New on #WellMadeWeb: Light From A Dead Star.
The musical fansite is an old genre, and still it lingers in an underground of its own. Light From A Dead Star is such a site dedicated to Lush, the British shoegaze pioneers. The website hosts a trove of resources - hundreds of interviews and thousands of photos - compiled from magazines and press releases during the band's heyday in the early to mid 90s.

New on #WellMadeWeb: Melonking
Enter the mellow realm of the Melonking. A living embodiment of the lost spirit of the early Web.

A visit to the Melonking is hard to describe and it can only be experienced.

New on #WellMadeWeb: After Death Communication.
No, it isn't a mobile network offering supernatural coverage. Neither is it a PR firm that promises to guarantee your reputation long after you depart this middle realm. Rather, ADC is the Internet hub for those who have experienced spontaneous communication from their recently deceased loved ones.

New on #WellMadeWeb: MDGx Max Speed
