seep in and ruin my present. Life is just practice and so I’m learning and living and practicing these little things. I feel as if I’ve been given a bonus round, so everything from now on is just an extra gift, which makes things so much sweeter.

lyrics

I’ve gotten over the shame in little bits. Fewer moments where I start humming out loud to drown out the replayed uncomfortable past, as if to change the subject, as if to change the way it all went down, as if to dance the thought right out.

I think I’ve told the story a little different, become the great mother of invention. I wanted people to read me as measured and wise, as if to change the record, as if to change the way it all went down, as if to dance the thought right out.

Oh yeah, it’s possible to run out of space. For lies and pride to overflow the tank. You can open up or keep it secret if you want, as if to spurn the weakness, as if to change the way it all went down, as if to dance the thought right out.
