No. I think it's sort of like a llama.

I thought you might be a bit unhappy about it. I'm glad to see that it was by more than one vote  because I didn't vote for it either. I know, I'm a traitor but as you said in a comment to me recently I'm kinda doing it anyway and I have no plans to stop. I also have a treat for you Burtog, hopefully it's a way for you/us to keep the Majolele around forever but it's still a bit off in the distance! I was going to change my vote at the last minute if it was close but it's not looking good. You should manjolele with me anyway just make them short!
Rock on!

How short is short?  Are we talking <2 mins, 1 min, 30 secs?  Do the all the Ramones songs count?  I'm covering an early Tangerine Dream song; it's a short one at only 12 minutes.

How soon is now?

I'm not covering a Tangerine Dream song...
