It seems the original inquiry was about favorite TRACKS. Rob's response fails to answer the question in such a way that it may suggest overtones of hostility, mischievousness, or pretentiousness to some readers who don't realize that "If You Can Find A Frozen Lake (And Throw Stones Across It)" is the working title of a track slated to appear as one of three bonus tracks on the Nothing release of their new album. - Charles [btw, do you agree that Rob IS an asshole, but NOT a pretentious asshole?] __________________________________________________________ Sale List: http://members.aol.com/perv303/forsale.html Recently added: releases on Dot, Sabotage, & Soup-Disk __________________________________________________________
