...fact, the band??s success on Napster was cited as a major component to their being able to play FleetBoston this summer. Melis Sancaktar ’03, who has been listening to Dispatch for a little over a year, first learned about the band when she saw them in concert. “After that I was a Dispatch fan and started downloading all the mp3s I could find and eventually just bought all of their albums which now have a regular spot in my CD player,” she said...

But I would hope that even if the Band seems bizarre to other students, they would still have some idea of what it means to be part of a group like that.
