A while ago we linked to the Philippe Carly's huge archive of photographs taken both on and off stage and mostly in France during the post-punk era. Philippe now has a new server for the site, Newwavephotos.com, which should sort out some of the bandwidth problems it was experiencing (related, but only just: make your own rock band. Find a chord).

Elsewhere. How to find an architect to design and build your own house: an insider's guide. A brief history of railway time (most appropriate given that a light dusting of snow throws London's transport system into chaos). Stock car racing event programme covers, via Sharpeworld (whose fascinating Coyle and Sharpe website is now up and running).

Design industry classifieds - worth a browse. Jetset's excellent modern furniture links. Some weblogs: Making Light (see especially 'religious kitsch'), thescoop, which is journalism-focused, and self-confessed 'music snobbery' from jeans and a t-shirt. Picture of the day. posted by things at 13:07 / 0 comments
