Let's show em what they mean to us.

lyrics. Good stuff.

Have your voice heard!

I've posted a poll on the right side to get some opinions. I've tried to vary the labels as much as possible; if theres a key label I missed shout it out in a comment and I'll toss it in. If you have exciting and valuable news let us know and we'll certainly give a broshoutout on the air this wednesday. Please use your discretion if leaving info for us, we like to be as factual as possible and don't want to spread any empty rumors...or loaded ones at that! Of course we want to do our best to keep this *a place where truth is told*.

Also, I'd like to mention that I was DEAD wrong about With Honor being on Bridge Nine at some point this past wednesday. As I searched for labels to use in the poll, I found alas I was mistaken. I'm sorry for all those who took that information, used it in the past few days and were made to be fools because of me. My sincerest apologies!
