In Which Opheliac EP's Are Given Away In My Unmentionables
Greetings, Plague Rats!
Firstly!
I am pleased to announced that all "4 o'Clock Rings" were shipped out priority mail last week, so enjoy them and send pix or suffer the conSEquences!
Now, let's chat. It's the little things that do it for me, you know? Like this morning for instance. I hadn't slept for three days, so, naturally, I went out at 7 am and bought almonds and a knife sharpener I didn't know I needed. I strolled back to the Asylum through the reinvigorating rain and gave some almonds to the plague rats. I made myself wait to open the knife sharpener because I was too excited to know if it would work or not to actually open it. Finally, I knew the time was right. I peeled the sharpener out of it's plastic packaging and tested it out on my irresistibly pink-handled butcher knife (though a carrot was the worst it had ever butchered). Five strokes against the device and my once blunting blade is as good as new. And, all of a sudden, it is a very good day.
I am passing that goodness on to you. While I would love to personally buy each and every one of you muffins a knife sharpener, what I have to offer is much more practical, mainly because I suspect Walgreens would run out of stock at some point and then what would we do? It just wouldn't be fair. No, rather, whilst doing a bit of organization of the Asylum closets, I chanced to discover 120 of those otherwise sold out and now infamous limited edition "Opheliac EP"s, yay, those that were the Traitor Records demo to the "Opheliac" album before the complete record ever came out on Trisol. Why infamous, you say? Because it was this very EP that was being sold when my offices were robbed bare a few years ago (was it that long?), thereby delaying the actual and complete album, and blocking the shipping of said EP.
Is that a Cannibal Corpse g-string I am wearing? You're god damned right it is.
Anyway.
"OPHELIAC EP"s!
I am giving these up to you (not the g-string, the CDs), these silver discs containing slightly different versions of the songs you know and hate to love, different packaging, and of course never to be re-pressed. 60 will be sold Autographed, while the other 60 will be sold still in their Shrink-wrapping. Why on earth would you want one of these? I am not at all sure. After giving it a good listen, I personally would use it for a teacup doily, or perhaps a means to spread my marmalade. I might briefly consider wearing it as a hat, but would then decide against it. I would congratulate myself for exercising such sound judgement later on in the day.
Here is the Tracklisting:
1. Opheliac
2. Swallow
3. Liar
4. The Art of Suicide
5. I Want My Innocence Back
6. Misery Loves Company
7. Bonus Track: Marry Me
Full Lyrics included in the liner notes. Naturally.
Well then, I bet you'll never guess what I'm doing tonight, but it involves a (very) high B flat and a lot of pressure.
With Love & Bloody Crumpets from the Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls,
EA
P.S.
The Plague: Get it. Feed it. Spread it. Bitches.
