Here are some links to my favourite music and entertainment sites.
This page, my darlings, is screamingly funny!

Dave Shaw makes wonderful whistles. I've been using them exclusively ever since I discovered them about 3 years ago.
Shaw Whistles
Also pretty damn wicked in the instrument department is the glass flute. I adore these things, they're so damn sexy!
Hall Crystal Flutes
My all-time favourite musician is the German composer who more or less single handedly invented the techno/ambient/electronica thing. He's been doing that sort
of thing for over 30 years now.
Klaus Schulze
Also, his first band, for whom he was the drummer on the very first album, can also be very very cool. Either that or they suck...it's a 50/50 thing with them. But
they are the only band I know of that consists of a father and son. And when they're good they're very very good. Check them out
Tangerine Dream
An amazing band from the UK, who just get better and better, even though they seem to get less and less famous...but by God they're good!
Shriekback
One of the masters of instrumental music (pity about his vocal music) is Mike Oldfield. The guy's a genius. I don't much care for his official site, but there is a
good unofficial one.
The Bell
And how could I not mention Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard? These guys are amazing!
Dead Can Dance
Lastly (for now) but not leastly, the Australian Gothic Elvis, an absolute fucking genius, Mr Nicholas Edward Cave
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Now for some writers. First, I'd like to introduce you to Robert Rankin, who I regard as the master of stupid humour, my favourite kind of humour.
Sprout Lore
Stephen Fry, also, is an absolute genius. He's an author, an actor, and one of the greatest English wits since Oscar Wilde (who he played in the film "Wilde")
QuickFry
And how could I possibly not include the author of the 26 books of the Discworld series?
Terry Pratchett
More will be coming soon.
