~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The music business is a
cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and
pimps run free and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative
side." (Hunter S. Thompson) Originally set up to
promote the music of Listen With Sarah, Womb is expanding its repertoire with
a series of releases from other artists - Ergo Phizmiz and Codex Machine, for
starters. Womb is run by Peter and Sarah Nelson. We are dedicated to as great a variety as possible. Our only
qualification is that the music is individual. Find out more
at: www.wombrecords.com & WombSpace. Non-commercial
freeform radio station broadcasting LIVE
on the web (+ New York City &
Hudson Valley). Wonderfully eclectic shows. One of my favourites is CHARLIE on MONDAYS,
but they’re all excellent… Extensive on-site archives and playlists. Listen
live and later, again and again and again. Check out Beware
of the Blog for weird and wonderful mp3 downloads.
Mind-cleansing radio!

WFMU… aka Vicki Bennett (Queen of Plunderphonics). Complete audio works

‘Plunderphonics’… “Bannedmusic.org
is a peer-to-peer collaboration that makes it impossible for the major record
labels to ban or censor musical works. When record labels send legal threats
to musicians, record stores, or websites, we will post the music here for
download and publicize the censorship attempt.” “A compilation of songs that have been the subject of lawsuits, primarily
for unauthorized sampling. Includes music by Negativland, Biz Markie, The
Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and De La Soul. This is an audio history of
banned music. For the history of each song, be sure to read the liner notes.” The Evolution Control Committee ~ Plagiarhythmic music ~ “Copyright
Violation For The Nation” Negativland

has faced several major copyright lawsuits for sample-based music. UbuWeb

Records - “Slapping the thighs of melody” “The loveliest &

hop, electro, IDM & alternative beats..... to alt country &
experimental sweets. Vinyl, cds and DVD's from around the world. Delivered to

and “Duotone.” Check out the free mp3 download compilation on the catalogue

- “It’s exactly what the NME used to be!” Monthly independent UK magazine covering the kind
of music John Peel played as well as material he’d never heard of. Strong
opinions, passionate reviews, ranting, swearing and shouting.
Re-fuckin’-freshing. Resources for a DIY
record label, publisher and music site. Very helpful if you’re thinking about
releasing your own music. Miscellaneous Links: The
Lazyman’s Guide To Enlightenment By Thaddeus Golas (1972) : “I am a lazy man. Laziness keeps me from believing that enlightenment demands effort, discipline, strict diet, non-smoking, and other evidences of virtue. That's about the worst heresy I could propose, but I have to be honest before I can be reverent. I am doing the work of writing this book to save myself the trouble of talking about it.” A web site
dedicated to rethinking the work ethic; a collection of reflections,
rants, theories, articles, quotes, experiences and links. Support the Ludic
Revolution and join The Leisure Party. “In these
languid midsummer days, humans who feel the urge to take it easy but remain
burdened by a recalcitrant work ethic might do well to consider that laziness
is perfectly natural, perfectly sensible, and shared by nearly every other
species on the planet.” “Busy bees are
not always busy. We think that they are, because that's when we notice them.
Mostly they are doing nothing - not necessarily sleeping, just being, and
definitely not working. There's something to be unlearnt and a myth to be
exploded.” In 1974 the results of ‘The Milgram Experiment’
were published in Harper's Magazine. The article was abridged and
adapted from Obedience to Authority (1974) by Stanley Milgram. A
disturbing and essential read for all human beings. “a web magazine with
a wealth of ideas and gimmicks for navigating the crazy, paranoid, work-obsessed, media-crapulent times we live
in.” Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Adbusters is a
not-for-profit, reader-supported, 120,000-circulation magazine concerned
about the erosion of our physical and cultural environments by commercial
forces. Bill Hicks ~ guffaw at
the wisdom of Goatboy and remember, ‘it’s just a ride…’ Astrology as it really is ~ have a good laugh at yourself, it’s healthy.
