It looks like with the official physical release came a fancy insert or fold out with lyrics and an explanation though I haven't found a lyrics type up anywhere online. It's hard to tell if the illegible squiggles on the image match up with the quote on Get Off The Internet:
"EXPLANATION: “From March 30th to April 4th 2009, at the invitation of Matthew Stadler and his Publication Studio organization, I lived in the so called “White Stag Building” in the middle of Portland, Oregon. The building sat on the old mud where Portland began, pretty much, and currently belonged to the University of Oregon and had a long history of various occupants. I wandered the building at night with recording equipment after students had left and ruminated on the site, specifically what the spot might have been like before the building was even there. The result is this 10 “song” CD of sloppy 4 track recordings with the presence of the building clearly audible. Sorry to say, it’s limited edition. We’ll probably eventually release it “officially” (on vinyl) but that might be a while. For now here is a short CD folded up in a complex way inside a poster with words and imagined historical scenery.” – Phil Elverum, May 4th 2009"
Is that correct? Anyone know where to find lyrics for the tracks? I'm also kind of curious what comes with the digital downloads (if anything) linked on the label site? If some type of lyrics or high quality album art is part of it or if it's just a standard iTunes 600x600 (or whatever it is)?
