Notes

"This album is dedicated to all good folks that sent me letters and never got a single response, like those that wrote me to say "don't die" and those that wanted to know who is Danny Carlisle, Steve Willoughby and Bill Lowery and those that wanted to know if Tina was my sister or if we just had the same last name, and those that wanted to know what "booted up" meant and those that could never find my old albums...

Some of the album may be a bit obsessed with the premise that through death, life is nourished."
