Each record is painted on one side and plays two NSPS holiday classics on the other side: "Santa Hat" featuring Deni Bonet and "Shouldn't Start on Christmas.
The price is high because each disk was separately recorded via lathe, so each has a unique recording and paint job. (Don't worry — we won't actually make any money! ;-) ) Note that these lathe-cuts are not high-fidelity, but scratchy, mono recordings. That's all part of the fun.

Originally appeared on the album "The Carnival Could Go No Further."
lyrics
Janean shaves the ice and she offers you a snow cone
That is made from all the syrups, but it’s not a suicide
And the sun shines upon her, then the storm clouds push and split it
But it really doesn’t matter, ’cause it’s still there when it hides
And everyone complains about the hot summer weather
And everyone whines often when it’s cold
Janean warms the milk and she offers you hot chocolate
That is really some strange mocha, but you drink it anyway
And the snow falls upon her, but she’s got a nice warm hat on
So it weighs down all the branches as it brightens up the day
And everyone rejoices for the warm, summer weather
And everyone plays outside in the snow
And everyone complains and then rejoices for the weather
And for some reason it never quite gets old

Written by Jeremy Mathews. Performed by Mathews, John Howa, Sarah Morton, Steve Taggart.
Withered Hand is quieter and more straight-forward than NSPS, but shares a certain outlook. Dan Willson is one of the best songwriters around—he can make you smile and tear up in the same rhyme. NSPS
In addition to making me feel better by taking (almost?) as long as NSPS to finish a new album, swo17 washes over you with rich sonic textures. Become one with the music. NSPS
