it should be noted that this performance was released prior to A Lazarus Taxon as part of a DVD series produced by Brendon Canty of Fugazi called Burn To Shine. each volume takes place in a different city and features artists from that city performing throughout a single day in a house that is destroyed afterwards. volume 2 takes place in Chicago and features in addition to Tortoise the following: Pit Er Pat, Wilco, The Lonesome Organist, Shellac, Freakwater & others.

I guess the joke went right over my head, but like I said. I love both, but they're two completely different bands. I've been following both for over six years now, and I can enjoy both for what they are and honestly I don't prefer either. I accept them for what they are and appreciate them for that as well, and that's about it. From certain aspects Tortoise might be better but from another point of view I could say the same for Mono. It's all good music, and that's all I care about.
