Re: Why I'm starting to loath news paper music critics



It's rare that a review is of no use to the reviewed, and personally
I'd take two pull quotes from this review and use them in my press kit
and on gig posters (if it was a review of my music):

"...a soundscape for cosmic travel..."--Boise Weekly

and

"...an astral tapestry..."--Boise Weekly


This other album you're describing sounds really interesting, and I'm
definitely available for gratis session work on it.
