	9:05pm -andrew-: Ha Stevel!
	9:05pm PKNY: This Rockicks track is super righteous, and I appreciate that they gave the drummer some in the middle of the rockin' and rollin'.

	♥ 9:29pm efd: Weirdly my copy of the Reds s/t album ins on GREEN vinyl. The 10" I just played is regular black, but based on the cover I think there must have been a green pressing of that also.
