        There did used to be a really good one I was on for a while,
before it migrated to Yahoo Groups and fell foul of my sysadmin's spam-
protection system. It was run by a young chap called Lou Rinaldi who was
hoping to make his way as a music journo and a good few of the bands had
people on it, notably Sixty Watt Shaman and Solace, and John McBain was
on it for a while. There was a lot of noise but I never quite
unsubscribed because every time I thought about doing so a piece of
dimaond information or a gig I would have missed reached me. As you'll
have noticed I'm not exactly dealing rapidly with mail at the moment so
when I fell off I didn't do anything about getting back on. But the list
is still around, I think, at <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stonerrock/>,
and though I've not been there for years it was good when I was. Yours,

Jon
