Shoutbox

17:56 - Apothecary
Pretty fucking strong trio (Stephen O'Malley, Attila, Oren Ambarchi). Definitely needs some new material [link]

17:54 - Karlabos
Yeah, 6 feet is indeed terrifying

17:49 - Fearmeister
I'm fine with 2 feet. Don't know what people want with 6 feet

17:47 - Bad English
I hate 6 feet

17:13 - flightoficarus86
It served as decent entry level the way a lot of other crap does. Joe, you've got me embarrassed because my list was all 2000's. I LOVE Quicksand. Going to have to add a 90's portion.

17:08 - Sun Shiny
One of my very first. Looking back I'm kinda like what was I thinking... :D

17:05 - flightoficarus86
6 feet under is terrible
