zerointegrity.co.uk: came out of a drunken brainstorming sesh 2 years ago in the bierodrome for a name for s record label (first release this november?). The idea being that zerointegrity is the antithesis of all those people who claim to be the real deal bona fide whatever their publicist has told them to be, or ssummink.

I have this email address because I thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be REALLY COOL to have an email address that immediately classifies me as fitting every irritating indie stereotype ever?" (PS I do actually fit a worrying number of them, except having a clique and being in a band and owning a four-track, I'm not cool enough for any of that stuff, the indie cliques of this county have disowned me). I now get horribly embarrassed by it every time I use it precisely because it's so try-hard stereotypical indie dork, of course, but I can't be bothered to do anything about it. Plus nothing goes there except spam anyway.
spacecadet.co.uk 'cos it's free, it's in the UK (possibly unwarranted bandwidth/access speed concerns), it isn't run by Microsoft, the interface sucks slightly less - or did then, too many adverts now - than postmaster.co.uk's and it doesn't stick your full name on all outgoing mail (I thought this was a good thing since when I got the address I thought I might use it anonymously for my Top Sekrit Music Projects, except obviously I never got round to any top sekrit anonymous music projects), and it was one of about three domains that another.com offered me that I thought sounded vaguely tolerable. I chose it not for any drug connotations (which entirely escaped my mind when I decided it was the best option) but because it made me think of the "greetings, space cadets" intro to Mark Radcliffe's graveyard shift show.

"theundergroundhome" refers to an exhibit at the 1964-65 world's fair that suggested subterranean housing as a way to put our nuclear annihilation fears at ease. not merely a bomb shelter, but a completely pimped house with all the modern furnishings of the day.
the "cindy" theme started out as "stockholm cindy" (a pun, and just that) and then i realized that in the '50s and '60s a trenton, nj doll manufacturer named horsman put out a line of "cindy" dolls, and they're all utterly badass. so this summer i'm feeling like more of a cindy than a jody.
