i know it’s kind of a circular response but literally putting in any url is so fascinating . i forgot what youtube used to look like in the early 2000s and it was a delightfully fun little nostalgia tour:)

Just an easy way to kill time. Sometimes I’ll find an old music video I wanna watch like idk let’s say A-Punk by vampire weekend and I’ll watch it on the way back machine YouTube instead of regular YouTube, for immersion. A lot of the times this doesn’t work fully cus it’ll say u need a flash player or something from 2008 BUT you can read comments from that time still. pretty sick. HeavensGate.com is probably a close third.

There’s a lot of Internet Archive talk on here (shoutout MJ Lenderman) but i haven’t seen many people mention the Wayback Machine, which to me is far and away the sites coolest feature. You can just throw in any old URL and explore the early internet. Amazing web design and fantastic informational resource.
My favorite thing to do is look up the websites of old defunct bands. I’m linking to one of my favorites from Geoff Farina’s (Karate) band The Secret Stars, where he and his bandmate Jodi Buonanno chronicle their time spent renovating a 19th century Grange Hall into a recording studio/art space.
