I usually avoid being the news, but this is one exception.

I gave out copies of a new CD at my vigil for Pelican at Valor XXXVII. This CD is a compilation of material including studio recordings, live recordings, and recovered tapes.

Below are two links. The first is the set list for those who received copies of the CD directly. The second is a link to The CalonSound Project article that includes the same list, as well as a downloadable disk image of the CD itself. Enjoy!
