Lo-Tech Lovers
this is a work in progress - just put up a rough version now.
this list is about QUALITY and stuff not easily found. I cut out all my commodore64, gameboy, circuit bending and DIY links since other people have covered these quite well and there are so many of them. if you want me to put them back up let me know.

they love casios more than I do (!) AND can actually reverse engineer casios AND check out rvseng/James Earthenware songs because they are BRILLIANT! Their manifesto is REQUIRED READING, so study up class!

If CasioNova was a fabulous German lady who can write great tunes and put on a really spectacular show then he would be Rauberhohle.
