The inescapable meme

Alright, I give. The combined meme forces of Hutch, Draper, the Foginator, and that weird slothmolo conglomeration (ever wonder why they're slothmolo and not the 3-Toed Fly? Ok, well I have.) finally has dragged me to my screen at 2:00 am to answer these questions for you, gentle reader.

The download link can be found here, along with links to several random unreleased Stavesacre files for free (Stavesacre-approved) download. Overall not necessarily the most beginner-friendly material but fun for a fan. I'm enjoying Enemy Ships -- quite different from Stave. For an unreleased album it's surprisingly finished and well-produced.

Did you miss 22, 23, 49. 53. 60, or 61? I didn't think you would. I think by the time the morning rolls around I may miss the last 58 minutes I could have been sleeping. though...
