RE: RIP Zero Hour

That's a real shame.  Besides putting out _Sweet Life_, 
a fave from last year, they also released the sublime 
_Shrink_ by the Notwist, which I LOVED.  Imagine a 
German New Order combined with jazz and electronica.
A brilliant record.

 Got an e-mail today from onew of the staff at Zero Hour (Steve Wynn,
 Varnaline) that the label shut its doors today.

So this means the staff is let go and the Steve Wynn record will not be stillborn? You can still buy that John Wesley Harding record?

All the message said was that this staff member got notice they were
shutting down. Nothing about a merger. Maybe he wasn't included in the
label's future plans.
