Useful Websites

I've either sent these to, or been sent these, by other members and they're all worth a dabble:

Alien8 Recordings Want to know what God Speed You Black Emperor do in their spare time? You'll find out here and there's a lot more weird and wonderful stuff besides.

Epitonic Good biogs and free, legal downloads of a whole range of music, all usefully cross-referenced.

Hydrogendukebox This is where to go for your House, Downtempo, Garage and Drum n Bass.

A Largehearted Boy, A Girl and His Radio A staggeringly comprehensive music blog with links to downloads, reviews, interviews. Mentions books as well. Must be a full-time job.

Last Plane to Jakarta The site of John Darnielle aka The Mountain Goats. Makes about as much sense as his song titles. Particularly liked his list of things you could compare Interpol to, apart from Joy Division, which I took to be his adverse reaction to the state of music criticism.

Luaka Bop David Byrne's eclectic record label. Lots of streamed music, mostly modern World.

Calabash Music Strictly World music, both traditional and fusion. Loads of paid-for downloads of both individual tracks and albums. One free download a day -RL
