New Meat Puppets

I was pleasantly surprised to hear there would be new Dinosaur Jr and Buffalo Tom albums this year, but this blows me away. I'm downloading it now and I'll share it soon. All I can say is I hope it doesn't suck.

OiNK is an amazing bittorrent site. It's very strict, and takes some effort to keep an account in good standing, but I've reaped many rewards since I joined.

I can send you an invite if you'd like. Let me know your email address.

This is one of the rare bands that my girl introduced me to. She loves the hell out of them, and they're starting to grow on me as well. I've been informed that the video for Young Folks is "really sweet".

Far be it for me to try to school you on the English language, Dins, but it is possible for something to have more than one name. If you're a pretentious twat you can insist on calling them playbills, otherwise I think gig posters is an appropriate term.
