My experience of Diaspar is that they end every five-song set with a twenty minute monologue,discussing the musicians and everything they've done for the past decade and every- one who's vaguely associated with them...etc.I really don't remember hearing many female vocalists on Diaspar.I don't think that Diaspar plays that much vocal music at all. And I don't believe that she's that heavily played on YNMT. Of course I listened often to YNMT during the past summer,maybe because the album about dogs has been released since then I've missed something.I doubt it though... > Paul it takes guts to come to Doug Alan's aid,you're to be com- mended first,then lynched, Larry Palena
