Old rockers don't die – they go fishing …

Where do ravers, mods and indie rockers go when they're done worshipping at the altar of hedonism and need respite from Bobby Gillespie drooling in their ear? Answer: to the river, with a rod in hand. That's the impression created by new website Caught By The River, anyway.

Started by Heavenly Records' Jeff Barrett and friends, CBTR is more than just a website: it's a design for living aimed at maturing music fans. Pleasure is found in pursuits that certain circles might still consider subversive: obscure real ales, BBC radiophonic workshop albums and natural world heroes like Roger Deakin. You can expect guest contributions from the likes of Edwyn Collins, too. With an online shop, a book and festival appearances forthcoming, this virtual waterway is well worth a visit.
