Community is overrated, but only because everything in the world is overrated.  The sprawling, spewing morass known as The Internet takes the blame.

This compilation is a ping-pong of slow burns and quick freezes, creative enticements that celebrate imagination, effort, and courage.  The Internet takes the blame here, as well.

There's good and bad in the puerility of the sugar-shocked, and the vulgarity of the whiskey-woozy.  A self-deprecating shake of the head or the haughty crossing of arms.  There's a time and a place.  Flaws can, and do, flow. 

Feeling a little disjointed?  Don't you wish you did?

Exercise for the mind time:  Imagine a shepherd tending to his flock by day and waking to discover every single sheep dead from prussic acid poisoning.  Now imagine being the shepherd.  Now imagine being one of the sheep.  Having some difficulties?  Listen to these songs and then try again, going as you wish from role to role.  The point is not exactly what you feel as either sheep or shepherd, but that you are feeling in the first place.  (The tidiest scenario I concocted was that involving myself as the shepherd overjoyed that they will no longer have to watch over dirty wool and anticipating the day I no longer suffer the auditory hallucinations brought on by their incessant baas.)

On or off the computer, the world is a cherry-picking pit with passion, intelligence and talent practically starving due to neglect.  This album is a multi-course meal served out of order, but oh well, it's a goddamn sensory assault, it tastes good at best, interesting at worst, and everyone involved--from preparation to consumption--can be said to have lived just a little bit extra.
