Welcome to Cosmik Debris Magazine's Links Page! Here you will find all kinds of cool places to check out...

online radio title


The Daily Feed - Great political and social insights put The Daily Feed on the cutting edge, so listen up as they cut through the crap and tell it like it is.

KAMP - This station has lousy sound, but great music. It comes from Arizona U, and it features all kinds of music, sports and talk. It seems the DJs change every semester, which means the programming does, too. Interesting stuff, tho.

KDVS - Cal Davis' student-run radio that gives you a different style of music every few hours, and some of the programs mix it all up. Some of the deejays are quite entertaining, and they sure seem to know their music.

KMNR - 89.7 FM, Rolla, Missouri. Like many of the other stations on this page, KMNR offers so much diversity that you could get lost for weeks soaking it all up. A lot of fun to listen to.

KVRX - Student radio for the University Of Texas in Austin. Very eclectic, which is exactly what you should expect from Austin, where the live music scene is just that. Decent sound, too.

KWUR - Washington University in St. Louis. Another champion of eclecticism. We at Cosmik Debris salute Jamie, the host of The Juke Joint, who says "I think radio formatting -- playing one sole, segregated genre -- is boring; my show isn't." And she's right.

3WK Underground Radio - This is a Net-only station that plays "underground" music, like Poster Children, Guided By Voices, Flying Saucer Attack, Bob Mould, and The Loud Family. The sound quality is very good, and you can actually read the artist and title info for each song right there on your Real Player.

2kool4radio.com - They are just what the name implies. Net-Only, great sound, diverse, gutsy programming.

WEBR - This Fairfax, Virgina Community Radio station's motto is "keeping the first ammendment alive," and that's not a bad motto to have. You can hear talk and all kinds of music from jazz to garage.

WITR - It's in Rochester, NY, and it seems to cover all ground from punk to reggae and back. It MAY be affiliated with Rochester Institute of Technology, but they don't seem to want you to know that. Or maybe not.

wrek- net - Reggae, punk, blues, jazz, classical and more from the campus station at Georgia Tech. You'll find something for everyone. Hey, they even have separate programs for Himalayan music! And Jewish music! Everything!



record labels title


Arf! Arf! - Gotta be one of the strangest labels on Earth, but oh, so cool. Among their treasures you'll find 60s garage so obscure you couldn't possibly have heard it before, and still it's mind-meltingly intoxicating. Happy 20th anniversary, Arf! Arf!.

Black Saint & Soul Note Records - Two important Italian jazz labels. Want to know where the adventurous jazz artists went? Where the audiences appreciated them: Europe. And these labels have the goods.

Concord Records - They do classical and adult contemporary music, but we love 'em for the jazz and Latin jazz they do so well, with artists like Poncho Sanchez, John Pattituchi, Chick Corea, Big Kahuna & The Copa Kat Pack and Rosemary Clooney, not to mention the late Tito Puente. Goooood label.

Epitaph Records - Once they did one thing and did it right. Thunder-drummed angry punk music. Now they do about five things, but they STILL do them right. They still have the punk, but they also have ska, power pop, blues and... they've even got Merle Haggard!

Harmonia Mundi - An excellent classical label that offers music that is often very different from the usual classical fare.

MuSick Recordings - If they're not the last bastion for surf and instrumental music, they're at least the home of the very best, from The Space Cossacks and The Hypnomen to Eddie Angel and Pollo Del Mar.

ROIR - Once cassette- only, Reach Out International Records puts out CD re-releases of those cassette classics by punk gods of the 80s, while issuing current CDs in the dub reggae field.

Rounder Records - The parent label for Philo, Ashe, Heartbeat and others, the Rounder group puts out some of the most historically important music you could hope to hear. Reggae fans should head straight to the Heartbeat section of the site. Take note: You CAN NOT go wrong with a Heartbeat release.

Sugar Hill Records - American roots music, from Doc Watson to Dolly Parton. (Dolly PARTON?) Yep, if you haven't heard what she's done for Sugar Hill, you should. This is a great bluegrass and old-timey music label.

Sundazed Records - We LOVE this label! They re-release lost classics by bands like The Beau Brummels and Paul Revere & The Raiders, and we kiss their toes for it.



friends of cosmik title


Firezine - The official digital magazine of Firesign Theatre, the greatest comedy group in the history of... history. If you want to know what's happening in the world of the four or five guys, this is the place to go.



magazines title


Yeah, we know it seems strange for a magazine to give lip service to other magazines, let alone draw you a map, but we think there's a big world of music and entertainment (and other things) out there, and there's no way we can cover more than a fraction of a fraction ourselves. There's no way ANYONE can. So you need more than one source. Therefore, we offer this list of what we feel are the best Online publications. Take a look, but always remember to come back home to Cosmik and see what we've got cookin'.

Alternate Music Press - The multimedia journal of new music.

Amazing Sounds - A magazine for fans of electronica, ambient, trance, avant-garde and meditative music.

Austin Live - A magazine dedicated to one of the hotest music scenes in America: Austin, Texas.

bangSHEET - A cool mag run by a guy named Kurt Herndon who puts his all into it.

Billboard Magazine - Famed for their charts, there's much more here, from new releases to articles.

Chart Attack - Canada's music scene in graphic detail. Updated daily.

Demorama - The site design may annoy some, but the idea is great. They give exposure to independent artists who are making music 100% on their own and making it possible for you to listen to it. Kudos.

Perfect Sound Forever - The online music magazine with warped perspectives.

Reggae Source Magazine - One of the better reggae mags on the Net, covering both roots and dancehall.

Splendid E-Zine - All kinds of music. Reviews, articles and interviews.



cosmik debris writers have sites too title

Check out our Staff Links page!

coLeSLAw's gALlEry - A place where you can check out the artwork of coLeSLAw. For the first two and a half years of Cosmik Debris' life, he was our artist, doing the covers and the title images. He's now the President of the small island nation of Grooviatopia, but his artwork is still here to peruse. We miss the way he used to scurry out and grab a handful of Rice Chex and then scurry back. It was cute. [sniffle.]

David Walley - Does it again. His new book, Teenage Nervous Breakdown: Music & Politics In The Post-Elvis Age is getting rave reviews. Click to check out availability & pricing.

Misc fun stuff

Oneposter.com - You can get lost for hours looking through the posters at this great Online store. Reasonable prices, too. This isn't an ad. We just think it's a a fun place to hang out and look at images, as well as a great resource for adding art to your walls.

Merriam-Webster's Word For The Wise - It's just one part of Merriam-Webster's web site, but it's a cool way to learn something new every day. It's actually a short radio program broadcast on public radio, but it's also presented in text here. Each day there's a new word or phrase or quote and some history behind it, but it's never dull or dry. In fact, it's rather addicting. You can read the transcript or listen in Real Audio.

MP3.COM - A place where you can download a TON of free MP3s AND discover some of the most talented bands and solo artists on the planet. They may not have a label behind them yet, and in fact they may not want one, but many of them have everything it takes to become your next musical addiction.

DVD Easter Eggs! - That's what they call a hidden feature on a DVD, one you have to figure out some secret way of accessing. This website has hundreds of DVD Easter eggs mapped out for you. Hey, you might THINK you're already getting your full money's worth from your favorite DVD, but there just might be a hidden interview, some deleted scenes or even an alternate ending hidden away on that there platter!

Nothin' But The Blues. - Hey, even if the content sucked, we'd send you there just to check out the ultra-cool way you get from page to page. Honest, you want to try this. And on top of that, it's one of the best blues sites we've ever seen.
