reggae & soul info that I can fit into one mailing. This is a
modorator only post so that means NO JUNK MAIL!

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NEWS:

"Time Tough", never truer then today. There is widespread
distruction, panic, suffering and fear in the gulf coast region. A
whole system of commerce and lifestyle has been distroyed with no
forseeable timetable to recover. There is looting and killing in the
streets.

Victims of Hurricane Katrina are attempting to recover from the
massive storm that is still making its way across the Mid-Atlantic
States. American Red Cross volunteers have been deployed to the
hardest hit areas of Katrina's destruction, supplying hundreds of
thousands victims left homeless with critical necessities. By making
a financial gift to Hurricane 2005 Relief, the Red Cross can provide
shelter, food, counseling and other assistance to those in need.

LAWLESS STREET EXPLOSION
We are gearing up to bring some new merch and relaunch our distro
plans. Things have been backed up for some time but there is some
new things on the way.

CLAY ACTS UP ADJUSTERS STYLE
Clay, winner of the Bay Area Scooter Film Festival, is a genuinely
funny comedy set to the upbeat swinging sounds of sax man David
Hillyard (The Slackers, Dave Hillyard & the Rocksteady 7) and
includes a never before released demo track from Hepcat. This video
short is now available on DVD with a video from Mod Soul Skasters
The Adjusters.

The Adjusters perform their original soul-flavored "Our Town." This
music video was shot on location in Chicago and features the
historic Jimmy's Woodlawn Tap in Hyde Park. Look for Jimmy himself
in the final scene of the video. He's the guy sitting at the bar
enjoying the finer pleasures of life: a cigar and a good beer. "Our
Town" is from The Adjusters' first album The Politics of Style.
