mine's Fresh

― Dickset! Dickset! Disckset! (jaxon), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 17:27 (twenty years ago)

i bounce btwn stand, fresh, and riot. recently its been riot again

― bb (bbrz), Tuesday, 11 October 2005 17:30 (twenty years ago)

both are excellent, and both get tossed aside too often around here in favor of riot. riot probably IS my favorite, after all is said and done, but its not as much of a landslide over fresh/stand/hell-even-life! as it seems to be for a lot of the critical establishment/hivemind.
