Your other co-blogger, Lily, on the set of the first FY$1CDs (how’s that for an obnoxious acronym?) photo shoot.

Lily: Here’s how things are gonna go down ‘round here: I’m straight gonna get you arrested.

Carlyn: Lily’s a little confused. That was actually a song title on a rejected Category One album the other day.

Anyway, here’s what’s up: tumblr won’t let us upload more than one audio file per day, so we obviously won’t be doing that. Also, we don’t want to just post entire albums one track after another each day. Even we can’t handle entire albums at a time - and yes, we do listen to the music as we write about it, every song, on repeat if necessary. The sacrifices we make for you guys. (Carlyn: YOU try listening to a Conor Oberst reject CD all the way through, and then thank us.) So what we’ll do for each CD is post an “intro post” with the album art and a mini description of it, then each day post a randomized song from a $1CD that we’ve already introed. Don’t worry - we’ll tag all of them with the band and album name so they’ll be easy to find. (We’ve changed our theme enough to be sure the tags are working.) So that’s the plan. Get ready for an adventure in some cheap and awful and occasionally good music!

Also, we’re gonna straight get you arrested.
