This is it, friends. Final round. For those of you that don't know, this is the album called The New Year, originally released by Magic Marker Records on CD in 2002. That album occupies all of Side A of this LP. Side B is SIX UNRELEASED SECRET SURPRISE SONGS, which appear nowhere else except for on this vinyl.

Hey Katy, I just got your album, We'll Have A Time, and I wanted to tell you that it's amazing. My favorite song is probably You Looked Like A Portrait. Anyway, thanks for making such great music. If you have the time, it would be awesome if you could critique my songs for me.
