'A Directory of Wonderful Things' with a particular slant on freedom of expression using the internet. A good reminder that politics (with a small 'p') can be fun too. Excellent stuff.

"HYPNAGOGIES in BIDDHASOLUTION"... err, yes?! Italian language but not to worry - Zlob, its author, is a man of few words. A great collection of Moebius comic strips and other graphic wierdness.

Lellebelle [Out-Of-Print-Vinyl]
lellebelle.blogspot.com/
A priceless gem of a blog offering loads of high quality full album downloads.
All hosted on rapidshare I'm afraid, and of dubious legality but great if, like me, you're into Bollywood and 60s Italian soundtracks (check out Piero Piccioni's Camille 2000) or acid rock experiments (The United States of America and The Silver Apples )
There's even a copy of the Jean-Jacque Perrey album 'The in sound
from way out!' which inspired the beastie boys album of the same name
(and cover!)
Note: Many more mp3 blogs in the 'Music Blogs' section below.

The Nurse With Wound List

"The List was originally
included with Nurse With Wound's first two albums but was later expanded by the Freeman
Brothers in their "The Audion Guide to Nurse With Wound"
"In addition to being a list of some of the most 'out music' artists around, it also is a list of the major influences of Nurse With Wound (as well as the Unitied Dairies label). The emphasis of this website is on the influence aspect."
Make sure you check out TGK's own recommended version of the list which additionally includes recommended albums.
