"After a couple years of promises, LOCAL CURRENCY, a compilation of singles by Franklin Bruno, is back from the manufacturer and in hand. A bonus: everyone who orders gets a free EP of Franklin covers by Mac McCaughan, Laura Cantrell, Lou Barlow, and Jennifer O'Connor. It's really good. But wait, there's more. I don't have it yet, but the first 150 to order will also receive a free 7" of never-before-heard songs by Franklin."

I want to live inside the world of Tom Gauld's sketchbooks.
