When I verify the XML (on xmlvalidation.com) which is output from
http://feeds.feedburner.com/progarchives/reviews
there is an error in the review ICHTHYANDER DAD'S ONLY DOLPHIN Playing Live At One Music Fest.
Just before the text: "The band has one release and i" there is an invalid character.

My RSS feeder 'crashes' on this.

No reaction? Too bad. Maybe I did not describe the effect of  this bug enough...
Due to the invalid character in this review most RSS readers will fail to work because of an error in XML.
For instance firefox RSS reader does not show any reviews past the review with the error.
I've seen this sometimes before at Progarchives, so I thought I report it.
Well, the good news, after some time the 'error' review will be deleted from the feed and all will work again
(The bad news is ofcourse that it is harder to trace bugs which only occur occasionally)
Anyway, I created a workaround in my own reader so that it ignores this error.
