LINKAGE

Oh fuck my hat, how did you get here?
This is like the hidden dirty cellar of Was Ist Das?
I used to love the idea of this page, a total index of every cool website you could ever possibly need! What could be wrong with that?
I'll tell you what was wrong with it - the sheer fucking effort.

I honestly forgot this page had ever existed, let alone realized it was still live. Then after fourteen years I updated the FAQ page and noticed a link for it on there and went to look. Oh Christ, it even links to the MYSPACE PROFILE FOR CHRISSAKES!

So why haven't I just deleted it?

I don't know. I really don't know but here for you, lost seeker, is a directory of probably dead websites. Fill your boots.
Maybe one day I'll update it?

Ned, April 2022

We have a facebook page which is a great way to get in touch with us, share your sounds with us or keep tabs on what we're up to: facebook link

our Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/heywasistdas

Our (nearly defunct) myspace site: www.myspace.com/wasistdaswebsite

Here be some other websites. Hope they bring you lots and lots of pleasure but don’t forget who sent you, OK?

Now this page is so big, I have had to make a little index here so you can click on the section you need:
