So Tamara sent this around yesterday, in the interests of procrastination at work - jacksonpollock.org - and I promised to make a list of my own favourite internet distractions, and here we are (it's pretty words-focused, but I guess that's how I usually distract myself, one way or another):
~~ Culture, etc ~~
Bookslut
Cokemachineglow
McSweeneys archives and lists
Pitchfork
Popmatters
Stylus
Wikipedia
~~ Webcomics ~~
Cat and Girl
Dinosaur Comics
Questionable Content
Scary Go Round
Wondermark
[A Softer World]
~~ mp3 blogs ~~
Angels Twenty
PopText
The Rich Girls Are Weeping
Vain, Selfish & Lazy
[and plenty of others - but those four are the ones that come to mind when I think about writing and layout, as opposed to just the music itself]
