No Rock And Roll Fun

BANDS TIDYING UP AFTER BUSH: You'll feel your eyes start to bulge at the impressive line-up sonic boomerang have put together for their bread for the city benefit album. Entitled Wellspring, and with all and any profits going to help people in Washington DC who've fallen through the welfare net (or, more accurately, fallen off the welfare tightrope), they've got Cinerama, Bettie Serveert, Barbara Manning, the Mendoza Line and - inevtiably - others all donating sparkling new tracks (except Cinerama, who didn't have the time so gave an almost new track instead.) You might want to buy a copy, or else ponder how a country like the US needs to rely on benefit albums to feed its people.
