  8. Davey said he wanted to play it live, and AFI usually doesn't play something live until it's been released. (There are exceptions though, I know)And if that super tin box edition of Crash Love comes out, I'm betting anything that TVFH will be on it.

  9. I hope, so badly, that it does. I'd love to hear TVFH, as well as DMC if we ever get that.
