so pretty much everyone who cares about this has already seen it, but I received a really cool cd in the mail the other day.
I ordered an EP by Yndi Halda (a GYBE/Explosions in the Sky style instrumental rock band) from the UK about a month ago. Part of the reason why I bothered to order this CD that I had already downloaded was because I was promised handmade packaging. And boy was I glad that I did. A pic of the packaging:
The front:
The idea that some dude sat at a sewing machine in England making this special for me, is really cool.
Other cool things of recent:
the actual music on the Yndi Halda CD, new Avett Bros CD, Elefant, New York Doll, Capote, and getting to know Erin Gillespie. All good things.
