My favorite places on the internet.
Far
Shores News and discussion about UFO's, the Paranormal, Earth &
Space Mysteries, Cryptozoology and Conspiracy Theories.
UFO-The official website
A website about UFO, "The Band", not the Flying Saucers.
www.themelvins.net
Originally from Aberdeen Washington, the "Melvins"
were a major influence on many of the successful alternative rock bands of the
early 90's. While a similar level of fame has proven elusive to them, their
contribution to music cannot be ignored.
The County Cork Public House
I can hear you all now; "what's a public house?", or; "does this place sell corks?" A "public house" is another name for a "pub" in places such as Australia and Ireland. "Cork" is the southernmost county in Ireland. Sooooooo, this is an Irish pub, and a damm good one, this is my favorite watering hole, with rarely a yuppie in site, it's just too authentic to attract that crowd THANK GOD! You will find this wonderful bar in the "Fremont" district of Portland, just as tradition would dictate it closes early, midnight on fridays, eleven PM on other nights.
Erin go Bragh!
Blackfoot-The official website
They're back! After disbanding in 1994, an internet petition started by their fans and delivered to the individual band members convinced this rock group to reform in 2004. Sadly drummer Jackson Spires passed away in March 2005, but the band decided to persevere for the time being, with drummer Christoph Ullman.
Pearl Jam - Synergy
Despite the fact that site navigation is a nightmare on this one, "Synergy" is
still my favorite Pearl Jam website (and the official one too). Reliable band
news, loads of the most current concert photos, and the most complete Pearl Jam
related
links (powered by Google), more than make up for other shortcomings.
The Kinks
British rock with a touch of sarcasm,
The Kinks have always been a favorite band of mine, and this site is a keeper.
Carvin Guitar Museum
My favorite electric guitars are "Carvins", nothing else
sounds like a Carvin, nothing else plays like a Carvin.
Frank Marino &
Mahogany Rush - Strange Universe Yes, strange indeed
that there are so many fans of hard psychedelic rock out there who have no
knowledge of Mahogany Rush, or the dizzying guitar wizardry of their frontman Frank
Marino.
Rory
Gallagher - Rory On!
This is my all time favorite guitarist, and my 2nd favorite recording artist
(Beatles being my favorite). He passed away in 1995, but this Irish Bluesman left a legacy of recordings
and concert
hall memories, to a legion of devoted fans. Always
big in Europe, America missed the boat on this one, and that was a titanic loss
for us "Yanks".
Uli Jon Roth - Official Website
I first became aware of Uli when I saw him live in 1976, in those days he was the lead guitarist in a less than well known band called "The Scorpions". My favorite Scorpions material will always be from this period, and the music Uli made after leaving "The Scorpions" has been absolutely phenomenal!
NHRA
Six thousand horsepower behemoths traversing the quarter mile
from a standing start in less than five seconds! NASCAR can' t touch this!
www.superunloader.com It' s so easy to describe the
local music scene in San Diego (there isn't one), so how can a band as
killer as Superunloader can come from a city as lame as San Diego? I don' t know,
but if you ever find yourself down there, see them!, don 't see any other local San Diego band,
just them!
[The Internet Nirvana Fan Club] A very complete website, impressive photo archive,
updated links to other Nirvana sites.
Giant
Radio! A website that showcases local Seattle music.
The Beatles - On Abbey
Road My favorite band, and this site does them
justice. "On Abbey Road" also has descent links to other great "Beatles"
sites as well.
The Northwest BrewPage
The "Great Northwest" region of North America, (Oregon &
Washington of USA, and British Columbia of Canada), the worlds best beers come
from here!
Best of
Led Zeppelin on the Net A list of Led Zeppelin
links on the Internet, and well done too, very necessary due to the
exhaustive list of "Led Zeppelin" related sites hovering around out there.
Deep Purple -
The Highway Star The official website,
one of my favorite bands, their vocalist "Ian Gillian", is my "All Time"
favorite vocalist.
Black Sabbath Online
The "Fathers of Heavy Metal", still my favorite heavy metal band
(Megedeth comes in 2nd).
I was pleased to see them
reunited with original vocalist "Ozzy Osborne", that being said I don' t know what is going on over there now.
Gillan the Hero In
1983, my favorite singer Ian Gillian became the vocalist for Black
Sabbath, unfortunatly this lineup would only last for one album, "Born
Again", and one world tour, but the resulting music was fantastic.
www.MEGADETH.com
Megadeth is back!This is the official website, a lot of great content
is offered here once navigation is figured out. Metalica who?
The Hypertext Who
There are so many "Who" websites out there, it's hard to
decide "what" to do, or "where" to go, but this one is a favorite of mine,
that's
who!
The Randi Rhodes Show
She speaks the truth about the political health of America,
which at this time happens to be very sick!
If you can "handle the truth", then give her a listen,
if you care about returning this country back to what it originally stood
(you know, things like "Freedom of speech", "Human rights", "Due process", "Separation of Church & State" and other American rights guaranteed but under attack),
then you had better make listening to Randi Rhodes priority one!
Alice in Chains - Shame in You This is an
unofficial fan site, very complete with history, news and photos, also a well
researched list of AIC links is available here too.
ZweiHigh
A website for "Zweibrucken American High School" (ZAHS) in Germany. I
loved the school, but wasn' t thrilled with our mascot. Somehow I couldn' t keep a
straight face while holding my fist in the air and screaming "Go Trojans!"
ThinLizzy- A rock legend!
Before his death, original frontman Phil Lynott was asked
how he wanted his band remembered. His reply, "for Thin Lizzy to be
remembered as a great GUITAR band", with a Guitar Alumni spanning such "Big
Guns" as Gary Moore, Brian Robertson, Scott Gorham, Snowy White, and John Sykes,
no problem there!
Robin Trower - Bridge
of Sighs Robin Trower on Guitar, James Dewar on
Bass/Vocals, and Bill Lordan on Drums, this power trio created Psychedelic
Magic! Sadly "James Dewar" passed away in 2002, he was only 59.
Seattle
Sounds Bringing the local Seattle music scene to the world!
New York 911 TRUTH!
We are all familure with the "Official" version of how the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed, but if after reviewing the material on these sites you can STILL believe "THREE" buildings can be brought down in precision "DEMOLITION STYLE" by an impact with "TWO" jet airliners(let me give you a hint, jet fuel is nothing more than highly refined kerosene, thats the same thing as diesel fuel, it burns slowly at a temperture too low to melt steel and DOES NOT EXPLODE! ask any diesel mechanic), I have this awesome deal on a bridge, it would be such a shame for a person of your caliber to miss out on it!(I accept PAYPAL and Postal money orders, EMail me for a quote on that bridge!)
Kelly Richey - Official Website
It's been awhile since I have been stunned by the musicianship of a recent discovery. That's NOT to say Kelly Richey is a newcomer, just new to me, MY shortcoming! I am hearing critical comparisons to Stevie Ray and Jimi Hendrix, I agree with the Hendrix connection, but to me equal amounts of Rory Gallagher's distinct and unique blues approach comes to mind even more than Stevie Ray. Whether influenced directly or secondhand by Rory's style, it is awesome to hear such fire in a current blues guitarist once again, and NOT to hear yet another offering that simply MODELS their style after only ONE obvious blues icon.
Evil GOP Bastards!
