I've had 58 e-mails and answered just a few in June, and July I've had 47 more, ALL supportive and favorable. Thanks very much for the support, and you will hear more from ITP in the fall, I promise.
DANNY COMMENTS: "Why are you so liberal? Just say it Spak, I know you want to.. The music industry sucks, and they need to stop signing garbage and crappy emo bands. Secondly, QOTSA vocalist would have been ecstatic had a woman thrown her bra onstage. I suppose he was quite disappointed when a (male) kid lost his sneakers on stage. QOTSA vocalist is a funny douche. Also, CRAPTOPSY's new CD is awful I agree, review it and make me laugh."
ITP author: Agreed 100%. CRYPTOPSY's "The Unspoken King" was PAINful to listen to. A review in the fall, and positive news and reviews too.
