The newest edition of Crop Circles airs tomorrow, 10/5, on breakthruradio.com, and you're on it! Thanks for the fine music, and hope you enjoy the show.
sorry for the last minute changes but the show will be the 10th of october at Dogstory Theater and we'll try to get either the Daily Void from Chicago (great scif-punk band!) or Unicorn Basement from Minn. (great electro-punk band!) so it will be cool as fuck regardless! -cryptic josh
