The Shit That Pays the Bills (er...gives me free crap)...
Slap Magazine (skateboarding mag I write reviews for)
Shredding Paper (the land of a million short cd/dvd/lp/etc reviews)
Playing in Fog (my friend Daz's site that has lots of crappy live show reviews I've written, and I mean lots)

Art/Photos/Worthwhile Blogs/That Sorta Crap...
Andrew Paynter (my good friend and bad ass photog, got his site designed all professional-like)
Simone Lueck (interesting photography from an old school NC friend)
Fecal Face Dot Com (SF fringe-art comunity, great for finding out what's happenin' in town)
Rawk dot Org (Virgil's photos are so good I enjoy them more than the bands they are of)

Mostly Meat (I'm not sure if this is funny to folks who don't know Ajax, but I laugh at this nonsense daily)
Ghostface (my man Reeve's mostly-skating bloggy)

Skateboarding Nonsense...
Crailtap (comical website for the Girl skateboards family; lots of inside jokes)
Epicly Later'd (photog Pat O'Dell's blog of candid photos of skateboarders on tour and partying)
Epicly Trife (the SF version of Epicly Later'd)
Art of Skateboarding (info on classic boards & graphics)
Skim the Fat (video reviews)
Thrasher Magazine (great for skatepark directions)

Keeping Track of Shows...
Parade of Exquisites (good resource for all your noisy rock needs, now Chicago-based)
The List (very informative, but you gotta wade through a lot of crap)
and the Playing in Fog calendar linked above is always a good spot to check out...
