 
Humorous music websites29 February 2000 - a rather odd day that could equally well not have existed had our calendar been put together in a different way. On this year's 'bonus' day, here's a chance to loosen the facial muscles and visit some less serious corners of the musical web. Incidentally, the media have been predicting further software mayhem on 29/Feb/2000 ... they were wrong about 1 January, so hopefully they'll be wrong again, as we're also taking the risk today of releasing some new software to make our database of web links a little more accessible. Looking below, you should see, apart from today's main feature on zanyness and worse, a Music Website News 2000 box. As we discover new sites, this box will show the latest of these, week by week. We're also taking the opportunity to launch our new homepage for Music Web watch. So have a look at these crazy music sites - many were featured here previously (last year). There are several pages - you'll need to use the 'continue' links a few times in order to see all the music humour and all of this week's new sites, but then exploring the web has always been an interactive experience... Have fun - more next Tuesday. Copyright © 29 February 2000 Keith Bramich, Suckley, Worcestershire, UK A Night at the OoperaAppearing during 1999, visitors to this rather frivolous page are greeted by a large cartoon drawing of opera glasses and opera gloves, and then an article by site owner Bob Fink, who begins by suggesting that too many people have been making light of such a serious subject ... quodlibet?I don't know either ... try it and see! Avril Ngaire Poisson and EuropeMusic & Vision's April 1999 feature explores the music of the little-known Ciwi komposer Avril Ngaire Poisson, complete with MIDI extracts from her work.
