Some websites that come personally recommended:
http://www.myspace.com/matovey
M A Tovey at MySpace
http://www.myspace.com/lexy_t
Contrary to long-standing popular belief, M A Tovey is notjust a lo-fi experimentalist alien muso robot and does in fact have a personal life! So this is the MySpace page where all of the non-musical,general shit in M A's life goes down. And to destroy some of the immortal, untouchable myth surrounding the cult of the artiste in question, this is to reveal that in real life M A is known to friends and family as Lexy and is every bit as human and normal as everyone else...possibly. So come say 'hi', why don't ya?!

M.A.'s presence on the greatest social netwoerking site of the current zeitgeist, under her real name of Alexandra. Why not give her a poke!
http://woteverworld.com/
Vivacious queer social organization with an associated club night, Bar Wotever, where M. A. occasionally subjects the scene queens and kings to the ear-bending and soul-soothing strains alike of her eclectic record collection!
http://www.urban75.org/
A vast virtual megalopolis of cutting-edge politics, culture and humour with an alternative edge and an underground slant all comin' atcha (wherever you are) from Brixton, South London - truly exceptional and, frankly, the way forward.

A. has often spun discs under her various turntable monikers Acid Priest, Torch Song and more recently BadlyDrawnGirl

http://www.thewire.co.uk/
http://www.resonancefm.com/
Two indispensable resources for followers of the kind of envelope-pushing sonic invention and individualism that, infuriatingly, rarely ever gets a look in anywhere else - and by default forms a scene that is for the most part forced to survive on meagre pickings, so deserves your unbridled support
