i thought men's recovery project were fantastic, although, i certainly
agree w/ you that i think most people were there to see THEM...you must
have been in a totally different section than i was cuz i'm telling you, i
was surrounded by children lost in MTV Rave-To-Go...it was obnoxious! it
seemed like Ae played but only 4 tracks...and the apple logos glowing was
neat...like i said though, they made good sounds, but repeated the same
ones into 4 songs or so...and i like the beat, but that was, well, mostly
all it was...
