That's how *I* got hooked!  I already had _Patience_ from way back when,
but it wasn't until one friend gave me a mix tape that had some tunes from
_Good Dog Bad Dog_, and another friend (on this list) sent me some mp3s,
that I began to get curious about the band ... and then I went to their
web site, downloaded their "top ten" mp3s, made a point of seeing them at
Cornerstone 2000, and bought all their non-_Patience_ CDs in one go!

Honestly, do good bands have anything to fear from filesharing?  I think
it's only the *sucky* bands that have to worry.
