You can have your psalms and your John 3:16.
Austen 3:16 says,
"It was her own universal good-will and contented temper which worked such
wonders!"
Stone
Cold is between gigs now, since she was too hardcore for
WWF,
but not psychotic enough for ECW.
In the meantime, visit the El
Gecko Home Page, hideous thing that it is. I put it together at work
on company time, you really can't expect brilliance under those circumstances.
I mean, look at the actual work produced...
Like most people with cheap space for personal web sites, I tend to
ramble.
I would rant, but can't work up the enthusiasm.
Like most people with vanity
web sites, I have very little content. Also, the site design is
curiously familiar. . .
Feel free to ignore the lists below; they're for my benefit, since I'm
too lazy to update all the bookmarks in all the browsers in all the operating
systems on all the computers I use.
Just so you know what you're in for, this is what I've been using as the
wallpaper/background image on my work computer. It was not, as many of
my co-workers believe, taken in my neighborhood.
The image gallery at Photo.net is
strongly recommended for all your image needs. It is a much finer
web site than this one. In fact, why are you still here?
The Boondocks is the funniest, truest
comic strip I have ever had the privelege to read. Inexplicably, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune runs the
strip daily, and it can be found
here. Sort of.
Africana.com, which I actually found on
the Boondocks link page. See how great they are? Go visit 'em. Oh, Africana?
It's the web site for the controversial
Microsoft encyclopedia of all things African.
D.I.Y. Computer links
ZDNet Webopoædia Definitions
of computer terms, and links to sources of more in-depth info.
The Moon Seven Times have broken
up. I am the kiss of death for bands I like. I suck. There's a review of
the late band here.
Rising from the ashes, we now have:
Shotgun Wedding
with Lynn Canfield and the ubiquitous Brendan Gamble
Lanterna, the instrumental
stylings of Henry Frayne
Over the Rhine are still together, but the breathtakingly lovely page previously
found here
is gone. The archive for the mailing
list is still up, though. Also, duh, there's a page up at the unlikely
URL of http://www.overtherhine.com.
I had Jell-O today. It had fruit in it.
Also, Karin and Linford tour with
Cowboy Junkies quite a bit.
Amasong Champaign-Urbana's
Premier Lesbian/Feminist Chorus
Beezus has broken up,
but you can still buy their stuff as atoms from
Parasol Mail Order or as bits from
EMusic. Regardless, my
suckage still continues.
Sister Soleil
as far as I can tell, has no Brendan Gamble connection. Except MSL playing
a show with Lanterna, and Brendan played drums on Henry's album, and Preston
played with Sister Soleil... Perhaps I'm thinking about this too much...
The official site is, temporarily, down, so that's a link to the official
fan club site. Tentative new album title: "Yummy". That wacky Stella.
My Scarlet Life Okay, I lied before.
What I said. It wasn't true. I had heard of
Big
Hat, before they broke up, on the Ecto mailing list. All academic
now, as MSL has broken up. Get out your scorecards, this gets a bit
involved:
One of the fragments is named Scarlet Life. But they don't do My Scarlet Life songs. The
resemblance is purely coincidental.
Julie, one of the lead vocalists, now fronts a band called
Jute.
Christy, the other lead vocalist, along with Amy and Paul, have run
off to become Lotus
There's also
Pointy Teeth and
Karma Sutra. Basically, they're everywhere. You cannot fling a cat
without hitting a band composed of former MSL members.
Emmylou Harris' Wrecking
Ball was co-produced by Trina Shoemaker, who also did production work
for Over the Rhine and The Moon Seven Times, which gives Emmylou
an indirect Brendan Gamble connection as well. Okay, I'll stop.
Public Enemy's site offers
whenever-he-damn-well-feels-like-writing-one columns by Chuck D
Tricky covered P.E.'s Black
Steel (in the Hour of Chaos) on Maxinquaye, for those who feel there should
be some connection between things in this list.
Happy Rhodes, an amazingly talented singer/songwriter with an astonising
vocal range (random comment about one of her songs:
"Who's that guy singing with Kate Bush?")
Scrawl on working with Elektra: "We're not
as young as they probably would have liked us to be. And I don't think we're
willing to go braless on the cover of Rolling Stone."
Annie DeFazio, some folksinger that the kids seem to be into these days
Meshell Ndegéocello has a new
cd called "Bitter". What can you add to that, really?
Playstation Links
PSMOnline is once again the web
site for PSM, Playstation Magazine, so you might want to go here
instead...
The Escaflowne Compendium
covers the various versions of the trop-belle-por-trois show.
Anime Theme features the most
creative use of Dynamic HTML I've ever seen, but perhaps I just don't
get out much. There are also wallpaper galleries and Windows desktop
themes galore.
Arial
Testsuo Shrine dedicated to Fluke's purple-haired, megalomaniacal mascot.
You know, the one who got an atom bomb...
Official CLAMP Page (it helps
to have Japanese fonts installed). The four-woman manga team responsible
for Magic Knight Rayearth (currently serialized in the US in Mixxzine),
as well as X (available
from Viz as X:1999 in the states).
Tarot readings. And
a link for I Ching, if that's more your tastes.

Please notify Aaron Hawkins if
you find any broke links, think there are better sites covering the same
info, or just have contructive criticism to offer. I know I should try
to describe the music of the bands listed above, since at the moment if
you don't know who they are already, you'd see no reason to find out more.
Trouble is, I suck at describing music. Erm. Just imagine overuse of the
words "ambient", "trippy" and/or "punk" and you'll have an idea of what
you're in for. One day there will be actual content here, rather than a
page of links. Honest.
Pointless counter deleted, because, really, who cares?
Fine, if you're that interested, you or someone like you has hit RELOAD
times. Feel better now?
