bonus disc information:

due to the enormous amount of great music we received this year, a second full length CD will be added to the first 100 sold. as we have maxed out the time limit of one CD, and still have plenty of great music, we have decided to add this 2nd CD with 50 more minutes of new music to the first 100 CD packages for no extra charge. that’s 2 discs of more than 2 hours (over 30 tracks) of exclusive music for a mere $10. you can’t beat that with a stick.

the music on this bonus disc are all exclusive love songs and is of the same great caliber as the first disc, and if we had the budget, we would have 2 discs in all 500 packages.we would really like to thank all the bands who contributed music this year. we had over 60 artists/bands submit music this time, and it was an incredibly daunting task having to pick only 80 minutes from over 5 hours of music.
second disc track listing:
1. the trophy wives-untitled
2. chemic-ice floor
3. dice bringer-please do not use
4. second story man-who i am
5. hambone-ramblin’ man
6. tamara dearing-i’ll be alright
7. tom curtis-whiskey and blisters
8. natural geographic-we will always be here
9. iamis-a trillion blessings
10-ultra pulverize-membrane lane
