fun things from the internet

In the late 90s, we ripped albums we found in physical stores and and shared them on the net. Around that time, we built a content channel with a noble purpose: listening. Soulseek's directories felt like cities, and “emigrating to a new land” was a common feeling. Connecting to the internet back then required a desktop computer, a solid local provider, a modem, and a good dose of patience.

Life was split between offline and online realities, a division that no longer exists. Without automatic playlists or ads, discovering music was the result of deliberate research, which made the listener, at the very least, selective. Today, technological advances make us passive recipients of unsolicited content—and music is no exception. All of it arrives before we've even plugged in or taken a moment to truly pay attention.
