These are links to what I think are the most interesting sites, best timekillers, and the absolute coolest stuff on the internet. As I add them I'll explain why I picked them and the whole list will be complied on the bottom. If you want to point out a great site or have me link to yours please email me and I'll put it here if I like it!

jefitoblog will always be the first website link listed because it's basically the inspiration for me making this website. It's a blog where this guy writes great evaluations of popular and quality music and puts up a bunch of MP3s to illustrate his points. Great reading and great listening! I figured if he could write about music and post MP3s I could too. I aspire to have a site as interesting or as entertaining as jefitoblog.

New Detroit Radio is the brainchild of my old buddy Doc Raymond who is an incredible techno/house DJ. He and his crew broadcast a live radio show every Sunday night. There's also a constant stream of music I've listened in on occasion and although techno/house is not totally my thing, I did enjoy the music I heard and especially the banter between DJs on the live show. The site is down temporarily, but be sure to check it out because it'll be back soon!

last.fm is my favorite website lately. I was introduced to this fantastic site by The Ren late last year. It's a site that keeps track of every tune you play on your computer and produces charts that others can view on a profile you create. You can link up with others based on your shared music preferences. The charts section is very interesting as well, because it reflects what people are choosing to listen to and they have some pretty good taste so far.



Guitar Shred Show is the best site ever to live out your 80's guitar rock god fantasy and it's got entertaining and cool cartoon. This website is a journey into the arts and secrets of exploding solo guitar. It begins with a voyage across an ocean to a mysterious island where you find a Buddha-like figure sitting in lotus position with an electric guitar.

Melty is a music project of DJ Frankie Bishop of San Francisco, California and DJ Bradley Gonzales of San Diego, California. I don't know Brad but I do know Frankie and he certainly is one of the craziest and best-natured guys I've ever met. He is a man of many hats and creating music is just one of his many ventures. I'm not a huge fan of techno, but many people are. I have this link here because Frankie is the first person to ask me to add a link! Here you go, bro. I look forward to catching up with you in Thailand some day.

NYC2123 is an extremely cool online graphic novel that can be read online or downloaded and viewed on a PSP. I became aware of this site because my cousin Nathan knows the creators, Chad Allen & Paco Allen. I've enjoyed reading each new installment in this ambitious tale of New York in the future. The stark black and white design of the comic is reminiscent of rotoscoping animation and it works very well with the bleak setting. I can't wait to see where these guys take the story. Caution: adult language and themes.

Galactica Station is the place to go to read up on everything there is to know about the very best series on television: Battlestar Galactica. It is so hard to get people to really understand just how great this show is until they actually sit back and watch it. I myself have never enjoyed any of the programming on the Sci-Fi network, and in fact downloaded the mini-series of this show just to see how bad it was. After watching the first episodes, I was completely hooked and every week I eagerly await the next episode.

Bendall is created by one hell of a cool guy named Darin Bendall that I met on Koh Samet in Thailand on New Year's Eve on in 2004. He and his girlfriend Cat had been married just the night before and came to party with our mutual friend Ryan. I was lucky enough to be there and we had a ball. Absolutely a great guy and as I found out, an incredibly gifted artist with a site full of his unique and brilliant art. This site is the other inspiration for me to try and create a site of my own.

The Velvet Rope is one of the first regular websites I went to when I first got on the internet in 1996. I read in a magazine on how rock stars, music critics, and record executives were all going there to discuss music and the biz. You had to ask permission in those days to get a password to get in, and I guess I made it because I was a DJ. The site went public, and the important people really aren't there anymore it seems, but there's still great discussion about music and popular culture. I love it.
