ASSORTED OTHER MUSICAL STUFF WE DIG
The Acute: abrasive, intense New wave goodness, about to drop from Scotland.
David Bowie:if we at Stay Beautiful are anything, we are above all Bowieists.
The Dresden Dolls: genius "Brechtian punk cabaret" duo.
El Presidente: a Scottish Scissor Sisters, anybody?
Franz Ferdinand: the thinking man's indie megaband.

Manic Street Preachers: without them, SB wouldn't exist... or at least, we'd be called something else.
Mansun: ...and without the Mansun fans, we've never have survived our first fortnight.
Fatherf*cker.net: Flash animation fun, getting Peaches to jiggle her tits and swear a lot. As if she doesn't do enough of that sort of thing already...
Prince: the nearest thing to God. Unfortunately his official site requires paid membership, so try this instead.
Sparks: the most underrated band of the glam and electro eras, still going strong.
The London Suede: for people who can't quite bring themselves to accept The Tears.
This Is Romo: a look back at the short-lived but glorious mid-nineties Romantic Modernist scene, including Simon Price's Arcadia club.

T.Rex/Marc Bolan: this fansite to the Glam Rock god is better than the official one.
The Vichy Government: Jamie Manners' synthpop controversialists.

THINGS TO LOOK AT
Heike Schneider-Matzigkeit: Beautiful photography site from Heike, an SB regular. Features pictures of bands such as Queen Adreena and Rachel Stamp among other things.
Rattail.Net: Jim Rattail is a living legend, the fly-on-the-wall photographer with the distinctive hairstyle who documents London nightlife using a discreet hip-mounted camera. Expect low-angle pictures of yourself, which you didn't even know had been taken. Especially if you're an attractive female...
Jim Rattail Tribute Site!: Yes, the Cult Of Rattail is so widespread that the man has his own online shrine, complete with sightings, anecdotes, and taste-of-his-own-medicine candid camera snaps.

THINGS TO READ
AbiSti: interview with Simon Price: a mostly Manics-related interview with our resident best-selling author, dated from around the time of his book.
Groupie Central: and you thought the JDB site was weird. Fantasies and fisherman's tales from rock's Backdoor Betties. Don't believe a word...
Jump The Shark: intense debate over the precise moment when various television programmes went downhill.
Simon Reynolds: Blissed Out: the greatest living music journalist, writing mainly about dance music in a cerebral, analytical manner. Sounds impossibly dull. Isn't.
The Smoking Gun: a conspiracy theorist's paradise, overflowing with Top Secret documents, highlights including pop stars' ludicrous backstage riders, celebrity police mugshots, and some interesting stuff about the Michael Jackson wrongcock allegations.
Snopes: fascinating website devoted to debunking - and in some cases confirming - conspiracy theories on anything from 9/11 to Michael Jackson's nose.
Stop The War speaks for itself.

FUNHOUSE
Anal Hospital: reach out and dread Taylor Parkes's site. (Not recommended for those on monitored internet access, or of a nervous disposition.)
Richard Geefe: Second Class Male/Time To Go: "The door of my flat is opened by a bird in T-shirt and pants. I'd forgotten about her". The absolute truth about men and women and life and death, from the greatest newspaper columnist of all time. Shame he never existed.
Crucify.Com: talk to Our Lord And Saviour about anything you like. And search for words like "buttock" in the Bible.
Dean And Nigel Blend In!: doing impressions of old people. Incredibly childish. Unimaginably funny.
The Onion: "National Funk Congress Deadlocked On Get Up/Get Down Issue", "Local Anorexic Still 'Way Too Fat'" and the like, from America's finest news source.
1000 People More Annoying Than Mick Hucknall: an interactive database of the world's most irritating celebrities. The Sarah Jessica Parker thread is a classic.
