Having heard Richard's take on that both live and on disc first, it took me a long time to warm up to Dar's when I finally got her. (Without meaning to sounding like a guitar dweeb, I really love that little hammer on he does in the intro...) Never thought before that Shades could be referred to as SOB,SOB. That makes me giggle. - -J ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2007 12:17:57 -0400 From: "John McDonnell" Subject: [RS] Ubermavis Hey all: Chris wrote: >>Ah, well, don't get your hopes too high then; my lil' old analysis will probably be pretty tame compared to the stuff you're used to. I only dabbled in Philo in school--Anthropology/Astrophysics double here--and anyway it's more of a "take one cool Nietzschean concept and run with it" than it is a comprehensive analysis.<< No worries, Chris, it's not like it's rocket science, right?. My remaining knowledge of philosophy goes no further than the Monty Python song--you know the one that has "There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'Bout the raising of the wrist. Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed."? I'm especially fond of the line "And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart I drink, therefore, I am."

Then a few days later, a show popped up on Dime A Dozen, which is a site for sharing legal downloads in lossless format of shows. She's wonderful. If anyone is a member of Dime A Dozen, then you should get it. To my knowledge, only two Shindell shows have shown up on Dime, and they were from McCabe's, one from 2002, and another from 2004. Has anyone considered torrenting any Richard shows out into the community? www.DimeADozen.org Thanks a lot. Matthew Tired of HotMail? Try Runbox. 1 gig of storage for a reasonable price.
