Friends and associates
 

Lord Whimsy - stateside dandy, New Escapologist contributor and author of The Affected Provincials Handbook.

Claire Stewart - Bloggery-committing saucepot.

Stewart Lee - Probably my favourite stand-up comedian. I interviewed him once and you can also see me in the audience on his DVD. Wow!

The Mind's Construction Quarterly - The minty-fresh arts/culture magazine edited by Mr. Neil Scott.

Mojo Casino - My friend and frequent Occasional Papers star, Miss Stefanie Clark sings in this band. Apparently I inspired their hilarious song, 'Mancuro, these shoes don't work'.

Ian MacPherson - Brilliant comedian and novellist. He's supporting the debut act of The Crinkle-Cut Man.

Magi Gibson - Super poet and performer.

Stuart Crawford - Crinkle-Cut Photographer

The Idler - Following in the footsteps of Jerome K. Jerome, Bertrand Russell and Samuel Johnson, Tom Hodgkinson's magazine is unsurpassable anti-slavery literature.

Kim and Jason Kotecki - childish hooligans and New Escapologist contributors.

Time Wasting - The homepage and super weblog of the Guardian and Mind's Construction contributor, Rhodri Marsden.

Three of Two. The weblog of my Swedish artist friend known online as Cap_Scaleman. Each entry as bizarre as the last.

Likemind Web Services - A plug. My mate Alfred runs this topnotch web design company.

Pixelmist - A good blog by American comedian and intellectual, Rob Rabiee

Amnesty International and Friends of the Earth are two charities I'm a member of. Why not support them too?

British Humanist Association - Existing to provide an organised humanist presence to combat reactionary religious nonsense. Members include Polly Toynbee, Richard Dawkins and Anthony Grayling. What a great bunch o' lads.

Rob Westwood - my doppelganger

 

 

Things and people I like
 

Dickon Edwards - Musician, writer and self-styled dandy. Super Blog too.

Click Opera - The wonderful weblog of cult superstar, Momus.

Simon Hoggart - The archive of Simon Hoggart's Diary and his other Guardian columns.

Richard Herring - 'Nationally known' stand-up comedian and writer of Talking Cock. The site features his unparalleled daily weblog, Warming Up.

Jon Ronson - Writer of the formidable Men Who Stare at Goats and the enjoyably matter-of-fact column, Out of the Ordinary.

Little White Lies - A really rather good magazine about film and film culture. They even have free .pdf downloads of their back issues.

The Guardian - The newspaper I read with my eyes.

.Cent - Magazine dedicated to creativity.

The Believer - The website of the interesting and well-established Believer arts and culture magazine.

Noam Chomsky - Philosopher, psychologist, linguist and political radical. He also blogs.

The Faucauldian - Site dedicated to the work of Michel Foucault: postmodern philosopher and 'professor of the history of the systems of thought'. He liked to fist men's bottoms, apparently.

A. C. Grayling - Contemporary philosopher, popular essayist and humanist speaker. My favourite essay of his features in The Meaning of Things collection and is called 'Trifles'.

Alain de Botton - I spoke with Alain briefly while working on #1 of The Escapologist. Top bloke.

Wikipedia - The online encyclopaedia written and edited by a million Regular Joes, as predicted by H. G. Wells in The World Brain. This link should open up on the page about the film maker, Edward D. Wood, an article that I wrote a lot of.

Variant - Free Glasgow-based magazine dedicated to all types of culture. Startlingly clever and candid.

Karen - The award-winning magazine about the beauty of the everyday.

Garden Organic - Information about gardening. Has a really useful section called 'What to do in your garden now'.

The Literature Network - Here you can read all the greats for free. So there's really no excuse anymore. Unless you're blind. Or illiterate. Or you dislike reading from the harsh glare of a computer monitor.

Fyodor Dostoevsky - He once wrote a novella which was described by one critic as being 'as repulsive as a corpse'. Everyone's favourite Anti-Semite.

Charlie Brooker - He may be "a scarcely-educated ignoramus who's never read Bleak House" but his Screen Burn book and columns are quite 'perb.

Luke Rhinehart - The original dice man.

Hidden Glasgow - I live in Glasgow. This website details the hidden bits.

Coincidence and 11:11 - Some moronic, paranoid anecdotes about the numbers that obsessed me for a while. Not any more though. No Sir.

[Adult Swim] - Comedy animation including The Brak Show, Sealab 2021 and Tom goes to the Mayor.

Resonance FM - Comedy, discussion and music.

Simon Munnery - Comedian, musician, writer and the most interesting  kettle-hat wearing surrealist I've ever met. The site includes quotes, sounds and scrapbooky archives of reviews and posters et cetera.

Bad Movies Dot Org - Reviews, video clips and all the information you could ever need on history's most terrible 'B's.

The Astounding B-Monster - Webzine featuring news, reviews and obituaries from B-Movie world.

Bad Psychics - A great website for those who want to remain open-minded about preternatural shenanigans but hate all the Most Haunted / Uri Gellar rubbish. Funny, laid back and often angry as the Hulk with an assfull of bumble-bees. I think I wrote an editorial for it once.
