This isn't twang, but given the bad news regarding labels and stations
coming down these days, some of you might want to lend a hand to support
an important live music venue. For over twelve years, the Gilman St.
Project has provided scores of punk bands a place to play (and many kids
a place to socialize) in the industrial section of Berkeley. Opposition
from a neighbor is leading to possible action by the city to shut the
project down. This would be a terrible loss, as years of sweat by many
people have turn the project into a remarkable all-ages venue.
If you're interested in finding out more about the situation, go to
