Hey Jimmy! Did you see that we have a picture of you in The Seeds photo album ... entitled Sunlight Angels for now ... trying to come up with a better name ... any ideas? Anyway, LV picked out that pic so let us know if you would rather us use another one ... I liked Guardians of Psychedelia but Sky said he didn't want to be pigeon-holed into JUST psychedelia ... so he nixed that idea ... What do you think about The Sunlight Guardians?
LV is doing an amazing job with The Seeds site .... don't you think?
