Music

Michael L. Smith	The more I listen to the music of this composer, the more I like it. There are several midi files on the site - listen especially to "Janizad" and "The Moons of Jupiter".
David W. Solomons	An interesting British composer. MIDI and Real Audio samples of the music - and while you are there, have a look at his mother's paintings.
Charles-Valentin Alkan	Information about this eccentric composer, whose music surely ranks with that of Chopin and Liszt.
Havergal Brian	The official Havergal Brian web site, with a wealth of material about this individualistic composer.
Minna Keal	Biographical information about this impressive British composer.
The Berkshire Recorder Consort	This is a local group to which I once more belong.
The Classical Midi Archive	An amazing collection of MIDI classical music from the famous to the obscure. It takes a while to load, but it's worth the wait.
The Classical Midi Collection	A smaller site than the one above, but they do include some contemporary music.
The Standard Music Venue, London E.17	You can hear all kinds of live music here. I have in the past spent some happy hours here drinking absinthe and listening to tribute bands with names like "Pink Fraud" and "The Rolling Clones".
Ethan Winer	When he's not running his software company he's designing and building synthesisers, writing books on programming languages, building recording studios - oh, and writing the occasional cello concerto. A very interesting site with some good music samples.

Search Engines

Dogpile	Dogpile is a kind of meta-search-engine, and will do its search utilizing other engines, and come back with many results in seconds. I find I use it less nowadays, because many of its searches come back with directories rather than pages.
Google	A search engine that seems very efficient, and has a nice, uncluttered interface. I find as I use Dogpile less, so I use Google more.
Alltheweb	Another good general search engine. It can come up with some excellent results.
Gigablast	Gigablast is a search engine that at the time of writing exists only in beta form. But it's already showing signs of being an excellent engine.
Mooter	A curious search engine that returns its results in graphical form, and aims to provide results in useful clusters rather than lists.

General sites

Campaign for Unmetered Telecommunications	Always nice when a campaign closes down because its objectives have been met. The web site remains as an historical document
Feminists Against Censorship	A useful watchdog on censorship issues. You can register, and receive updates
The Booty Web Site	Pace Americans, you'll have to go to the site to see where it got the name. This is a family who live not far from me. Basically a meteorological site, with more information than you are ever likely to need - minutely detailed meteorological statistics about Bracknell's weather going back several years. The son, Wayne Rowley, is a composer and there are links to his music sites.
New Worlds	New Worlds - the magazine with which I used to be involved.
The Terminal Café	An essential site for those interested in the work of Michael Moorcock
The Bad Writing Contest	Paradigmatic exemplification of infra-syntactical enunciation
Second Life	The last 3D virtual world that I recommended here turned into a totalitarian nightmare. I am now a resident of Second Life, which has an altogether more relaxed character. Its two main strengths lie in the building and scripting tools available to all residents.
The Butt Pages	The famous 'strange things that people have put up their bottoms' site. Remember - you found it here!

Bracknell History	A section of the Britannia site which has some information about Bracknell's past.
