These are some of our favourite places on the Internet and also in the real world. Email us with your suggestions. 

Music

• Hank - the website of our friends across the water. Cab Williamson lives!

• Mantler - a fine gentleman who deserves better than a mere MySpace page

• Cab Williamson's Waxworks - the site of one of Britain's most deservedly obscure bands. They didn't last.

• Delia Derbyshire - a woman whose genius is still not recognised. Some staggeringly beautiful music on here.

• Ether.Net - tribute site for the BBC Radiophonic Workshop whom we deeply loved.

• Stereolab - sadly they are no more and their once magnificent website is now a mere shadow. We still love them though.

• Trunk Records - don't you just love 'em?

• Moon Wiring Club - if my life were to flash before my ears, it would probably sound like this.

• Dead Sea Apes - I'm friends with the bass player. #shamelessnamedropping

Places

• The Cornerhouse - the best place in Manchester. 

• Nexus Art Café - the real hidden gem in Manchester.

• Victoria Baths - the best building in Manchester.

• Pistyll Rhaeadr - cool waterfall in the middle of Wales. There's a St. Bernard who hangs around the car park with a goat.

• Carrog Mill Cottages - lovely place to stay in North Wales (we've no business relationship with them, we just like it there.)

Things We Believe In

• False Economy - tracking the impact of the British "Coalition" Government's cuts to public services.

• Liberty - champions of human rights, not the makers of bodices...

• Life Squared - helping you live well in the modern world

• New Humanist - excellent and often highly entertaining magazine of the Rationalist Association

• Action for Sustainable Living

• Amnesty International UK

• Friends of the Earth

• Age UK

• Action on Elder Abuse

• The Vegetarian Society

• Ethical Consumer

• MERCi - campaigning for a more sustainable world by actually doing stuff. 

• Manchester Alliance for Community Care

• Manchester Community Central

Other Stuff

• Public Eye - an introduction to a wonderful British TV series which is largely forgotten these days, despite starring the magnificent Alfred Burke (RIP February 2011)

• KRISTAL Audio Engine - this is a very simple but wonderful and FREE recording workstation. The sort of thing we never dared dream of when we were fifteen.

• Network DVD - they release all kinds of old British TV shows just for the sheer love of it. They cost me a fortune.
