That abbreviation always irritated me. It's not very clear to people who haven't encountered it before, and you're only saving 4 fricking keystrokes.

Xover is Crossover because X is cross, alright ? It's part of "understanding PA" ritual.

very good band, and confusing as to what it is they're doing; I agree we need more cuts, but what I've heard is fairly eclectic
