Album extras

My favorite part of owning CDs is being able to read through the included booklets, especially if there's extra material like commentary from the band included. Since most of the actual production information + lyrics are already well-documented online, I'm just going to be transcribing extra pieces of interest here.

I know that there's another website that fills this niche, but consider these more tailored to my interests.
