Enough
Rope's MySpace page - A new place to get a fix of
Enough Rope, the latest, hottest mp3s will probably be
up here. Unless I foget about it or something. If any
of y'all have a myspace account, add me!
Jonnyhead's livejournal - All the exciting happenings
in jonnyhead's brain get collected about once a week and
dumped here. Go there and there'll probably be some link
pimping this site. Cool!
enoughrope.iuma - lots of early-ish Enough Rope mp3s
are stored here, however for a long time the server has
been so fucky as to be almost completely useless. Try
it though, you never know.
Psychotic
Cushion Records - the official site of the Psychotic
Cushion Records label, home to Enough Rope and several
other made-up bands with stupid names. You can find interesting
things here, if you look really hard.
The
old enough rope site - travel back in time, as if
by magic, in order to experience enough rope's humble
internet beginnings. this old site was self-built, which
is why it looks rubbish, but if pointless nostalgia is
your bag, then this'll be right up your proverbial alley.
There's actually some different content, or will be until
Geocities remove it. Ha!
Koala
Gateaux Ambush - Home to the world's second-favourite
animal/cake crossover band, after their parent band, Panda
Flan Attack. You probably came from here, though.

Tina
Toth - Tina is great at very many things. Some of
these things can be found on her super-cool site. She's,
like, a proper artist, and all my covers that are any
good were done by her. She also designed this site for
me, cos she's sweet and I'm lazy. I'm not biased about
her, even though she is my girlfriend. Tina's site has
now changed to a funky gallery and has forsaken the heartwarming
Enough Rope music it used to use. But I'm not bitter,
I stroll on, man.
Cactus
- the closest thing there is to an official Enough Rope
forum, this is the forum run lovingly by Tina and myself.
Internet legend has it that Cactus is merely a hangout
for perverts, but this is far from certain. You need to
sign up, but once Interpol and the CIA have run background
checks and I've performed an invasive cavity search you
should have the all-clear unless you're clealy a wrong'un.
Seriously, join, we're all lovely.
52
Teenagers - the official site of Manchester's 52 Teenagers,
an excellent band who are still my mates despite being
ridiculously talented and handsome. Once they get signed
they won't talk to me any more, but until that happens
and I organise a boycott, check them out! Tina designs
this.
PTA
- the official site of rockin' local band PTA. So local,
in fact, their guitarist lives in my fucking house! This
band are much better than 'go here, it's my brother's
rock band' makes it sound, but go here, it's my brother's
rock band.
Audiojunkies
- a music site where cheapo music thieves like you can
plot ways to steal artists' hard work without adequate
compensation. Why don't you get a fucking job, layabouts?
Anyway, this site is run by internet celebrity, friend
of the stars and Enough Rope acquaintance Jed Shepherd,
and the layout is once again the work of Tina Toth's delicate
hands. I post on the forum here and have contributed a
lengthy review of Japanese band Mono, and may do more
one day even though they don't pay you shit.
Adam Cooney - second most talented photographer I
know (after Tina), and all-round good egg Adam 'Damon
Acejoy' Cooney uses this link as a repository for all
kinds of funky band photos. None of which are of Enough
Rope.
Panda
Flan Attack - BigChris works the controls of this
site, which is powered using only natural, environmentally
sound methods, including using roadkill. Well, it's already
dead!
Cook'd And Bomb'd/Verbwhores - Peter Cook/Chris Morris-based
comedy site, whose Verbwhores forums receives my presence,
whereupon I did once submit a track for inclusion on a
forum compilation (see status page). The forums are full
of obscure music and links to comedy and lots of serious
debate and shit, check it.

Bands/labels/music etc |

MF
Doom - Metal Face, the rapper's rapper, underground
hip-hop hero and veteran of early 90s group KMD, now putting
out prodigious levels of dopeness under aliases including
King Geedorah and Viktor Vaughn as well as under his own
name and collaborations including DangerDoom (with Dangermouse)
and Madvillain (with the equally legendary Madlib), whose
'Madvillainy' album from '04 is certified as a stone-cold
fucking classic on my stereo at least.
Dotshop.se - these guys hooked me up swiftly with
a copy of World's End Girlfriend's 'The Lie Lay Land'
after some unsuccessful attempts to get it from Japan.
Everything on the site is ready to send unless otherwise
stated and so I got it all the way from Sweden in 3 working
days! Swish! Nice prices as well, check it if there's
something obscure you're trying to chase down.
Boomkat
- the online home of Pelicanneck Records in Manchester,
my favourite independent record store. Sign up to their
mailing list and you'll get a nice email with great write-ups
of all the latest leftfield releases. Top-drawer shizzle!
Piccadilly Records - Manc's other finest indie store,
another place well worth getting on the mailing list for
to keep band up-to-date with the new shit.
Hood - a big influence recently, Leeds band Hood make
wintry electronic-tinged indie music, only really really
good. 'Cold House' and 'Outside Closer' are the starting
points.
Gang Gang Dance - genre-bending madness on The Social
Registry, check out their eponymous album and the glorious
'God's Money', then shoot your experimental wad all over
the carpet.
fbcfabric - ace Shadow-meets-Kranky post-rock/hip
hop fandangle, fbcfabric's new album with Reindeer, 'It's
Not Who You Know, It's Whom You Know' is an epic. Think
Godspeed, think Atmosphere, think RJD2, think lots of
things, but check it out.
The Chap - excellent British art-rock/electronic outfit
whose album 'Ham' gets a massive thumbs-up from me. And
these thumbs are worth gold, man.
Mono - a band that most people don't know, so I took
it upon myself to pimp them. Signed to the Tzadik label,
they're a four-piece Japanese post-rock band in the vein
of Mogwai or something. They have a guitarist called Yoda!
You know you wanna check it out.
NNCK
- or The No-Neck Blues Band, a New York Collective whose
fucked-up and largely critically derided 2003 album 'Intonomancy'
was an influence on some of the weirder edges of my shit.
Dälek
- brutal-on-the-ears industrial rock meets gravitas-filled
rap. In the future.
The
Necks - Australian band who make massive extended
jazz soundscapes, usually hitting the 60-minute mark.
Some beautiful stuff.
Anticon
- this is a super-cool avant hip-hop label, and you learn
all about cLOUDDEAD, Themselves, Alias, Sage Francis,
Doseone, Why? etc. Go here and buy their CDs and then
you'll be cool enough to hang out with me.
Constellation
- go here for Canadian music. Wait! Come back! This is
actual decent music by Canadians, surprisingly. Godspeed
You Black Emperor! live here along with Do Make Say Think
and Hangedup and Sofa and loads of other bands. Stop listening
to Stereophonics and go here, you twat.
Saul
Williams - poet, rapper, actor and all round dude.
Check him out.
The
Tool Page - my favourite unofficial band site on the
net, containing all you needed to know about what Tori
Amos thinks is so good about Maynard's cookery skills,
and other things. Huge site about a great band (Tool,
that is).

Bob
Kolody - i have a song named after him, so it seems
fair to link to his story here. He's a guy who it seems
is getting royally screwed over in a secret multi-million
dollar lawsuit against Coca-Cola. It's complicated. Get
a cup of coffee and read through this if you're bored.
GNN
- if you're the sort of person who sits around getting
pissed off at George W Bush, go here. Loads of left-wing
news and opinions for the Chomsky in you. I go in the
forum here occasionally.
Independent
Media Center - more news you won't find through the
normal channels. Form opinions based on this.
