Hey Carstairs, you should go to this. And I owe you $10 ...

no doubt. I meant to check out the last show on Main. I guess I can't use the excuse that I don't have money for the cover.

The Live at the Future Primitive vol 2 (w/ DJ Radar) and the Anti-War mix are the definite highlights from the Z-Trip downloads that are posted.

1. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Papa Won't Leave You, Henry

2. Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers Pt 1

does anyone but bouche go there?

this thread needs its own forum.

Theme: Songs About The Sanctuary (This theme is very loosely defined, and very much open to interpretation; but if any players don't understand why the song is about The Sanctuary, they can ask you about it, meaning that your song-choice may be open to challenge, so be prepared to defend it...)

1. The Circle Jerks - I Just Want Some Skank

2. The Doors - People are Strange

3. The Slip - Sorry
