DARK CAPTAIN LIGHT CAPTAIN TAKES DOGONAUT FOR A WALK THROUGH THEIR WORLD...
Driven by a quest for a killer vocal harmony and a constant desire to make their hearts beat ever so slightly faster than normal, Dark Captain Light Captain offer up their much anticipated debut album ‘Miracle Kicker’. The sentiment of their songs ranges from malignant and accusatory to wildly optimistic, with comparisons varying from Kings Of Convenience to The Violent Femmes.
"In an increasing world of electro beats and synthesizers Dark Captain Light Captain offer a depth and substance beyond the label of their clothes or brightness of their jeans and trainers. "

The self-reported life/love tribulations of an all-too-sensitive London man with a self-proclaimed “face like a bag of elbows”. Heartfelt, honest, funny and truly perceptive writing. I’m pretty hooked.
Nicholas Gurewitch is a comic artist whose work has appeared in The Guardian in the UK, as well a few North American newspapers. This, his homepage, collates his often brilliantly macabre strips. You’ll easily lose an afternoon looking at this.
Brilliantly written music blog with a penchant for the obscure and under-represented. I’ve discovered many gems here.
Online shop belonging to Lo Recordings, one of the finest independent labels in the UK. Apparently you can buy Dark Captain Light Captain records and t-shirts from here. I don’t believe it myself – you had better click to make sure.
Hip-hop explained in handy graph form. Self-explanatory, really!
Internet scams, despite most of them being more ridiculous and unbelievable than a rabbit in a tuxedo, rake in millions of dollars per year from the more gullible – though completely innocent – end of society. Happily, there is a small yet dedicated community of well-drilled individuals who are regularly making scammers’ lives complete misery, and having a right bloody laugh as they do so. Read the “Hall Of Shame” page and then spend a while on the forums.
If you’ve ever had a flatmate who regularly left you notes relating to household duties which – although basically civil on the surface – were imbued with a seething undercurrent of bitterness, anger and hatred, then this site’s for you.
Supporting Tottenham Hotspur as I do, my life is a tapestry of tiny disappointments, punctuated by the occasional massive, all-consuming high. This is where I come to remonstrate, debate and rationalise with my fellow journeymen as we wait for the next peak.
Another site you can get lost in for ages. Thousands of photographic curios from across the Atlantic.
My daughter was recently 2, and is currently extremely taken with the above-named rotund quartet, so I probably visit here more than any of the other sites I’ve named! According to the blurb, the Teletubbies live in a magical world where they have everything they need. Difficult to argue with that, really, although – being a staunch Darwinist – I just wonder where they’ve come from.
