nah, just last week wasnt it?

and i wonder why alla sudden _semantics_  are such a big deal.
with all due, or undue, respect,
spare we, the >>players<< your semantics...

lolol, in the '80s, the hardcore punk-types basically evicted my band from
their happy little cul-de-sac.  =koff=

so, like, lololol, 15 years later, maybe the space-rock contingent will (wish
they could) evict das ludicroix from _their_ happy little cul-de-sac.

i kinda think doug ( AP) walker wouldnt care too much about this quest for
the proper semantics; i know i bloody _dont_ care.  shoot, twixt he and moi
there's, like, over 50 years experience...and we'll be onstage together, at
the risk of improper semantics, 7/1 at mandelbrot, when m'sieu walker joins
us as part of das ludicroix.

so _why_ should _y'all_ care?

'idiosycrasies'? which comes _first_ here, folx? the music? the
'idiosyncratic' semantics? the cul-de-sac?

sub-sub-sub-fooey!, is what this one says:

a) _like_ it.  or
b) _don't_ like it
