I thought he was the Lemon Demon aka Neil Cicieriga. Both artists prove that "Don't meet your heroes" adage if you don't just enjoy the music and ignore the person.

The Madonna American Life decoy mp3s that would play a loop of "What the gently caress do you think you're doing?" over and over is still one of my favorite internet tales, because some annoyed pirate quickly hacked the madonna website with the message "This is what the gently caress I think am doing." and direct download links for real mp3s of the entire album until someone managed to pull the plug on the web server.

I Didn't get deep into it but Drew stole DA SHARE ZONE's ownership from the person who was actually the driving force. Neil joined the forums for a bit and, I'm told went full prima donna and was kicked out.

I was really tempted to pick up an NGage back in the day, because it had the first (and only?) video game version of the Rifts RPG that I played in junior high.

The most incomprehensible thing about the original ngage was how you had to turn it off and take the battery out to change the game cartridge, it was buried deep inside the phone like a sim card

Let's not forget how the demands for design eventually drove the engineers to go with a Goatse inspiration out of sheer frustration.

I knew a kid who had family with connections to some kind of consumer market testing service or something so he had an ngage before anyone else, and even the “oh wow new toy” factor wasn’t enough to offset how absolutely garbage it was.

Dip Viscous posted:What was the deal with MP3s that had random Windows and ICQ notification sounds throughout them? How does that even happen inadvertently? Were there people that were like "I really need to rip this sweet track, but I don't have a CD-ROM drive so I'll hold a mic up to a boombox in front of my PC"? I have seen people who apparently meticulously do low bitrate screen recordings of whole seasons of already-pirated series they are streaming from elsewhere (leaving in clicking the play button and progress bar)

Please tell me you have a huge collection and can tell me which late Amiga-era track it is that uses a sped-up version of the song-title vocal sample and beats from Dee-Lite's What Is Love. It's been in my head for years and I just can't find where it's from. I thought it might have been from the Jesus's On E's demo, but I couldn't find it when I skipped through that one.

I have a huge collection and do not recall that vocal sample ever being used before sadly Though given the rest of the track it really feels like something that would have been in Spacecake's 10-track heavy house mix, but surely you have encountered that in your search already. I have definitely heard that giggle later in the song before Also snorch posted:I was going through my MOD music collection and it did strike me as interesting that many of the ones from the 90s include the composer's full street address and phone number in the track info. Edit: Huh, he lived in Sydney, what is "Banksia" even doing in that address? Is that a neighborhood? Edit again: Yes, it is. I am learning!

I had one of those. I have a distinct memory of using Opera Mini on it to check something on Wikipedia, and mentioning to someone that it was the first useful thing I'd done on the normal Internet from a phone. To set a scene I think it was when going for a walk outside The Gathering. I think the rubber dimple on the joystick fell off at some point, and it also failed after a while in a way that ended up with me getting a slightly newer SonyEricsson as a replacement. Despite that I quite liked it.
