* Expect the General Assembly to put $5 million in the Beach Renourishment and Trust Account that will benefit Edisto Beach. A small part, about $200,000 of the proposed money, would go toward a renourishment study of Pawleys Island

* U.S. Coast Guard hopes they will file a newly devised float plan that can be obtained via the Internet. Called the world's only life-saving device on paper, the plan is a form boaters can fill out to leave a record of where they're going and when they're coming back

* Gov. Jeb Bush is seeking another $67 million to repair hurricane damage to Florida beaches, double the state's normal annual spending on beach renourishment

Sir,
What a wonderful and interesting web site you have created. Have only just 'stumbled' across it, so still have many hours of interest ahead of me.
My father served in HMS Lively (Destroyer) in WW2 (Med) in Force K from Malta. His close friend was an Australian, Jock Simpson; they were in B gun: never been able to trace him. Have remembered many stories my father related to me, but Jock seemed to be quiet a character. It seems he worked as a drover in AU, and thus in B turret he wore an AU cowboy hat, and continually read Westerns!
He was the one who 'pressed' the firing button, and then said 'and another critter hits the dust'
Last year, through the internet, I managed to receive a CD made by a seaman in the Lively, her battles, and eventual sinking.
Sorry to ramble on, Thanks.

Harris Newman, Sleeping Weather, Todd Mathers
9pm, $5 at the door
Harris Newman
These days it seems as though anyone performing instrumental music with an acoustic guitar as the centerpiece is automatically referenced to the late John Fahey. So it comes as an invigorating breath of fresh air to hear the music of Harris Newman, a guitarist from Montreal, Canada whose musical approach actually does come from a perspective true to the American acoustic compositional tradition that Fahey and his Takoma Records imprint helped advance. Active in the musical/cultural hotbed that is Montreal - his resume boasts electric/upright bass duties in Constellation Records frayed-folksters Sackville, and conducts audio mastering work through his Grey Market Mastering company (clients include such Montreal luminaries as Fly Pan Am, Hanged Up, A Silver Mount Zion and countless others) - Harris Newman's solo music is a beautiful beast of a decidedly different color than the typical Montreal scene. Newman is a fingerstyle steel-string acoustic guitarist possessing a remarkably detailed and lush sound, and he is creating some of the most lyrical compositions for the
instrument to be heard anywhere.

Sleeping Weather
Sleeping Weather is orange light's hum, amplifiers mumbling with their eyes closed. While living in boston and new york. Eli Queen played, toured and recorded with The Autumn Rhythm. the music he made in that band was described as "intimate and narcotic," (The Village Voice), "minimalist tunes that often reflect the ethereal rush of Britain's 4AD label without the special effects," (Rolling Stone), and "a mesmerizing grey soundscape." (Subterra Boston).
Similar adjectives could be applied to the spare instrumentation of Eli's, Athens-based, solo project.
Sleeping weather's first ep, Dark Corners & Oxygen Mysteries, will be released in May 2005 by Keep Recordings of tucson, AZ.

Indian Jewelry
There is a place, a black rub-out in the geography of the Gulf Coast, that has produced very few artifacts from life before the conquest. Where the towering Karankawas drove fear into the hearts of invaders with their discordant cries and cannibal reputations. Where turquoise diamonds form in the cataract-clouded eye of the collective unconsciousness, and self-sabotage provides an escape from the cares and rules of the moneyworld. INDIAN JEWELRY is from that place.
PERSONNEL: Erika Thrasher (synth, vox, guitar) Rodney Rodriguez (percussion) and Sympathetic Arms (vox & ephemera.)
Until the end of July 2004 INDIAN JEWELRY toured and released records under the following names: NTX+ELECTRIC, NTX/ERIKA THRASHER, SWARM of ANGELS, JAPANIC, TURQUOISE DIAMONDS, CORPSES of WACO, PERPETUAL WAR PARTY BAND.
"Suicide inspired electronics from Houston, TX. Totally wierd and unhip in a classicly Texan kind of way. They are doing to electro what the Butthole Surfers did to "the Blues" or Scratch Acid to funk. That is to say, they are electro's simultaneuos annihilators and it's half witted, monkey boy revitalizors. All decked out in sweat stained leather, with (poorly) 1/2 shaven heads, living on the road on a nonstop, never ending tour. They're pretty damn ballsy and totally amazing!"
- Ben Hernandez, Detroit Art Space
"I am not quite sure what in the hell this is, and it kinda freaks me out..."
- David Christensen, Fake Jazz
"This band from Texas is finally dragging rock & roll into the new century...they might even redeem Texas for foisting George W. Bush on us!"
- Fred Wright
"My god! At times, it's nearly orgasmic!"
- Lewis Houston, Vinyl-A-Go-Go
"A dream underground, waiting to be found by starving shepherds and taken to jaded hunters. Who will fall on their bionic knees."
- Don Allred, Village Voice
"...clanging and feedbacky and fuzzed up as all get out; in other words, extremely irritating to parents and animals but otherwise awesome."
- Time Out New York
"...at once absurd and elegant"
- Jack Rabid, The Big Takeover
"...the kind of stuff that inspires one to rob banks or grab guitars and make some sonic-damage of my own"
- Shawn Abnoxious, Blank Generation)
