Welcome to www.carolinasoul.org, the online home for discographies of 45-rpm soul recordings made in the Carolinas in the 1960s through 1980s. The North/South Carolina discography is currently divided into two sections: (1) local NC/SC labels that issued at least one soul record, and (2) NC/SC soul artists on non-NC/SC and national labels. The local label section is sub-divided alphabetically by label name. In some cases, non-soul releases are listed and are indicated as such. Representative label scans are provided if available; to view them, click on the small record logos. Multiple scans are provided for labels that had more than one more design.  http://www.carolinasoul.org/

 

Without a doubt my favourite sites on the internet are about abandoned places. There's just something about them, but I'm not sure what it is, that I find fascinating.  This site is one of my favourites.  http://www.unquiettomb.com/intro.html

 

 

This is actually a great idea- it allows you to find what is being aired on the next episode of your favorite TV shows!  http://www.next-episode.net/

 

The Kinsey Report of 1948 famously lifted the lid on American sexual behavior. But when a similar study was conducted in Britain the following year, the findings were so outrageous they were suppressed. Only now have they been revealed.  
 
In these liberated times, when sex is almost a constant undercurrent of everyday life, it's hard to imagine how much of a taboo sex once was.  
 
Yet when a group of young researchers set out to probe British sexual behavior in 1949 their findings were considered so outrageous they were instantly swept under the carpet; banished to the archives of a university.  
 
Only now, more than 50 years on, have the results come to light, revealed in a new BBC program. The findings show that the prim and proper façade of post-war Britain hid some remarkable truths about sexual attitudes and experience.

Scientists have taught dolphins to combine both rhythm and vocalisations to produce music, resulting in an extremely high-pitched, short version of the Batman theme song.  
 
The findings, outlined in two studies, are the first time that nonhuman mammals have demonstrated they can recognise rhythms and reproduce them vocally.

The drug buprenorphine appears effective in treating teens addicted to heroin and other opiates, researchers report.  
 
The use of heroin among adolescents has more than doubled in the past 10 years, noted researchers from the University of Vermont. There's also been an increase in this age group of the illicit use of prescription opiates such as OxyContin and Vicodin. Opiates are the second most commonly used illicit drugs among teens, second only to marijuana.

A woman from Upstate New York dresses like Dr. Who and films her struggle to get her show broadcast on every public access channel of which she has any knowledge via badgering each cable company and invoking the First Amendment. The videos are a spinecracking combination of surrealism, muckraking, and mundanity.  http://www.achatwithglendora.com/
