Contrary to popular stereotype, the internet really is not forever.
I remember reading the silly rhymes of An Indie Rock Alphabet a lot years ago on the Paste Magazine website but after it disappeared from the web at some point I was never able to find it again. The author's cute doggerel about the indie bands it inspired me to check out stuck in my brain for nearly two decades, stuff like “No matter what religion you choose, always believe in the Silver Jews” or “Some think its pretty and others think its odd, the Fiery Furnaces are a brother sister squad.” Weird how I can still remember that but so many more important things I've forgotten.
Anyway, I wanted to revisit my memories and so I tracked down a used copy of its print version from a used bookstore and it is still a delightfully silly and fun little humor book that really did expand my music knowledge.
I muse about how such "web original" books and our relationship to the internet has changed at Harris' Tome Corner here.
