Y'know, I'm this hard fact loving kinda guy, always wanting to get more info on shit. When I want to get more info on a band, the best general place is American Recordings web wi
de world of music. This is almost a poor man's equivalent to CMB, but for music rather than movies. The Ultimate Band List there contains links to thousands of bands. And good
'ns, too!
And of course there's the Sonicnet.
On the Greyskull Hotlist for ages now! The place to be when it comes to checking out kewl on-line interviews of all kinds. To boost it even further, it gots lots of interview transcripts, the coolest interface around, the best linklists, the wildest c
ards, chicks, dames, booze, drugs and all-night 'Lude-outs. Fuckin' A, man!
TheCrash site!
rocks the cravat and the blazer! Rocks the jockstrap and the buzzbomb! Rocks my weener and your pussy! Is awesome! Is great! Has Blag Dahlia, Dwarves' frontman, fiction! Not for the squeamish!
The Music Database is one of the best music databases on Internet. I've found more discographies there than anywhere else. Try it you'll like it - 69.
The Swedish Punk/HC Archive
is great! So fucking great! If you like Swedish HC and/or punk, that is. And who doesn't? I'm not saying that it's all good, but what the hey.
Uni. of Wisconsin Music Archives has got it all. It's not very handsome to look at, but its hard facts galore can't be dismissed...
Sometimes when I'm looking for hard to get, cool records, like Pansy Division, Mentors, or the Crypt Records we all love, I go to The Indie Record Label List.
Apparently, it has moved now, though... 8(
If you're like me, and like bands like the Cramps, Old fucking Screamin' Jay, Chrome Cranks and tha entire Crypt stable, yer gonna LUV
Psycho Billy likes things PsychoBilly. I do too. Check out them cool Cramps pictures. Wreck on, matey, me old chum! >:)
For krad punx linx, visit Alex's Music page. It roqs! Then go on to one of the net's finest, IntrrrNrrrd. Way way way way way Kool! Indieweb is also tha dope!
One of the most valid sites of all kinds is IUMA. This is what it's all about, peace, love and eating spam! You upload yer music, other ppl listen to yer music -> You get a record deal!
The Music Zone is some kinda online 'zine, with homepages and other great stuff. Good 'n' gooder!
Tha bands!
While I'm onna mood for mentioning bands and stylees I like, I might as well drop some friends of mine with homepages of varying sort. Of course, The semi-official Foetus homepage is totally OK. Foetus is currently onna European tour,
so be
sure to check him out if hes playing in yer vicinity. Even tho' i thought it was pretty lame live... The RESIDENTS homepage is another great place to spend
time. Did ya see their Freakshow CD-ROM? No? Yes? You should check it out by any means necessary. Fuck, steal it for all I care. But not from a person! All ppl who likes The Residents are to be veneered and r-e-s-p-e-c-t-e-d. Word.
Laurie Anderson's Green Room- it's beautiful! And the CDROM is also released by Voyager, the guys behind the Residents' one as well!
Butthole Surfers! Butthole Surfers! Gibby Haynes has the worlds greatest collexion of pathology regalia. Best song? BEST SONG? I'll give ya for 'best song'!
While yer at it, go check out theReverend Horton Heat page! The Rev rocks mightily on all of his albums. He's the baddest of the bad, of course. Pity he ain't on Crypt Baby! H
e done shit with the 'suckers. He done shit with Gibby. He done shit with Unca Al. You can pick up grrrreat songs by the man here as .wav philes, even. Bales of Cocaine as .wav - hilarious!
All smart ppl knows the score when they see it. So don't miss out on the Rocket from the Crypt page, you eggheads out there. All tha lyrx, lotsa songs and greeeat grfx, makes this a don't-
miss-or-you'll-get-fucked-up-like-a-car-crash-page. Yes indeedy!
& how about some Black Velvet Flag? Lounge stylings of th' punk classics...
Then fucken check out New Bomb Turks homepage. My man Buck told me that he'd fuck me up good if I didn't add this'n. So I complied willingly... B sides, they're on Crypt! One ninetynine- are you ou
t of your mind!
Of course, the Buk of the music business must be linked ta... Ladies and gremlins: Mr. Tom Waits. I likes, I likes.
Another bizarre band that unexpectedly had a hit last year is WEEN. But they are good anyway! As is The Jon Spencer Blues Explos
ion and Boss Hog, Jon Spencer's band with that bitchin' beautiful wife of his, Cristina. Whooa, boy! Down!
And Jeez! Tha old Grand Royal/Beastie Boys homepage - my old time favourites and their top of the line magazine... #1 is now available in an 'lectronic version. They still rock
the fuck!
Caca Volante is the John Zorn and Mr Bungle homepage! With an own chat, to boot!
Kramer is kink! Check out who he's worked wif!
Best fucking humour of the world is presented to you byPansy Division, gay punksters with an attitude. Listen to songs like "James Bondage" and "Nine Inch Males", "Fuck Buddy", "B
ill and Ted's Homosexual Journey", "Smells Like Queer Spirit" and laff!
Of course, the late great G. G. Allin is last, but not least. This is his motherfucking, assrapin', shitlickin' tribute homepage! And another one. Dead and disgusting. And the Official GG page!. Yeah, right. The best GG page is Hated on the Internet Vomitose, man. It sh
akes and burnz!
And who would I be to forget the local bands with homepages?
My friends in Sinners
has one up and running, as well as my pals in
Agurk Players.
Another local fave band is honest-to-god skanksters
Liberator, party on a
hammond B-3, to that hep-hep-hep sound. In the near future, I'm gonna do a
page for my surf geetar buddies in Langhorns. It will kick. Oh. I
nearly forgot Rottingdean's page. Pals
of mine play with'em. Stay & pray!

Venues
Here in Lund, we've got one of the IMHO best alternative venues in the world whatsoever, Mejeriet. It roqs! The day I'm writing this, Voodoo Glow Skulls is playing, followed by <
I>Swervedriver. Tomorrow (as I'm writin' this), G. Love and Special
Sauce is gonna play, and Saturday Swedish hipster Stakka Bo is gonna play with DJ's from Lucky People Center, cutting edge tribal techno from Sweden, usually with a brain & monkey PhD
shaman singer. Fokkin' mean. One of the other great venues here, KB in Malm–, has finally got their homepage now, a few weeks ago Tindersticks played there and Mr. Bungle played last week. T
hey also have the worst security and assorted goons around. Layme-o muthas! 'Don't jump!', 'Leave your jacket in the wardrobe!', 'You can't sit on the floor!' (thanks Hellen-Dellen!) But they have great bands.
Lund is a pretty active student town as well, students often drinking, fucking and listening to music in the student nations. The best this spring, band wise, are the ever popular Sm¬lands
and the up and coming punkish/popish Blekingska. Sm¬lands got Supersuckers playing this Friday and Cows inna couple of weeks.
