Hello doers,

we has some specil annuocnements to maek:

our first vinyl release UNION JACQUES is being delayed a couple of weeks. Somebody at the pressing plant must have dropped his glasses or fake teeth into the big bowl of liquid vinyl - at least that's how it sounds like. We will keep you posted!

Google+ was launched just after we reached 1000 likes on Facebook, oh snap! The revolution will not be re-tweeted.

Amazing anglo-japanese label ∆ICASEA has started a fundraising project we urge you to support. The media has already buried everything concerning the earthquake / tsunami / nuclear meltdown in Japan, and we are all back to talking about other issues, e.coli and who's gonna go on holiday or the Monaco wedding, but the situation is still critical and there's still thousands of people with no housing and other serious troubles.

"Benefit Compilation For Japan is dedicated to the victims and survivors of the March 11th Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and to those affected by the ongoing nuclear crisis. All proceeds from the sale of this compilation will be donated to assist in the rebuilding of peoples lives and the recovery of the devastated areas. The proceeds will be split between the Japanese Red Cross Earthquake Relief Fund and the special accounts set up by the regional governments of the affected areas for the acceptance of monetary donations."

Compiled by Satoshi Aizawa, Tom Knapp and Alex Peverett with special assistance from Rydell Green (∆ICASEA), Thomas Lanza (Mazout), Tom Scholefield (Display Copy) and Egisto Sopor (AAVV).
