In a limited edition of 50 gorgeous copies, we present a hard-back, screen-printed, fabric-covered, hand-bound version of our new album, ARIADNE THREAD (c 2007). This book has the same printed guts as the version above, but a bit of extra art by DD & PC. Plus, the CD itself is cased in a blue felt pocket bound into the book by local binder, Lea Purvis. And, it comes with a copy of our super-secret compilation. And, the burgundy bookcloth was screenprinted in gold metallic ink by our local boy, Nick Canada. And the bookboard was cut by our musical peer and carpenter, Daniel Clay. And Crystal Brooke-Handley helped bind them with gold thread. And then...you thought about buying one...and then you did.

I Bought A Heart Made Of Art In The Deep, Deep South (c 2004) was our first proper album released years ago. It was voted #1 local album by Creative Loafing and that was real sweet of them. It has 12 tracks and is packaged in 100% post-consumer waste kraft paper and printed with soy-based ink by a worker-owned press in Oregon, USA. It can be purchased at many independent record stores and online.

Our MANIPULATION BARS are made from a base of coconut, cocoa & shea butters, infused with the following medicinal/skin-healing herbs: melissa, chickweed, plantain, yellowdock & calendula. To this we add essential oils; dried herbs/flowers; candellila wax (plant derived); and grapefruit-seed extract. This ain't soap and will melt at body temperature... which is kinda the whole point. We use it to lure unsuspecting fans into our world-famous massage orgies. Keep it on a small dish by your bed, or in the fridge.

We love COFFEE. It helps us stay awake on long drives and delivers us safely from one state to state. Now, we have a coffee all our own. HOPE'S ROAST is an artisanal coffee made from beans sourced directly from Cafe Feminino, a collective of women coffee growers in Peru. It is roasted locally by our friend Ben, at 1000 Faces Coffee. We align strongly with the principals of both organizations: stewardship, sustainability, integrity, and quality.
