BCB music shows web 1.0 and web 2.0

In the BUN era (see Untitled Noise 1 year on) our music shows’ individual websites and web 2.0 presence was the only way find out what we were all up to, and it was not easy to keep up to date with all shows.  In the SUN era this blog has brought things together nicely in a hub, but our original tentacles still spread healthily.  So I thought it would be a good idea to fill you in on what we have out there on the internet.   Here’s what I know of, starting with general BCB stuff, then working through the week (I may modify this entry if and when I get more information):
