Rarities


A lot of rare recordings of mine, including many that have often been requested from out-of-print albums, in addition to my 3 songs from the Dogs vs. Cats split EP I released with Phoebe Novak that same year (including a very early version of “Cannonball Becomes the One Armed Man”).

Just a heads-up: as with some of the songs on CANNONBALL ACTION, the first 3 tracks on this compilation have some ableist language, mostly in the context of some of my own trauma as a survivor of psychiatric abuse. While sometimes people find it liberating and cathartic in this context, it can just as easily be triggering for survivors – on some days, I can’t play these songs! So check in with yourself before listening, especially to those first 3 songs.

released December 6, 2013
