Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our nearest and dearest FTATR listeners! If you enjoyed ‘For Those About to Mock’ we hope you’ll get as much fun from this as we had recording it! Not editing it though, that became a muthafucker and we began to hate ourselves.

If you’ve never heard ‘For Those About To Mock’ you’ll think we’ve finally lost it.

Drink, eat, be merry and Rock!

FTATR 98 – Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

Will — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 10:26:50 +0000
