Looks like I'll be buying some Not Lame stuff shortly. Wow! Some great
releases. Can't wait to get the new Pop Overthrow disc (and not just because
I'm on it....heehee).
Oh, and kudos to Bruce for his fantastic review of Geoff Gibbon's new
"Sentimental Maniacs" CD. Geoff really appreciates the fact that you took
time enough to "get it"!!
