My friends at the news satire magazine wreckered are back in business with a new edition of the magazine (Issue 11) now online and with further monthly editions to follow. Check it out.

sitegeist

thehaar.org
Extremely dry weirdness from the east coast of Scotland. Exemplary design skills and no little comedy talent too in the text. A very fine site.

Team Wonderful
Sublime original comedy by the extraordinary William Andrews. "Brilliant and great".

McMental.co.uk
This is some brilliant inspired animation lunacy. Starring Jox McRox - superstar DJ. Swing around the site's eye candy then make sure you see the webisodes. Mental.

MOJO
The website of the Miscarriage of Justice Organisation (Scotland).

bringdaruckus
Wide-ranging site focussed on the Scottish hip-hop scene (and more).

infinitewheel.com/dubselector
Sensational animated music site where you can mix some dub by interacting with the images.

tps online.org
This is a website that in three clicks will stop those pesky cold calls coming down your telephone (usually when you're about to pile into a big plate of creamed potatoes).

Also, plenty of decent laughs at the website up the top of this page. The red banner thing. Do like Neo - follow the white rabbit..

"F*** The Goatee !"

No apologies on this webzeit for still carrying these pictures of what may be some form of entertainment. In hip-hop style, the extremely hirsute Reverend Obadiah Steppenwolfe |||, Frankie Boyle and Mr Martin Bigpig snapped in mid-song urging the world to F*** The Goatee. This took place in Glasgow before an alarmed audience.

As an owner of a goatee I have mixed feelings about the overt lyric in this song, but yet, in their unique and powerful way, what these men were saying to the world was ultimately less to do with goatees than it was to do with making preparation for the apocalypse.

Given the ethnic diversity of the trio: one tee-total, one degenerate and one Irish, this performance, in March 2005, was nothing less than a clarion call for the disenfranchised to rise up against the yoke of conformity and to singe the beard of the oppressor.
