  USB Flash Drive + Digital Album

  You get a 4GB USB drive in the shape of a credit card, with the cover and back art printed on it. It contains the album artwork and two versions of the tracks: one in ultra-high 24-bit WAV lossless quality for the audiophile, and one in high-quality standard MP3 files perfect for moving around in your collection, on your phone, etc. Put it on display at home or carry it around as extra storage - and show off your awesome taste! (it fits in a wallet)
  
  The first 38 copies shipped with a lock of my hair. They are all gone now. The rationale is posted below for archival purposes.
  A lock of hair? Why?
  Hair is a symbol. In the metal music world, it attests for authenticity, as sociologists have written; in mythology, it stands in for might or vitality (check out the Wikipedia page for "lock of hair"). For me, it symbolizes a few things. This is a rite of passage; you can never have a second first album. It symbolizes the time I have spent working on this album; when I started experimenting with chip sounds, I had shaved my head in support of my best friend's wife who had cancer. My hair is a literal measure of the time spent working on this. It is finally a memento mori, a reminder that our time is counted and that inevitably, we will die. Making the most of our time is a need (the death drive or thanatos) and this album exists because of that. More intimately, in all likelihood I will be going progressively bald a few years from now. I am giving you a piece of me, just like the time and energy I have invested into making the music. The music comes from a body that lives and ages, and by buying the album, we share an experience.
  "Eww, that is gross / creepy / freaky / narcissistic! I don't want this, I just want the USB drive!"
  Like all symbols, it only holds the meaning we give it. Feel free to write a note when ordering saying you don't want it. Or throw it in the compost or backyard, and let nature claim it.

  Nothing beats a good CD as a collector's item? No worries, get your disc here. Not only is the disc compact, the packaging also is. The cardboard cover is folded like a postcard or greeting card. It features Nate Horsfall's wicked artwork on the front, and the tracklist on the back. The interior is white. Everything holds in place when you keep the disc and cover in its durable quality plastic sleeve. It is shipped in bubble wrap to make sure nothing happens to it.
