11/27 Just updated some band stuff. It appears that Alex dropped the second x. And for his privacy, I took out records of his current personal employment. -Amber

Ok. Thanks for your revisions; I was unclear about some things when I started the article. Their Myspace still spells Ale(x|xx)'s name with 2 x's, though. Also, when did they push back the release date for Land Dispute? The band's site hasn't been updated since September, and I don't recall seeing anything on the Myspace about it. It seems a little odd, given that they've already toured promoting the album. Have they given a more definite release date yet? --Idont Havaname 06:19, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
I can confirm the early-2006 release date from personal conversation with Alex. As for the xes, he is currently listed as "Alex Reed" on the bio page for TSN. Phil Sandifer 06:33, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

05/10 And here we see the fundamental flaw of Wikipedia. The fact -- that Jeremy David Long of ThouShaltNot is known as "Jimmy" to his poker-playing friends -- is incontrovertible. It will be verified by any of those friends, the same users making these Wiki edits. The fact is also clearly relevent to the ThouShaltNot Wiki page, as it documents Jeremy's nickname in the exact same manner that Aaron's nickname is documented on the page. However, a small number of Wiki users would like to suppress this fact -- to erase it from the record, so to speak. So who will win? The users publishing The Truth, or those who wish to promulgate a sanitized version of reality? For at least the next several minutes, The Truth shall prevail.

Wikipedia is probably not the best place to try to make your nickname for Jeremy stick. Phil Sandifer 03:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Hmm. The name has definitely stuck already. Now, whether Wikipedia is a good place to spread the nickname to other social groups is another matter. In all likelihood the issue is irrelevent. Charlie


07/19 What's with the deletion suggestion?

If you're into Front 242, you should really check out this outfit's jazzy cover of "Headhunter". It's quite good on its own merits, and a bit of a chuckle when compared to the original. --Popefelix 12:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

I'm friends with Alex, so I will not edit the article, but it is in terrible need of references. --Chris Griswold () 05:32, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Which parts exactly need references? It appears to be in order, at least to the extent of the average Wikipedia music article. My understanding is that in pages like these you give citations regarding trivia or particular notable events, not about basic facts like the band's releases and so on.
