Our "compilation album" of cool sites that have stuff you need!!

	It’s not just music, it’s a whole rock & roll lifestyle!! Backward Glances has all the vintage threads you need to look the part – from swingin’ hepcat to soul brother or hippie chick to disco diva.
	We’re in an age of information overload – how much can YOU absorb? How much do you WANT to absorb? Cut through all the crap found in music magazines by going to the ABSOLUTE BEST music magazine we’ve found – MOJO. An excellent cover-to-cover read!
INSURANCE!	You've been amassing an amazing collection of records, CDs, music collectibles, books, posters, etc. for years. And if you collect one thing, chances are you also collect other things - antique toys, baseball cards, maybe comics. Regular homeowners insurance doesn't know how to value or handle collections, but the Collectibles Insurance Agency DOES.
Weird record collections	So you think YOU have a bizarre and interesting record collection? Well, you're not alone. So does David Letterman and some guy named Frank LaRosa. Another guy's site displays some very cool album covers. On the flipside, here are some garishly awful album covers, and more bad LP covers. Some 50's/60's kitsch, weird music to go along with those weird covers, and spoofs, goofs and send-ups. Don't be greedy - share your cool covers with the world.
	Wanna see a great band? At Pollstar, you can see who’ll be playing in the towns you’re planning to visit. Or, follow your favorite band’s tour to see when you can catch them in another city.
