a few days ago i got the special edition of the new twink album toy box in the mail. the special edition comes in a small cardboard box, with a small comic book, and instead of a single cd there are three individual small cds in their own separate cardboard sleeves. i really loved the first twink release, but this one may even be better. twink is working with quite a few different people on this release among them playsoundz who have an excellent series of lo-fi electronic releases that i highly reccomend. my favourite track on the new twink release is not enough crayons for everyone from the welcome to the jingle disc. this disc also contains a metallica cover, which is interesting but not a favourite of mine.

the one drawback for this release was that the postage was 6 bucks to taiwan, when the cost of sending was a little over 3 bucks. i somehow doubt the envelope and bubblewrap really added up to 3 bucks. but most companies tend to overcharge for postage independant or not.
