I can't help but wonder, what with the selling off of the record collection and a 4 album releaseathon promised this year, if Julian isn't having something of an 'end of days' of moment, whether it's fueled by the Mayan thing or just a general apocalyptic reaction to how things are in 2012. The 2012 thing has manifested itself in the artworks of other albums too.

Perhaps another phase is coming to an end?
