BOC

  Howard Stern was always on Club Ninja .. "When the bones of our oppressors
have turned to dust ..."

On the other hand, I seem to remember that at least one European release 
of it snipped that speech, so, yeah, including it could be considered a 
bonus of sorts.  =)

I'ld like to hear the version of White Flags that doesn't fade out ... 
I'm wondering how it ends.  But, what I'd really like is C.E.'s Deadline 
to have the downbeat restored.  I kept waiting for Sony to do a remaster 
of that album.  May as well try to scrounge up the british release that 
fixed that error, I guess.  Hello, ebay?
