Flotsam's greatest hits

Avoiding words like "hiatus" and "side projects" and "broken up," some rock bands simply need some time away, and now is one of those times for Flotsam. There are far more pressing matters in the world to explore, like JOBA MANIA and omgjobaisgoingtostart.

Like all bands in downtime, it's never a bad idea to release a Greatest Hits, especially after just one or two CDs. That's capitalism, people.

But fret not, we shall return soon, with even stupider opinions from stupider people. In the meantime, enjoy some of Flotsam's Greatest Hits.
