Spinner.com, so you can listen to music while wandering aimlessly around the 'net. It works kind of like a radio, and all you need is a Real Audio Player to make it happen. (There are some free downloads of the player- that's how I got mine. It's definitely worth it for the New Wave channel.)
All the songs you never wanted to hear- an assorted lot of lyrics for lots of songs by some of the more "gothic" artists.
