Like Bruce I try and limit the amount of self-promotion on the list until 
the conversation threads point in that direction (then lookout cause I'm 
going to hawk my wares). I appreciate other labels posting their new 
releases here like Tall Boy and even when Bryan is working on some Rhino 
project. It's a healthy barometer of the activity that *is* going on in the 
indie music scene or, at the very least, in the mainstream industry that 
interests people on this list. The Wackers' Collector's Choice re-issues as 
an example. Not my label, but fine products and ones that directly impact 
one of my artists....so thumbs up to anyone putting in the effort to inform 
and educate the list on what is going on out there. We all can't read 
Amplifier, Big Takeover and Yeah Yeah Yeah on a regular basis (I know I 
don't have the time). So bring it on....

And if it's okay with the list I'll post related stories and releases that 
have no Klaatu content :-)
