That is an insane visual effect! I don't understand your explanation, but apparently it works just fine.
Be careful with doing request dyes of bands- pretty soon you'll be covering star aviars with Rush's 2112 man-ass.

edit: never mind, I see what you're talking about with the streaks. Probably more visible in person, I'm guessing. I had to really search for that X you were talking about too, it's a bummer they would do that. It's like if I was cooking you some over-easy eggs, but broke one of the yolks, and instead of throwing it away I shat on the plate and sold it to you anyways.
