Who I'd like to meet: Alien life forms;
Humans of the future who exist outside the social universe of capital
Short of that, I would settle for Moishe Postone (author of 'Time, Labor and Social Domination'), Steven Wilson (of Porcupine Tree) or Gee Morris (lead singer in Innocence).
Since we can't expect the maestro himself to be so brash (he's actually a little shy once you really get to know him), we've decided to take it upon ourselves and do the dirty work for him...
After so many years of such heartfelt devotion, the RAUSCH album is OUT NOW and we can't help but feel compelled to provide a gentle little nudge on his behalf... or rather, proclaim it from the mountaintop!
Hiya, thanks for being a friend - I enjoyed visiting YourSpace :-) Keep it up May your life be full of love, light and fun... hugs SOREN - Beats for change - NYERTUN

Hey there Glenn, long time no speak! How's life been treating you?!
I am taking a gamble here, on the possibility that the end of my 1,769,017-year-long-tunnel-of-seclusion (and finally a real honest-to-God Album Release Date to show for it!) might perhaps be reason enough to check in and say HELLO? :>
It would be an honor to have you on board...
...well either way I'm saying HELLO!
Hope all is well ...
Best,
Doug
