First albums are weird. Writing songs is hard. I want people to kiss me and I want other people to want to kiss me too. All these topics and more are probably discussed in my first album, Wrapped Up! Originally planned to have 17 (wow!) songs, most of them didn't fit the recording method I wanted to use for this album. Eventually I chiseled it down to these handful of songs that were hastily recorded on the day before the album was released by a man who is still sick from a convention he went to a week before. Sometimes the audio messes up but let's just say that's part of my music so I have an excuse not to re-record it! But regardless, it's here, I'm queer, get used to shit!

I wanted to write a bunch of really small, fast moving songs where I say what I want to say and then move on to the next song. There's a lotta songs out there that could be, like, half as long if the band didn't wanna waste your time with the same shit for an extra 3 minutes. Don't get me wrong I like that stuff, it's just not the mindset I was in when I wrote these songs.

These songs are not about you. Even if it sounds like something we did or planned or doing or could be something we would do, none of these songs are about you. Some may be influenced by you, in which case I apologize for using your likeness without asking but hey at least I'm not South Park (zing! whammie! boom! take that, south park! eat my ass!). The songs in this album are written from multiple perspectives of multiple people, or maybe a singular perspective from multiple people or multiple perspectives from a singular person. It's up for you to decide!

You can pay to buy this album, but I strongly strongly really highly please-do-this-instead recommend that you spend any money you planned on giving me to a charity, or use it for an act of kindness or something. I'm a firm believer in "do whatever the fuck you wanna do" however, so the option to pay for it is still there. But seriously, we're all fiscally fucked but I am hardly in the right to be asking for any money for this project.

If any of these songs sound sad or too stuck-in-the-past, that's life dude! You think bout shit from forever ago and you can't stop thinking about it and it fucks you up for a bit but you move on. You ever wake up one day and think "oh boy this day will suck"? That feeling, the random wave of emotion that sticks with you for a bit longer than you hoped it would, was present when writing most of these songs, so this is some weird way of fossilizing those expired feelings. But shit dude I still make happy songs and life is still rad! Don't be bummed forever

If you're upset about the audio quality of this album, I feel ya! I'll probably rerecord this when I feel better and my voice is back. Wrapped Up 2: Redux Collector's Edition. Mark your calendars (again).
