    This is a physical CD. This physical CD comes in a lovely six panel wallet and glossy finish. (There is no cellophane wrap however, in the hopes of adding a little less to the landfills.)

    Mary Crowell has returned to Mystic Fig studio to work with Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff. I Have Missed You at My Table is her fourth solo album and is a second jazzy love letter to gaming. Consider it the heir to Crowell's 2012 release, Acolytes of the Machine & Other Gaming Stories.

Back in 2010, Lilium Crowell had Definite Opinions about the direction social media was taking us. She wasn’t wrong.

lyrics

The Xbox Makes You Antisocial
(Copyright 2010 by Lilium Crowell and Mary C Crowell)

The Xbox makes you antisocial.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.
The cell phone makes you think that you’re being social.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.
The dryer lint makes you think you are creative.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.

Chorus:
All these things fool you into thinking
You’re very . . . very. . . copacetic.
Your job makes you think that you are contributing.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.

Verse
Your cubicle makes you think you are important.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.
Computer makes you think that you are connected.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.
The internet makes you feel you are informed.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.

Chorus

Bridge
Social technology is making a fool of me!

Your bank makes you think that you’ve got it covered.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.
Texting makes you think that you are a writer.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.
Recycling makes you think you’ll save the world.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.

Chorus (Variant):
Then there’s a bridge – that bridge is to nowhere.
Aha, Aha. Aha, Aha.
Social technology
Has made a fool out of me.
Social technology
Has made a fool out of me.
