hi Rick,
this wasn't intended as a criticism of the article per se,
rather to point out that it doesn't address the points raised 
by the mailman guy.
It's a nice article, I'm glad to see it mentioning the local
guys and identifying the use of live looping by established acts.
You're quite right, there's certainly no cause to be picky
about what publicity we can muster, and that's indeed 
a very fine piece of publicity.

Surely that's more likely to come about if we can somehow explain 
that we have something to offer other than that which is already presented 
by
mainstream artists...says Andy, aged 47.
