The Schopenhauer Experience's Friend Space (Top 22)
HI there... the world is not ready for karaoke biosemioticians... the world is not ready for many things... But music here: it seems "en knott i havet" is my favourite, plus "noizette"...

----excerpt (circa 1926) from Gertrude Stein's A BOOK CONCLUDING WITH AS A WIFE HAS A COW.
