So I quoted and linked to a @denschub diaspora post and for some reason my toot is getting a ton of traffic and replies, which is a first for me and honestly annoying, especially when the replies don't seem to grok the fact I am just quoting and linking? At first I felt bad not attributing his masto handle in the original toot but now I'm glad I saved them the trouble
The late 90s and early 00s were a golden age for internet art. Alternative artists like Helen brought their rich education and practice from pre-internet art onto the web. The artifacts that these obscure archives manage to maintain are remarkable evidence of the kind of creativity that flourished in the age between Tim Berners-Lee’s creation of the World Wide Web in 1989 and the vapidization of all things online enacted by modern social media starting in the late 00s.
I forget which song from this record I woke up with in my head, but listening to the entire thing straight through was a pretty relaxing Christmas morning jam while I wait for the rest of my family to wake up. I discovered the Wild Colonials my freshman/sophomore year at Arizona, 1994; they were playing during the day at the student union on the day of their Tucson gig. I didn't make the real gig but that performance at the union was magical. Top 10 record for me.
I'm always amused by replies to @fesshole that speak as if their response is going to the original poster
