Cats, London and other things that make the world better.

Things that are Other

 

A Case of Curiosities - Strange, haunting and beautiful taxidermy and other art.

 

Book Happy - The connoisseur bibliophile's fanzine put together by kookologist extraordinaire Donna Kossy.

 

Brian's Page of Antique Weirdness - Cool old, rude, rude, filthy rude stuff. You've been warned.

 

Entrances to Hell - Photographing the UK's gateways to Dis and telling their story.

 

Friends Of The Earth - Worship the earth? Why not be her friend too? See also: Greenpeace.

 

History of Robots in the Victorian Era - the best monsters are clockwork and steam-powered monsters.

 

An International Catalogue of Superheros - comic geek fit! Alternatively, there's the Gay League list of 'out' gay, lesbian & bi-sexual comic characters and those who may be in, maybe out then in or are just shaking it all about (like Hopey & Maggie (siigh) and Lord Fanny).

 

The Parking Lot is Full – Website most likely to be described as “The Far Side On Acid” though “The Far Side on a come-down after a three-day ketamin binge spent wandering, naked, a Disneyland warehouse where the decaying remains of Mickey Mouse’s many heads stare bleakly at you from mouldering shelves” is much closer than is comfortable.

 

Trash Fiction - a brilliant site dedicated to some, perhaps, not-so-brilliant books.


Raw Vision - The magazine of outsider and extraordinary art. 

 

Resonance FM – “London’s first radio art station”. Often brilliant, sometimes cobblers, and occasionally makes your ear-drums rattle. Tune in from the website. 

 

Superdickery - Just in case you've not seen this: conclusive proof that Superman is a dick.

 


London Links
 
Derelict London - photographs of contemporary ruins in London, including south London pubs.
 
The London Adventure – A walking club dedicated to visiting sites touched by lost literary and decadent  giants of London, including Arthur Machen, Aubrey Beardsley and Big Gay Al Crowley. They also have a drinking chapter, The Fitzroy Club, where SELFS-folk can sometimes be found.
 
London By Londoners - A website and newsletter crammed with trivia and truth about London life.
 
LondonFreeList - London events listings site.
 
London RIP - Lost London locations and landmarks.
 
London Wildlife Trust – Preserving the wild spaces of London. There’s more than you'd think.
 
Pagan Federation London - The London part of the PF.
Smoke: A London Peculiar – The quarterly magazine for London obsessives. “In these pages we'll reveal city secrets to make the giant invisible pandas of Tulse Hill seem merely dreary and suburban."
 
Weird London - Morbid Frog & co's goth-esque Livejournal guide to London events and more.



A Green Cat by Louis Wain
Cat Links
 
Catland - One of many sites dedicated to Louis Wain, the Victorian artist of cat-whimsy whose cats went as mad as he did. See from here (sane Wain) to here (loopy Louis).
 
Cat Herding  - Everyone talks about it, here's what it looks like. It's a long download but it's worth it, the CGI being more convincing than any of the new Star Wars films.
 
Cats in Sinks - no prizes for guessing...
 
Cat Wine Collection - Not wine made from cats, thank Bast, or wine that tastes like a certain cat by-product but wine labels with cats on them. Glass of 'Hello Kitty' Beaujolais anyone?  Speaking of Hello Kitty, you can view a Hello Kitty crop circle here.
 
Hitler cats - a blog dedicated to photographs of felines that resemble the Furher (or, I suppose if you find that dis-tasteful, Basil Fawlty.)
 
The Infinite Cats Project - A fantastic internet art project that you and your cat can join in with at home.
 
A very cool infrared cat lurks here.


Kitten of the Day - When one is in need of fluff.
 
Kitten War - May the cutest kitten win!
 
Japanese dressed-up cat madness – Witness extremely un-amused cats in bonnets here and here.
 
Lore of the Cat - White cats, black cats, cats as psychopomp.
 
Messy Beast -  A full and fantasitc website of cat facts, folklore and freaky things. You want horned cats? Winged cats? Cat/Rabbit hybrids? Well here they are.
 
My Cat Hates You  - Feel the hate! Feel it!
 
Rate My Kitten - These kittens, however, are after your love. This site was the first outing for kitten superstar No Hands, a fan-art gallery for him can be found here, while this gent cyber stalked the little ginger-kit from his early days to his current life as a smug, carrot-coloured cat.
