Fantastic! I like the concept Scott. Good stuff here. Some interesting choices!
SSLYBY is an excellent name, I must agree!
They Shoot Horses Don't They?
That could go into the band names category?
Yeah, Illnoise was really good. I haven't heard Drunkard's Prayer thoroughly enough to say, but I might have given it to DP. Both are really good, though. I especially liked 'Casimir Pulaski Day'.
