No.. he was right. By the end of the project we hated each other, and i feel
like the project suffered not only from Mark's involvement, but my own.
I'm kidding of course. While i take Eytan's point, i'm just happy that the
writer seemed to 'get' what we're doing and wrote an overwhelmingly positive
review. (Hell.. i'm happy when anyone notices!) The only glaring mistake i
can see was how he'd write such a good review and only rate it a '6'.

Ooh.. that was harsh and ultimately unprovoked. No fair play i think....
Thanks to all who've enjoyed The Supahip record enough to rate it. It's been
a nice surprise, and for those who haven't heard it i encourage you to at
least go to the Not Lame sight, pre-order the Willie Wisely and while you're
there at least have a listen to some Supahip stuff. (should be on iTunes and
eMusic really soon)It's a very enjoyable record...
