2007-2010 “early internet days”

I remember the old school message boards back when we got our first dial up modem connection in 2000 lol. I used to frequent the melody maker one and chat to my mates on aol messenger whilst downloading on Napster

I used a text-only BBS during college, 1987-88. No computer audio files then!

I was the first in my neighborhood to get Prodigy in '89. I miss that weird precursor to the internet. It was pure text based strangeness. Great times were had.

Who had a Hotmail address?

I still use my Rocketmail address. They were bought out by Yahoo in '97!

First time I saw them was maybe a year or two before Dennis Danell passed away. It was at a festival in downtown San Diego. Two memories that stick with me.

1) Losing a birkenstock in the mosh pit. Wearing those was probably not the best idea in retrospect.
2) A kid looking at me and saying "You like Social Distortion? You're Old!". This was 30 years ago, when I was in my 20's. I wonder if that kid still listens to them. I sure do.

Saw Social D open for Neil Young and Crazy Horse on the Ragged Glory tour at the San Diego Sports Arena. One thing that sticks in my mind about Social D's set was that Mike Ness must've had a cold or something, because I've never seen anyone spit so much in my entire life.

That reminds me of a show I saw a few years ago at the Belly Up in Solana Beach.

Walter Lure, Clem Burke, Glen Matlock, and Mike Ness playing Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers ~ LAMF. Was a hell of show. The one they played in New York is here:

I work with a guy from Brazil at my new job and we've been listening to a lot of Ramones, Bad Religion and Black Sabbath. I decided to download a bunch of Brazilian rock and punk last night, sound unheard, to play today - this one has been the absolute winner so far!

I wish I could still use my goddessmail account from Dark Horse Comics.

I used to use HotBot for my search page in the mid-90s, but now I see it's a VPN service.

I had home internet in '94 but I cannot remember what I used for email prior to gmail in 2004

Saw The Buzzcocks play The Belly-Up. What a show that was!

Still using my 25 year old hotmail account.

Oh cool! I just realized this thread was created! Can't wait to go through and read it

It hasn't declined to a "what is and what isn't" punk level yet has it?

Nope, all good so far. Now just discussing who used a Hotmail account in their youth

OMFG, yes!

What else did you listen to?

 

[gafacaode]

Also this:

 

[avecigrec]

OMFG, yes!

What else did you listen to?

Not so punk:

Casa das Máquinas, Os Mutantes and Sepultura -- the latter two I was already familiar with.

My co-worker suggested CPM 22, but I haven't checked them out yet.

 

[gafacaode]

I never really got into CPM 22.
Plebe Rude and Ratos de Porão are contemporary to Inocentes.
Ratos de Porão leans more thrash than punk, though.

Plebe Rude and Ratos de Porão are contemporary to Inocentes.

...added to the list!

We listened to Miséria E Fome as well, but I liked Pânico Em S.P. (way) significantly more!
