Here is some stuff wot I like:
Audio/Music:
www.skirenko.net - My music site where you can listen to clips and mail-order my album Jigsaw Mind on CD.
www.myspace.com/skirenko - I'm not sure why I've got a myspace page but I do. Maybe it'll prove useful. I doubt it.
www.xoxos.net - Interesting and unique freeware/donation VST instruments by the characterful xoxos.
www.walido.com - The music of Walido.
www.futurehaus.com - A collective of musicians of which I am a member.
www.samplesquad.com - An audio sample retail site with percussion products created by Shane Sanders and myself.
www.kvraudio.com - A vibrant music technology discussion forum where musicians and producers of all backgrounds and ability levels discuss all manner of things.
Visual:
www.shanesanders.com - Shane Sanders' online portfolio of art, design and music.
Political:
In an era where media consolidation is occurring at an all-too rapid pace it's essential to look for alternative news sources that are free from corporate bias. The future of our rather stupid species depends on it.
www.democracynow.org - Fantastic alternative news source, hosted by Amy Goodman. Very well worth checking out.
www.spiderednews.com - Portal that very usefully organises a wide range of news.
www.georgegalloway.com - A unique politician who's always interesting, whether or not you agree with his views.
www.stopwar.org.uk - The Stop The War Coallition website.
Ethical clothing:
I don't claim to have extensive knowledge of labour conditions in the factories used by every high-street clothing brand, but my impression is that gross exploitation is the order of the day. In recent years I've noticed a lot of new fairtrade clothing retailers appearing, and to give them our patronage benefits everyone in the long term.
www.naturalcollection.com - Some really nice clothes here; lots of hemp stuff.
www.nosweatapparel.com - I bought a hoodie from here and it's very nice. So nice that here's an equally nice Big Logo:
Other:
www.myspace.com/skirenko - I've also got a standard myspace page. No idea why. I've filled it with nonsense for my own amusement. Maybe I'll start blogging, just to add my own verbal excrement to the sea of rubbish that already exists.
