 		[PUZZLE?] Hollow Needles Icons
The printing block, backwards 'S' on The Hollow Needle, makes one look closer at the icons on the top of the page.

The question mark, viewed in reverse, or in a mirror, could be the letter C and it's dot, an O.
The envelope on it's side, looks like an M
The "*? (mail to envelope)" at the end of the line of icons, suggests .COM
Maybe it would lead to Phyllis' blog?
Below are letters that the icons may represent in different orientations.
Quote:

BOOK.....CHAIR......VASE.....SPOONS....BOX.......CAMEL....LOCK
I ............. R .......... O........... M .............O ...........N.......... D
L .............A ...........C............ W ............I ............Y ......... E
C ............M.............S.............E............ H.............U..........V
dash........OE............B.......................... T.............H.........OD
...............EA............I............................IO......................ED
..............OM...........U............................TO.....................UO
...............MO...........8.............................OT....................OU
..............ODE


The printing block "S" , itself, may be used, and the large doll with the partial ring may also be an O or a P.

Can you see other letters the icons may represent?
Can anyone make a url outta that?

 		Sorry. No luck finding anything like a URL. Good eye, though. I'm assuming the splat is just a logical break between the inventory and the other areas of the site.

The printing blocks did remind me of something I was going to check up on and never did.
"Incunabula" refers to books printed on moveable type presses prior to 1501.
Randomly Googling around, I found this.
Check out the note for Song #6:
""Eggshell" was featured in a more basic, danceable form on the (Artificial Intelligence) compilation as "The Egg"."
And that album art is quite 'puzzling'.
Not of any value to our quest, but the coincidences you find are sometimes amazing.
