    @Ray: If you’ve been waiting days for the announcement of Party Rockets new single, you obviously aren’t reading my blog 
    http://iloveayakamiyoshisidolmusings.blogspot.com/.  I’ve been blogging about Party Rockets for three weeks now, long before I had any idea that they would have a rock sound, thanks to a tip-off from a Japanese friend of mine who loves B Flat.  I also blogged about the new single covers on July 4, and I don’t know if aramatheydidnt beat me to the punch or what, but I hope you’ll keep an eye on what I write from now on.  Thank you!
