mark-

thanks for putting in a good word. as youre WELL aware, promoting an act
and trying to sell records is ALOT of work. it really helps morale when
we get feedback like this. im gonna forward it to the band, although im
sure you told them something similar already!

also i took the liberty of adding your quote to the band's list of press
quotes online. i hope u dont mind, you can check it at
