Personnel

Recorded May 1986, in Los Angeles, U.S.:

The Boss Brass
gollark: It's more standard to use f, g, h and ι as random function names.
gollark: No, all is to be abstracted to clarify boundaries and in case you need it in multiple locations.
gollark: Oh right, most of them are stupidly niche or not public.
gollark: There should probably be more things on there, I'm sure I have more vaguely insane content than that.
gollark: Technically it's 2ish CSS rules for the navbar and a few more for the nice discrete gradient effect I have going on.
