[kj] OT: iPod

[Christof hamille]

One night was Disfear, Phobia, 9 Shocks Terror, and 3-4 others.  Last night 
was Tragedy, Forward and Warhead.  Angry armpit punk.  I think that is it 
for a few weeks.  Legendary Pink Dots are swinging back through as are the 
US Bombs.  Supposedly Killing Joke are coming to the States ;)

So there.  Now this message is on topic

Chris
