**************************
Tapers notes: There are 3 tracks that are Dessa reading poems from her books, I have made them separate tracks in case anyone would rather listen to just the music. The third one she read ("How to Stage Dive") was performed in the crowd without a mic (about 10 rows from me), so I raised the volume considerably during that time and it created a bit of hiss, but there was really no other way to make it listenable.
