    Pressed on ultra clear vinyl and housed in a classic "tip-on" style jacket with poly-lined inner sleeves, these LPs are ready to hit the factory floor for 8 hours.

    All LPs are shipped Media Mail — prices reflect the ever-increasing creep of inflation as well as the cost of the ultra-sturdy oversized mailer necessitated by the tip-on jackets. Nevertheless, I'm still taking ~$1 hit on every order because I can't bring myself to charge more than $7 for domestic shipping. I'm a one-man operation and your order comes direct from me. Your patience, tolerance, and support are much appreciated!

lyrics

Poor Wanda the hen
Not the first in line but far from the end
Doesn't stand out as much as she blends in
Wanda the hen

She's got filtered water and organic feed
The basic level on the Hierarchy of Needs
Now we'll see if she'll borrow and beg
Or lay us an egg

But who took the wire and stuck it to the wall?
And who put Wanda in the middle of it all?
That's the part that gets stuck in her craw, is:
What does it all mean for poor Wanda?

Winter Arthur is a kinder version of himself
And I think it suits him well
There's no explanation as to why — when the temperature is high —
He just gets meaner

Who could ever be like that?
Out with reason, only reacts
It's no wonder I keep feeding that cat
Arthur speaks to me

Wanda and Arthur
Two sides of a coin
One seeks to buy, one to purloin
Arthur and Wanda
Neither knows shame
Pity the players, don't hate the game

In 2020 Wanda stood up for herself
Gained a couple pounds and made the rounds in ten seconds flat
First out the door in the morning, yes she is

Later that year, Arthur kept us from tears
He knows habits have a way of weeding in
First at my feet in the morning
