HeadCleaner
the uk-based alternative music webzine
Links
Of course, HeadCleaner is the only place you'd ever really want to visit, but it's good to get out and about now and again. I suggest you take a tour of these scenic sites. The bus leaves in 10 minutes...
The Roadhouse
It's the best venue in Manchester - it's The Roadhouse, promoting new music not just in the MCR, but UK-wide. Pay em a visit, and tell em we sent ya.
 
Transcopic Records
Transcopic Records were set up by Graham from Blur, home to Assembly Line People Program, Ooberman and more. Although the site's not brilliantly designed, it's great to see a big shaker in the biz put something back into the industry by signing obscure bands that you would have passed by otherwise. And if you see Niamh, say hi. You can order Transcopic singles from Rough Trade.
 
The Cleaners
Scotland's very own answer to five old men in a room drinking meths and shouting a lot, The Cleaners are your new favourite band. Seldom have I seen site design of this quality before. And that C Ray Dancer looks a helluva nice guy. Be happy, be Clean.
 
Kylie
Not just because Kylie's so Kool, but also cos this site is one of the best designs I've seen out there for a long time. Plus, anything that allows you to dress Kylie in a French maid's outfit is ok by me.
 
Console Domain
Video games are the new rock and roll, which is the main reason things are sometimes late on HeadCleaner...now, if I can just get Lara Croft to hang off that ledge by her toenails...
 
Amazon.com
Buy CDs and books from the states, at reduced prices - then pay postage and packing rates and wait two weeks for them to arrive. Crazily enough, it still works out cheaper.
