Hey kids, huge news!  I'm talking about the official release of the H.O.M.E. Compilation CD, and if you haven't been keeping up, there's an exciting show tonight (Oct 23rd) @ Common Grounds to commemorate the release.  Seeing as though I tend to rant and follow tangents in a manner that gets cats stuck in dryers (and I'm currently struggling to make this metaphor work), I'll just copy-and-paste what Craig wrote in our newsletter below which details the specifics of the release.  Speaking of which, please sign up on our mailing list on this page.  Believe me, once I get settled in my new apartment here in Houston, TX (i.e., finishing up the soundproofing in my closet), I won't be as lazy.

Onward.

It's a great cause, it's a great comp, it's a CHEAP comp ($8 - $10).  Everybody wins.

We will let you know more about this CD's availability in due time.

Something I wanted to mention, the CD contains our first ever, professional-sounding version of a Murphee K song.  Thank you Signal Path for all of your hard work in putting all of this together and for putting up with all of us.
