Another poorly-cropped photo of the boys in decembers architects

BEHOLD! This bad photo of this amazing and criminally underrated & mysterious band!

Their album, which nobody has heard, might be one of my favorite albums of all time, but when I released their CD back in 2005, they tested even MY esoteric sensibilities from back then, when I wanted everything to be as difficult as possible. They wanted to be more difficult.

This photo, cropped like shit without even Mark's whole head in it, is proof positive of this weird stubbornness, which I will eternally have a soft spot for. See also: strict lowercase for everything, including the band name, and even the name of their album, which is...wait for it:

", apiary ennui and curiosas. The brew shakes"

It starts with a comma. The title starts with a comma! For what? Who knows? But still, I love them as humans and as a band, and I hope that someday I can give this thing a proper release.

HOWEVER, this is not where you will find a proper release of this album. You were sent here for other reasons, directly guided by the Benevolent Hand of Landland.

AND IF NOT SENT HERE BY OUR HAND...if you happened here by chance, you're not part of the reasons, and please turn back now...this isn't one of those things we do sometimes.

You probably don't believe that, but this time it's very true...god, I can't even end this sentence in an ominous ellipsis because that's gonna LOOK LIKE A SIGN.

Honestly, the only people who should grab "whatever this is," have been sent here directly by us...this isn't the final boss in the search for the holy grail (unless it is)—it's just a way to keep our housekeeping over here nice and boring.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS: You and I have already talked. Select the price option that we talked about for the thing that we've already talked about, and then check out the same way you would with anything else. Add stuff to your order if you want—no pressure—whatever you want to do. If you want to be super thorough, use the "additional notes" section of the order to tell us what the payment is for, but—because we've already talked—rest assured that we already know.

PLEASE NOTE: We're serious about people being here on purpose. Names on orders here will be matched with names on a list that the knowing know of, and the unknowing shan't lay claim to. Names not found in both places will face our tiny wrath.*

(*...and here's where you weirdos will be like, "oooh...I bet this 'Tiny Wrath' is something SUPER AWESOME...I should grab a tiny wrath just to be weird," but I can't state it enough...this isn't that type of thing...not this time. It's really just a place for us to be able to keep track of the off-store stuff that happens sometimes, because the era of having no reliable system for that needs to end. That said, if you think we might have a copy of something that isn't in the store and you really feel like you want to be put through this whole gauntlet of idiocy over here, feel free to reach out...)
