On November 3rd 2009, Asthmatic Kitty Records will release Half-handed Cloud's Cut Me Down & Count My Rings. It's a portable library of 46 songs from previously-released EP's, vinyl record singles, CD-R's, compilation appearances, original versions, download-only tracks, unreleased tunes, a cassingle, and a trio of Christmas songs from the past nine years. Many of these songs are making their very first appearance on compact disc, and none of them are on Half-handed Cloud's four full-length albums.
The Cut Me Down CD includes packaging and a poster with paintings by Ringhofer himself (cover is pictured above), and a descriptive writeup on the background of each original release, perfect for those nights when the conversation turns to HHC trivia.
