Well EFD, I had forgotten about that Dream Syndicate reissue. So now I just sent myself an email to remember order it tomorrow when I pay bills. Thanks for costing me money yet again!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:33pm

I think the reason this show feels so stressful is that there's no wiggle room for any song selection -- they're all pre-determined and have to be played in the right sequence!

lets hear more about this "wiggle room"
