Music Links
Electrico
Homegrown band that needs no introduction.
Esprit International Limited
No not the clothing store, this Kent/UK based music store has a vinyl and CD
catalog spanning the 60s till today. You will not find cheap buys since they
do their homework, although you can find super rare items.
The Great Spy Experiment
Powerpop rockers with a firm place in the Singapore indie scene.
The Fabulous IQ Of David Gunn
X'Ho's conceptual art rock/performance band. They're very...well...just...
out there. Awesomeness.
GEMM
Super large worldwide marketplace where you can find pretty much any LP, EP,
12", 7", 78, CD...you get my drift. They have sections for books and videos,
but you'll want the music section mostly. Please read their rating system.
Prices are fixed by the sellers. But some steals can be found.
I Am David Sparkle
Local post-rockers's MySpace page. Give them a listen if you haven't. You may
get some ideas too.
Muon
Local ambient, soundscaping band that shaped the way I dreamt about Kitty's
story arc in All Things Being.
Pet Shop Boys
PSB Official Site. What's neat about it is that you can listen to almost ALL
of their tracks (even remixes) using their embedded jukebox. Click on Navigation > Product.
The Teenagers
Sick French trio cranking out infectious beats and riffs under irreverent
spoken word stylings.
Vampire Weekend
New York band that I am liking very much right now. Love that beat.
Arcade/Video/Web Game Links
Alien Hominid
One of the most awesome Metal Slug/Contra clones on flash. Can you even clear
stage 1?

I am still playing this everyday even though I'm not very good at it. Can you
find out where I stand in the world DAN rankings? My DJ name is...
Boxhead: The Zombie Wars
Blast through swarms of the undead and stay alive in this top down blast-fest featuring
the Boxhead characters.
Death Village
Help a poor explorer through haunted houses to the exit. Use your mouse to
interact with the surroundings and guide/scare him out.
Hikkoshi Poru Poru
Moving sucks, especially when you have to run after your girlfriend's truck
as furniture falls out, moles pop up from the ground, crows attack and all you
can do is press spacebar to jump.
Jinsei Owata No Daibouken
The Adventure To End Your Life! Z=jump, X=shoot, R=restart, arrow keys to move.
You will die.
Line Rider
Draw a simple line, or an elaborate one, and watch the little guy on the sled
experience this thing called gravity.
The Magic Box
Where I get the latest international video game news. Website doesn't look
fancy but does a great job of covering Japanese, US and EU releases, including
arcade games.
Megamen Vs Metroid
Excellently built game that captures both franchises accurately in music, SFX,
graphics and game mechanics.
Mekuri Master
Mekrui means turn/roll up/flip in Japanese. What do you flip up, do you ask?
Why, schoolgirls' skirts, that's what! Be a skirt flipping master!
NTSC-UK
English video game review site that covers games from all regions albeit at
sporadic intervals.
Paper Mario World
A really neat flash version of Paper Mario, with music and all.
Portal 2D
Valve's immensely popular first person puzzler, now in 2D!

Do you like to bitch slap? This is it. THE bitch slapping game that gets me
every time. Last boss is a bitch.

Superb site that collects almost every game released on every Sega console
from the Master System to the Dreamcast. For the Sega nuts.
Space Capstar II
Guide Randolph's pod into the heart of K9 to mine for Red Krypton while trying
not to deplete your fuel and making it back to dock with the Capstar II. Higher
game levels yield more stages.
Street Fighter III Third Strike Guide
It seems this guy has found a way to explain how to get better at playing SFIII.
Let's hope he updates it more.
SuperPlay!
Database of avi movie files showing god-players doing 1CC clears of arcade shooters
and some other games.
System 16

arcade museum to go to. Database covers boards from 1966 onwards.

quintessential shooting game companies of all time.
Singapore-centric Links
The Fool's Progress

My booth buddy at the comic con. His cuts are really good. Not for the innocent.
So be forewarned.
Lush 99.5 FM
Pretty much the default radio station I Iisten to whenever there is no vinyl
on the decks or CD in the players.
Sinema Old School
Cozy little cinema atop a hill that screens local films. Quite a wonderful
venue to simply walk around as well.
