Details from a 12/28/20 email from from David (via bandzoogle.com):

"Hello Friends

I am happy to announce that I have completed a new solo album "Leaving Key Member Clause." This is the second in the series of autobiographical albums I've been working on. In 2018 I released "In the Shadow of the Bull" which was largely about growing up, my family, and my friends. This album covers roughly 1989 to 1996; the transition from California to Virginia; Camper Van Beethoven to Cracker; and some other stuff.

Like many of you, I'll be happy to see 2020 in the rearview mirror, so join me at 11:15 PM EST on New Year's Eve to give 2020 a boot in the ass. Then we will listen to my new album.

This is the second in a series of albums that are autobiographical. This mostly covers the period 1989 to 1996. I do this not so much to tell my story but also tell the stories of others who have shared their lives with me. This is a limited edition of 1,000 CDs. Please do not make copies or upload them to SoundCloud, YouTube, etc. Think small. Ubiquity is overrated.
