I don't get it...

I think you actually know my girlfriend unless there is another drummer called Christy from a band called Edgar Prais. Edgar Prais were awesome. You still going?

There was a big ol' thread on this board a coupla days back which centred around The Strokes record being number one...guess you had to be there kinda thing.

Aye, there's a fair ol' chance. Initials FS? She's good people, in my English Lit class. I'm pretty sure you and I musta met someplace down the line.

Na the Prais are no more. Them's the breaks.
