Don't know if this is new, or if I've just noticed it, but this is quite handy. Dunno how mid atlantic it is, especially the sports bit, but its well worth a look. portal.infoshop.org :: your alternative guide to the Internet

Was a bit surprised that Profane Existence Home Page got no listing in the music section, given that maximumrocknroll and book yr own fuckin life are there, but hey.

Since I'm on the subject, this is probably a good place to mention FLAT EARTH RECS - Sned also keeps a mahussive links list of labels, bands, distros, zines, venues as well as news, gig list, selling stuff, and having some soppy nostalgia pages for scabby old punks, and a few mp3s.

Going back to the infoshop portal, Chuck has a link to librarian.net, so i go for a look cos I haven't been there for a couple of weeks. Jessamyn has also got a links page a lot like the infoshop portal- again loads more use if you're in the states but worth a look for bits and pieces for people in the rest of the world as well.

UK Indymedia - UK Indymedia have a piece today on the release of the Thessaloniki 7, while Scotland Indymedia has stuff from last weeks anti-Bush demos, anti-deportation demos, and listings for Faslane and Bilston Wood anti-road camp.

Some folk have questioned the usefulness of indymedia as people were able to post without there being any moderation. But its a central resource, and you should be checking your sources anyway, boys and girls. I generally view with a pinch of salt, if you see what i mean....

A-Infos: Anarchist News Service is a handy thing, with a choice of languages to view the posts in.

If you haven't been to STREET LIBRARIAN its a massive list of links, basically, librarianship stuff, zines, alternative media, surrealism, comics- and some personal stuff about Chris Dodge, who does the site. I think it was here I first discovered The Modified Librarian, although i couldn't swear by that, it was a while ago.
