Haha, I’m even grateful for someone to be complaining about a newspaper. I gather that means they’ve A) read one recently, and/or B) paid for...
in addition
The week has ended for Beefheart starting tomorrow, so I will try and work on wrapping up a consensus on that which could prove difficult since I have to write a story tomorrow, but I will probably have time. I have an album coming in the mail..but I’ll probably get a wildcard tomorrow. Until then…

game off! game on!
