all this political talk, again!  :(  i think we should all make a
britney spears tribute compilation.  i am sure mr. szepanski would love
to release that on ritornell.  the concept relates to microsound in ways
i have never thought possible.  i am so awed with the inherent
rhizomatic connection between these two topics, i have even forgotten
the meaning of "sarcasm".
