50 limited-run lathe cuts of “Don’t Change Color, Kitty” are available. They ran out fast last time, so if you want one get it here.<\/a> Details below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My friends at Bar\/None<\/a> and dreamsOfField<\/a> and I produced another limited run of fifty 33.3-RPM lathe cuts for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month’s offering is a weather-resistant, EMP-proof polycarbonate plate containing mono audio of my 2014 contribution to a 99 Percent Invisible episode<\/a> on nuclear semiotics, “10,000-Year Earworm to Discourage Settlement Near Nuclear Waste Repositories (Don’t Change Color, Kitty.)”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each copy includes individually paw-printed art featuring the face of one of our family cats in the center of a radiation trefoil. (Her name is Trisha, she is a very proper lady, and I am happy to report that her eyes remain normal-colored and therefore that our current home is not located near a nuclear waste storage facility.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with all of these dub plate releases, I personally lathed each copy, signed each label, stamped and hand-numbered each jacket, and paw-printed each jacket back. We will not reprint this edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purchase it here for shipping next week: http:\/\/www.bar-none.com\/store\/kitty<\/a>
