From the Management (Page 26)

Hello viewers,Apologies for the lateness, but I recently found myself bound and gagged on a flight to Maine. It was fun, there were steamers and lobsters galore, and I would recommend it for anyone who’s a fan of five-hour car drives.

Those of you who’ve checked out the MySpace site know that I do brief (very brief) reviews of two albums that hit my fancy.
