...that hotline staff should remain completely anonymous so that the caller is comfortable. Others point out that if you know that people you like and respect are hotline staffers, you may have more confidence in the group and be more likely to call if the need arises.

After all, if you are calling an anonymous hotline, you are probably looking for just that--anonymity. Anything that undermines that cannot be good...

The latter half also reveals the best of Local H: the guitars, bass and drive that makes you turn up the volume to ear-bleeding level and pound the crap out of your roommates. Save up any frustration before listening and let it loose singing along with both the vocals and the guitar, but be sure to take the occasional soft section as a break, because the intensity with which Local H hits...
