Atop Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Damnit man, you are worse than BoC, b/c at least they actively do not tell us anything. Those of us that have been listening to them for over a decade want to know what they are up to. You seem like you might or might not know. Thanks for dangling the metaphorical carrot even harder than they are. I know they have lives. I know they are not extroverted. We all just want new music form them and to not be teased by anyone about it. WHAT DO YOU KNOW JOYREX!!!!!?
