      Found this through Kickstarter - bought the album digitally straight away and made the commitment to getting it on wax in about two minutes. Awesome stuff.

    "GIVE ME THE WHOLE WORLD, OR I PREFER TO BE PAID IN PRECIOUS SECRETS AND BIG SHOT TREATMENT" ---- All of the above, plus permanent access to a secret, private site where you can listen to new Absofacto songs before they are released. You'll be able to hear new songs the moment they are done. And some rare unreleased stuff from the past. Demos! New tracks that don't see the light of day. This is forever (as long as nobody leaks anything from it, which I'm sure nobody would). I've been doing this for a while, but never semi-publicly; just sending the tracks directly to a few trusted folks. I'll also permanently guest list you anytime you want once I start playing shows (hopefully later this year). Plus I'll thank you in the liner notes of the artwork!
