cut to the chase, John; all right; I'm listening to Shap by Dead Voices on Air; maybe somebody besides me still remembers this album, I don't know but I kinda doubt it; that's kind of my point here; I have had this album since a month or two before its release, not because I am a Mark Spybey fanatic; in truth I'm not quite sure who he is or what he's done, besides this Dead Voices on Air thing; but the album fell into my hands around October of 1995 and has served as a silent point of occasional return for me ever since; because; it; doesn't; matter;
