I remember he used to put out lots of music, no idea how I found him in 2003 or so but I did. Haven't actually listened to that linked album but he still is encouraging piracy of his music.

    There was also these guys https://www.discogs.com/artist/64671...i-Riddim-Force
    I don't think that's all their releases at all. And I couldn't tell you how I stumbled onto their music.

    I'm sure there still an element of this wildness out there online still but it feels like lots of stuff got more and more siloed off by scene. So it gets harder to stumble on the weird stuff that just kind of clicks. There used to be a guy, or group, in a big I followed that digitized bootleg Soviet punk rock releases sometimes with no context at all beyond a picture of the envelope it came in. It's possible I just don't have the time to find and follow these people anymore. Maybe I should look. That Music from Sahara cell phones album reminded me of that period

    Yep. Starts in 81 or 82, depending on which demographer you ask.

    But we're also Xennials, if you still count the microgeneration.

    Fuck, I haven't thought about Kazaa or Limewire for years.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    Same, that was a fun web era. Born Jan’86

    Anyone remember Audiogalaxy? MP3 download site, black background iirc. That may have been the peak MP3 site pre-Napster, at least it was for me and my middle school buddies.

    I continued to use Winamp way after iTunes became the popular MP3 player, even for illegal downloads. Felt I had to utilize my expanded equalizer plugin.

    I remember using Netscape Composer to build a couple websites with middle school students in 2000. The project was considered kind of cutting edge for a student teacher in rural Montana. I wonder if any of those kids remember. I guess they would have been born around 1987.

    Even Napster was great.

    I remember when I found this song and was so stoked, no way you’d ever find random music before this.

    As I was wrapping up grad school I had a temp job on campus that had about 2 hours of work in an 8 hour day. Napster had just come out, and I had a T3 connection and a Zip drive. The opportunity to find any song I wanted was amazing. We take that for granted now.

    I call bullshit. I know more music than you (could be wrong, but doubtful) and it all came from interest, asking somebody, not from tech of any sort.

    In a bar, in Ireland, in 1990, I asked a guy what song this is:



    I'm glad I did.

    Solid genX. I found a set of Corel office suite on 3.5" floppies the other day. I still miss those Canadian made programs. Developed in the womb to some excellent music enhanced by electric rather than perverted by it. Last of the good acid, but I was more into zoomers. And the old school silent generation was able to provide excellent professional mentoring to my young career just before they retired.

    That's offensive to the multi-plural people out there. Some people just don't feel comfortable with only one pronoun.

    I should of said “this easily”.

    Asking people sounds exhausting, but sure, you put in enough work you could find some stuff.
