  La Ira de Dios. I picked up Archaeopterix on vinyl from Aural 
Innovations a while back.
I'd love to see them live. I haven't been keeping up with things as much 
as I should ever
since Jerry had to give up selling music - guess I should've spent more 
:) . I'm glad he
still does the radio shows and zine so I can keep somewhat up to date on 
new music
...speaking of which, it's probably been a few months since I checked 
the site out,
better head over now.
