A selection of things we have found amusing, informative or bizarre...

 

MUSIC SITES

Bela is a very cool electric cellist and friend of Science Never Sleeps. We like strings. Yes.....

Klub Kakofanny is run by very nice people but I'm not sure if it's actually cacophonous. It is however eclectic, which is always good.

Oxfordbands.com Good general guide to what's happening..

Nightshift Online When they're actually on line, that is...

eeebleee.com Tim used to be in this band.

Spirit of Gravity Electronica/avant garde collective from Brighton. Cool.

Wombat Wombat promote things in Norwich and are lovely. Oh yes.

Communist Anthems on MP3.

NME maybe if we link to them they will wuv us.

Artrocker what it says on the tin.

Bovaflux does weird drum and bass in an Aphex Twin stylee. We like him.

Struktur Records connected with the above, also do weird stuff, cool site if you have Flash.

Vacuous Pop should've been linked to a long time ago. Soreeeeeee...

Thursdays of Vega were very good when we gigged with them in Thame. I think you can also get in touch with the promoter of that gig, Mark George, through this link.

Strobe 45 musical vandalism. They thought we kicked ass. We thought they kicked ass. It's nice when people get on. At this rate we'll have to set up a "bands" section in the links page.

The Rude Mechanicals Velvets, Beefheart, Talking Heads, Lene Lovitch and a cool song about Picasso....

Federation Bells harmonic bells from Australia. Includes a MIDI map to put them on to your sampler.

 

SITES OF SPECIAL SCIENTIFIC INTEREST

New Scientist Supernovae! Giant Squid! What do you want from life?

Blind Watchmaker Applet we're down with Mr D....

Polar Plasma Wave Instrument wide band reciever, audio data.

Mystery Noises From Under The Sea they use cold war hydrophones, you know.

Buy Uranium! you know it makes sense.

Underwater Photography at Marine Bio-Images

The Sound Of Two Black Holes Colliding goes "weeeeep" according to the Laser Interferometry Gravitational Observatory.

The Big Bang on the other hand goes "wheeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm"

and The Sun rings like a bell.

Shortwave Radio Samples are cool.

Bizarre intelligence related CD of shortwave numbers stations from here. Why is there a shortwave station in Germany that transmits a little girl's voice reading lists of numbers? And why, given that it's German, is it called the "Swedish Rhapsody"? I don't know, and neither do you.

 

RANDOM STRANGENESS

Memepool.com A kind of rolling index of strangeness. Tim's favourite site.

Get Your War On and other clipart-based satire.

The Onion We know it takes ages to download, but it's usually worth it.

Beach Animals They're made of plastic tube! They are wind powered! They're huge! You can get movie clips of them here!

Look At The Cute Kitten! aaaaahhhhhhhhhh......

Harmonised Singing Horses!! Maybe this should go in the music section. I will quite possibly sample it.

Bring That Glorious Day Closer by breeding artificial intelligence in your screensaver.

Famous Monkeys Through History throw away your anthropocentric history texts now!

Postmodernism Generator Toward a transformative hermeneutics of total bullshit.

 

COSMIC WRONGNESS CORNER some things should not be allowed to happen...

Travis "The love you bring/don't mean a thing/unless you sing, sing, sing, sing". Is it me, or is that a little harsh? And "There is no wrong, there is no right" is frankly Nietzschian.

The German American Folk Festival don't go unless you enjoy being menaced by a 30 foot papier mache child molester dressed in Bavarian costume. Involves no folk music in any way, shape or form.
