Some old links that I meant to blog in 2004: these ones are still online:

Craigley Heath! This interview with Josie Lawrence with Danny Baker (from his old breakfast show on BBC Radio London), Amy Lamé and Mark O'Donnell is still there and well worth a listen. Is it life-changing? perhaps. (Real Player required) It includes an encounter with a stage-door Jenny and a priceless clip of Alec Guinness at his most misanthropic in response to a Star Wars fan. If you enjoy this sort of thing, then Danny Baker now has a show in the afternoon and the last five days are online.

The Skewed Worldview of Lubin Odana is a blog I'll be adding to the links on the side of this page. He's a bit crazy and we like the same horror films.

The Modern Antiquarian is a resource for ancient sites in the UK and Ireland, such as Avebury and Stonehenge.

The Search for the Spider Pool (NSFW) is definitely not safe for work. The beautiful location for many 1950s nude photos still has its secrets.

Dialectical sex and gender: Cunnilingus in North Korea. Interesting comments - good music too! Strangely this may be safe for work. It may be.

The dark side of Mary Poppins.

Dennis Wheatley wrote A Letter to Posterity which is linked to in this BBC feature. "Your life does not matter, but your freedom does."

Michael Moorcock's Miscellany is back up after a hacking attack. Still as difficult to navigate as ever, but worth it to keep up to date with the great man's words.

Roberts Radio Ltd. website has an interesting history section.

A reporter tries to find some good in the armpit of America.

Stream of unconsciousness: conversing with Denny's patrons. Denny's is a cafe chain in the US selling fatty sugary food - like MacDonald's but for breakfast.

Worst album covers ever including a link to ten more ghastly images.

The Human Design System seems as bad as Scientology. I wonder why people go for this stuff. HDS is supposed to draw "from science and esoteric wisdom" but no pointer is given to either.

The Hillman Imp as driven by the Man in a Suitcase.
