Listening right now, can't wait for the physical album to become available. FYI it hasn't yet shown up in iTunes.

Three words describe me right now:
"Hyperventilating with Happiness."
George and Donna,
Thank you. This. Is. Awesome.

Great Album Geo! I really enjoyed it.
Have you considered doing a deluxe version on iTunes with a PDF of the 20 page booklet? I don't know if it's possible for independent artists yet, but I'd pay extra for something like that.
I'm trying to keep away from physical media (no more room!!) and it would be great way to get the extras.
Perhaps you could sell a PDF on your site...
Thanks again.

I enjoyed the album. When I Was Your Age is going in my "daughter playlist" for car trips.

Awesome Awesome Awesome!
Looks like CDBaby only has the download at the moment. But as soon as the physical CD is available I'm getting it and the 4 other George CD's I don't have.
Wait, did I just hear "Heart of the sunrise" in the middle of Happy Birthday Baby? Coolness.

Only got to listen to this once via a coworker's iPod (long story - my computer's an old POS, no audio/visual): out of the songs I hadn't heard before - "Death from the Skies", a riot! Loved this! "Atlanta", oh my, you made my heart quake; your voice was perfect, there was a moment where your voice faded into horn (sorry, I have no idea how to get across what I mean in "musical language") that was stunning; just lovely. Looking forward to the physical CD and getting to know these songs better.

The hook from "Death From the Skies" got stuck in my head as I tried to get some sleep last night.
"These are the ways the world will end
These are the ways the world will end
These ARE The way-yays!"
Dangerously catchy.
@Josh R.
There's an alternate version of "When I was Your Age" which was arranged by Beatnik Turtle." It's busier than the arrangement on "Trebuchet" and has an extra verse.

For some reason, "Sviatoslav Lobster" is currently my favorite. I keep thinking I oughta prefer "God is Not Great", especially with that astonishing intro, or "Small Comfort", 'cause, well...it's "Small Comfort" fer cryin' out loud! But...nope. Red plastic crustaceans float my boat, apparently.
It's backordered now.

Damn! I wasn't fast enough. Oh well, backorder it is....

John,
I know what you mean! He is referenced on Jamie Farr's Wikipedia page, and a couple other places, but not his own. Wikipedia feels he's not quite famous enough.
Fuckers.
ReCaptcha "gyrate came." What is 'Marvin's reaction to Trebuchet', Alex?"

downloaded the album off CDBaby on the 16th... haven't commented before now because I've been too busy listening to it on repeat.
I'm loathe to pin down just one favourite but... well.... it's between Fifty Stories, Atlanta, and Death from the Skies.
(I must have heard DftS a few dozen times now, and the Phil Plait contribution still, *still* makes me happy inside. Which is really weird, considering the subject matter. Er.)
Whoa, longest comment ever. Anyway. I adore the album. Thank you George (SO MUCH). Thank you Donna. You guys are seriously the most awesome people on the planet.

I have Fifty Stories stuck in my head now - I'm only worried that it's "stickyness" will eventually degrade my love for it. Though Everything Alive Will Die Someday is definately my favorite. Can we get George on the next America's Got Talent? I'd totally pay to see him in Vegas.
