I just got ahold of a copy of the Details "music issue" from '96. It has a big article on "The Internet's Greatest Hits-A music lover's guide to the best sites and sounds on the World Wide Web" and is just dripping w/this stuff.

The lead for the "Music Shopping" section (which singeled out CD Now*, CD Europe, Music Boulevard, CDWorld & BMG Music Service):

Shopping online is convenient, but nothing like walking into your local megastore. Most online "shops" are simply text lists of artists and albums, with an occasional album cover on display. Without the stimulating sensory experience of walking through an actual record store, browsing isn't as likely to inspire that I've-gotta-have-it reaction. However, if you know exactly what you want beforehand, these services are great places to come and get it.

*Which they claim was the best, using for an example buying a double-lp jazz album for $25.97 with next-day delivery for an extra $5.48 and yr encrypted AmEx #.

My first online music-discovery sight was IUMA: Internet Underground Music Archive. ISTR finding out about a lot of cool bands at the time, but I couldn't tell you now who they were. There was also Garageband.com, where musicians and bands could put up music and critique each other; used to spend a lot of time on there.

Trumpet winsock scripts!

Congratulations to Trayce for really giving me a blast of nostalgia. Haven't thought about Trumpet Winsock for God knows how long and I never really knew what it meant. I think it was something I clicked on in WIndows 3.1 when there were problems with the internet connection. Beyond that, fuck knows, but what a phrase. Trumpet Winsock!

Alba, Wednesday, 2 March 2011 23:42 (thirteen years ago) link

And it had a little windsock as an icon. I think they were based in Tasmania.

My modem was always crummy so I was constantly writing dialler scripts to make it re-dial, handshake repeatedly, etc. I completely forget how to do all that shit now.

Guy behind Trumpet Winsock basically made no money out of it, because ISPs worldwide gave away the pay-for version without paying him. Now nerds are donating money to him, just because http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2282875
