All of my TEXT RECords compiled into one easy to navigate album. :]


I put them in the following order:

Short Stories - starting with "The Horrifically Mundane Life of Sarah Cohn" and ending with "Journey into Magick pt II"

Poetry - starting with "Journey Into Magick" (fits both short story and poetry), and ending with "Go on burning(dAN)"

Prose-Poetry - starting with "February, 2008" and ending with "Sainthood & Mythology"

Miscellaneous - starting with "No Title as Yet Continuation" and ending with "On the Importance of Organs"

and then Tiny Stories.

:]
