Thanks for the backup, Sue. How could I forget MBR?

Also, to be fair, FNX does have the "leftover lunch,"
which kicks ass all over the contemporary
"alternative" playlist. But is it me, or is it
offensive that in terming their 80's show this they
completely insult artists (and by extension, their
fans) by implying that, say "People Who Died" or
"Blister in the Sun" are now irrelevant?

Anyway, on a completely unrelated note: Is anybody on
the list fluent in Hungarian? Please email me
privately if you are-- I have a project that needs a
translation.

Thanks, 

Aaron
