Wayback Machine

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.

A return to the old age internet

We miss chronological feeds. We miss forming community through internet friends and groupchats. We miss being fans and spending our lives obsessing over our faves. In an attempt to bring these things back to the surface, we're spending more time on open forums and less time with algorithms. So...... neocities blogs (brittany's here & sameera's here) and discord and perfectly imperfect. And more than anything, we're trying to spend time reminiscing about these days of early spirit and community. Maybe if we talk about it enough, it'll work its way back into existence. There's a reason why everyone misses it so much. - Brittany & Sameera

early internet blogs

We made a blog with all the things we love, and what we've created together as best friends. Slowly working out the functionality, but we aim to create something reflective of our insides and what we grew up on (the early internet). These interests led us to one another. - Brittany & Sameera

sending cold emails

We've been reaching out to people to interview on The Internet Is Dead Podcast via cold emails. It feels like opening up a world when we connect with one new individual who we never would've met in person. The Internet has created something so significant and life-changing in the sense that most humans who you find online are available to you if you just ask for them. You never realize the impact that one friendship has until suddenly you do. Interviews include Current Joys, William Craver, Summer Mckeen, Nicole Rafiee, Lauren Brodauf, Marcus Maddox, lotsofhands, TAGBOW, Sugar Pine 7 (forthcoming), Hotline TNT (forthcoming), Horse Jumper of Love (forthcoming). - Brittany & Sameera

asking guys at the bar if they believe in karma

First question we ask is What's The Worst Thing You've Done To A Woman? Usually, some guy says he respected her too much. Then we say: Do You Believe In Karma? If they weren't hooked in before, now they are. In for the kill... Could I Get A Video Of You Meowing? Compilation video coming soon. - Brittany & Sameera
