The Imperfectionist dives straight into an Imperfect Dilemma in Episode 2 of The Imperfectionist Podcast; Contiguous or Non Contiguous?
This episode is 5 minutes of dialogue followed by a feature of the 1 hr long album "Lullabies For Big Eyes" by The Kerplunks, remixed to be sightly more contiguous than the commercially released version. "Lullabies For Big Eyes" is the first full-length album Dinah D produced solo and it presented a dilemma. With the help of 4 producer friends; Rick Salt, Corwin Fox, Marc Atkinson and Ben Mink, the album accomplishes it's goal: mellow, calm, and soothing sleep induction :)

Swirl poem (in the album artwork)
Shade Draw, Dream Flip
Rain dampened leaves
I'm getting older too
swirl in the tide
below the waves i'm clear
See the night owl fly
Drifting in flight, thought slips away
I am on pause and ready for flight
give yourself some peace of mind
the wolves are getting sleepy
close your eyes, follow your dreams
