You’re certainly crazy, there’s no way I’ll be able to keep up with buying that many DLC tracks. I’m up to 30 or 40 now though, a big improvement from the 0 you made fun of me for.

Just FYI: I presume that the version of Let There Be Rock will be the mind-blowing 13-minute one.
If it’s not, I’ll be severely disappointed.
