Oh, man, I have to agree with Janszoon on this one. These guys are freaking great. I'll listen to the whole album tomorrow but I'm really glad they got back together. Their best album is probably the Sophtware Slump from 2000 but everything they did was classic. Great pick, TH. Glad you liked them
Jed the 4th is probably a variation of Jed the Humanoid I would surmise.
