{patron-only} you voted, now...save these cds from a landfill! (Patreon)

{patron-only post}

hello loves!!!

**quick news update if you're in wellington...it looks like the 3 shows next week are going to be postponed due to COVID, levels, and uncertainty. we will make an official announcement next week, but you're patrons and i'm heads-ing you up, because, ugh. we'll keep at it. rest of aotearoa NZ, stay tuned**

.........

OKAY!!! here we go....

according to the poll, OVER TWO THOUSAND OF YOU are game to liberate these CDs from their dank storage boxes on a palate in a warehouse somewhere and SAVE THEM FROM A LANDFILL!!!!!!

if you voted, don't fail me!!!! I HAVE A WAGER GOING WITH ALEX WHO HAS NO FAITH IN THE VOTING SYSTEM. i will not tell you what we bet that you would actually follow through, but i need to win this bet or i will cry.

and the EARTH WILL CRY.

we have about 8,000 CDs, total, to try to liberate....so please, ORDER MORE THAN ONE!! 

the shipping probably won't cost you that much more to grab a little pile.

if you're a bookstore, music store, coffee shop that still sells/uses CDs, etc.....GO FOR IT! you can re-sell these. we don't mind. we just don't want them in the ground. 

like i said in the original post, you don't even have to have a CD player. these packages have enough art in them that you could even consider this a very small POSTER PACKAGE. you can use the CDs for gifts, postcards, coasters, christmas decorations, rearview-mirror ornaments, frisbees....anything. 

get creative, goddamit, you're my patrons.

let's just not see them wind up in a landfill!

here are some more pictures of the beautiful SIX PANEL digipack, some taken by team afp's resident merchqueen alex, some taken by yours truly, to demonstrate what the packaging art looks like....

because we are trying to save this poor earth....no plastic was used except the discs themselves!

the silhouette artwork inside this cd was made by artist and long time friend cynthia von buhler....it's just gorgeous.

i love this packaging a lot, it's one of my faves of all time.

making it especially to think of these winding up in the dump.

.....

ON TO THE NEXT....

THEATRE IS EVIL (the digipack has a slip case/cover  - to the left):

this was my very loud, very proud, full-band & orchestra and new-wave-tastic kickstarter-funded 2012 album "Theatre Is Evil". 

i am still SO FUCKING PROUD OF THIS RECORD. it took me over 4-5 years to write and record.

it has one solo piano song: the bed song. the rest is full-blast ear candy of large loud sadness.

you can test it out here on bandcamp:
