The early days of not having to register/using comedy names in the display field makes this really hard, but it might have been this (Greenspun posts don't seem to have a timestamp any more) on "what was the first song you heard all year"?

I know it was something Scottish. We had a Scottish Music Only marathon round my flat. Something about New Years belonging to the Scots, I'm still not entirely sure why, may have had more to do with the Absinthe and the Laphroiagh than the date.
So chances are, it was PRML SCRM, Belle and Sebastian or... ::oh the shame:: Travis.

Or it might have been about the impossibility of achieving happiness in a hypermediated and hypersexualised environment that shows every sign of worsening.

But mentioning Belle and Sebastian is the most embarrassing thing of all.

pearls before swine - side one of "these things too".
the renderers - a dream of the sea.
karen dalton - in my own time.
les rallizes denudes - high or die.
charalambides - first listen to "joy shapes" (holy shit).
jerry garcia - side two of "garcia" (the first one).

^and nearly 10 years later still listen to them :-/

I posted once in 2002. I don't like it--there's even a typo. (Omen of the future, and probably one of the reasons I stopped; I hate not being able to fix typos. I've adjusted.) My first post under my own name was a thread about supporting actors in 2005:

In Anticipation of Morgan Freeman Beating Thomas Haden Church

A couple of months later I started posting under a second name (the "merritt ranew" account), and continued using both until early in 2006. I guess you could get away with that then.
