I’ve known about the Wayback Machine for a while, but didn’t think it had much to offer since it didn’t archive the webpage I had in college. (Although the incredibly pretentious Derrida essay I wrote ten years ago is still, unfortunately, on the server.)

But then last week Dino informed me that the websites of pretty much every band the two of us have ever been in were available on the Wayback Machine, most notably his old band Alto Heceta and my old, first band, Speed Of Sauce. Whoa boy.

The year 2000 seems like a long time ago most of the time, but especially when I’m looking at webpages rendered in the Times font that list shows with Euphone at the Green Room. And when I’m looking at my old bands’ press photos.

I remember we had to email stuff to my brother for him to add to the page, since the technical proficiency and server access required to maintain a webpage eluded us at the time.
