this is another way to order the data, and is in some ways more complete, although it is also omits shows where i could only find a clip or two.

obviously, the set has to be from the same tour to be included.

i have to point out that some people may be missing the point.

as an anarchist, i reject the concept of hierarchy. and, trust me: i don't want to hang out with you, if you're still stuck in hierarchical thinking. that's where the whole voluntaryism thing comes in.

so, i'll loudly trumpet myself as a nerd, but it's not even ironic: it's a type of reverse marketing, designed to tell the "cool kids" that i don't want anything to fucking do with them. they can take their hierarchy and shove it up their asses - i'm going to do what i want, and i'm not going to react to anybody's attempts to put people in a total ordering.

it's the kind of thing you used to expect people to grow out of. unfortunately, those expectations of eventual maturation are not what they used to be. but, i'm not about to let it change how i live my life.

there's no irony. i'm not secretly cool. we're all the fucking same. and, if you honestly think otherwise, i think you're a fucking idiot, and i'm not going to want to talk to you, anyways.

i have no fucking patience for "cool people" at all, whatsoever.
i wasn't writing reviews yet in 2010....

50 person bar.

this is another historical set from 2011.

i caught them a few months later in a 50 person bar in ottawa.

this band was always obscure even amongst obscurantists, so this reunion set might be the best i'll ever find. i was able to confirm, at the show, that they are all cardiacs fans, though.

i'll again put out a request for a full set from 2010 or 2011....if you've got it, get it up and find a way to let me know....

i got nailed by my head this morning and was forced to take a nap. the tylenol just decided to stop working, and left me entirely debilitated. i woke up to a much more normal high pressure, sunny february day - and suspect that the dramatic shift in atmospheric pressure and 25 degree celsius drop over night at least didn't help.

but, it may actually be an inflection point, as it's come down to a mild annoyance. hopefully, i can get a good dent into this.

i still can't find a good set of this band playing on the 2011, tour, though. if somebody has footage...

in an election where the choices were perez v. ellison, i'd have written in howard dean.
the not-particularly-inspiring outcome of perez being elected aside, democrats should breathe a collective sigh of relief in avoiding putting a practicing muslim at the top of the party, as that would have had a possibly irreversibly catastrophic set of consequences for the party. hopefully, democrats will now focus in moving away from ideas of religious pluralism and work towards building a secular vision of a post-religious society.

they dodged a potentially fatal bullet, here.
this is actually a serious question: are wrestlers even allowed to take this much testosterone?

we had a talk about this, and while it's not my preferred approach, i wouldn't fight it, either.

something has to give. it's not fair that i'm dealing with smoke from upstairs, even if it's only a few months a year. it gets better in the summer when they turn the a/c on, so maybe there could be regulations involving air filtration systems....
