UPhold Update: The Final Stretch

The new UPhold CD -- "Damage" -- is finally ready. Well, the CD itself is...but the rest of the package still needs some work. Here's my to-do list, because apparently these sorts of things are helpful:

• Change the print cartridges in my shabby-but-sweet printer.
• Put together the CD packaging...simple this time, just a folded-over insert. And yes, that's the cover you're looking at up there.
• Burn 34 copies of the CD. It's a limited edition, for several different reasons that are too dull to go into here.
• Figure out how to use this "label-maker" kit I just bought, so the CDs at least have SOMEWHAT nice labels on them. I'm tired of sending them out covered with marker-scrawls.
• Print the covers and labels for those 34 CDs I mentioned earlier (remember?)
  
• Update the UPhold page so it actually looks useful.
• Test PayPal to make sure I can send out money requests with it.
• Update the myspace page I've been working on. Yes, myspace. Brrrrr.
  
• Send free CDs to whoever it seems good to send them to.

For those who have been following the MP3 posts for the last few years, here are the songs on the CD, many of them slightly different from what was posted online:

1. His Damage (4:59)
   
2. The Demeaning Power of Tequila (5:06)
   
3. Pillbox (4:26)
   
4. Planque (Now, Then, and After) (10:23)
   
5. Icebox (6:08)
   
6. Bethsheba (7:21)
   
7. The Burning Villa (Those, That, and Them) (7:06)
   
8. Shoebox / His Damage (5:09)
   

I have my fingers crossed that all the kinks will be easily worked out, all the hurdles easily hurdled, and that I can start selling the CDs on January 1st.

Then what? A little single called "The Road to Avondale," coming soon...
