Mor Lam and Luk Tung Links

Singers
Jintara Fanclub Jintara's official site is a train-wreck: minimal content, horribly structured and with "braeking news" several weeks old. It does however have an (occasionally updated) list of her appearances. Thai only.
Orathai Club Tai's site is a mine of biographical information and news items, although again not often updated. Thai only.
Amity of Rain Hosted on Geocities and last updated in January 2005. Fon has not pulled out all the stops here. There are some video clips of shockingly poor quality, plus lyrics.
Jonas-Christy.com Thailand's favourite dead-eyed cultists tell you why they're so fabulous. A relatively unhorribly-designed site, though.
General
Monsoon Country A general site for folk music from various Southeast-Asian countries. Coverage of Thai music is thin, but there is an excellent guide to the Lao regional styles, with a complete example of each.
Geoff Alexander Geoff Alexander's site has several very useful pages: an introduction to mor lam; a mor lam buyer's guide; a profile of Jintara; and information on the legendary Tawan Daeng venue in Bangkok.
Isangate A site dedicated to Isan culture, full of information but hard to navigate unless you read Thai. Includes an Isan-English online dictionary, song lyrics, and an introduction to mor lam styles.
Thai Lookthung Music Dutch site in English and German. Has a biography of Pumpuang and audio and video files of various luk tung artists.
Lao Music Paradise Complete songs in streaming audio, mostly contemporary lam from Laos. Unfortunately there's not a word of explanation or commentary, ruining the educational aspect, while the 32k bit-rate of the tracks is less than entertaining.
Forums
Nanaplaza: Arts and Culture This nightlife-centred forum has sporadic, but well-informed discussions of Thai music, mostly from Thai-based expats.
Thailand QA The most active Thai music forum in English, but with very little discussion of mor lam or luk tung.
Luk Tung FM A high-traffic, low-quality forum, in Thai only.
Online Stores
Ethaicd A limited selection of titles, but includes audio samples.
Thaimegamart Offers a huge selection of titles, although not all are actually in stock. Navigation is confusing: mor lam and luk tung are scattered across seven or eight different sections.
Thai Net City Unattractive design, but has some audio samples.
