he’s releasing it all on cassette tape (because…. well I don’t know why).  Lucky for me, though, he let me design the liner notes to go inside the case with all the cassettes.  Here’s what I came up with:</p> <p>This one’s like a road map where each side of the tape is a different highway through the land of the album- and the capitol city is the band name.</p> <p><a title="Road Map"

the same idea, but a subway map instead with each train line representing a side of the cassette and each of the stops is a different song.</p> <p><a title="Subway Map" target="_blank"
