“Welcome away from Volume Two of our SUMMERTIME WATERMELON festival of DOWNLOAD MANIA!! Limited edition and first-come, first served (shoes and shirt optional)… Nothing to trade, nothing to sell, in fact it’s all a big PRETEND RECORD!! You can’t watch it spin, you can’t hand number it, you can’t auction it. “Well, heck, what CAN you do with it?” You may LISTEN to it. With your ear bones!”
