  • Probably the lack of grifters. That halcyon time before the notion of being your own personal brand. Amazing amount of selflessness out there in the early days of connecting online. Yeah back when it seemed like it was all going to broaden horizons and democratise rather than link up all the hatred. OK I don't miss that sea of AOL floppies and later CD's or the pain of 28.8 modem but hey.

  • 100% agree. It's a people thing rather than a site specific thing. Politics, for example in the social media arena attracts a certain combative behaviour from some who clearly feel passionately but who also feel that shouting down others is now the accepted norm rather than reasoned discussion though that's mostly where we are everywhere now.

  • I really racked my brains with this one and think mostly it would be to go back and see somebody just prior to becoming big to see the embryo performances at smaller gigs so maybe Early Kraftwerk or even Sparks. Also (and I can't believe I'm saying this as generally it's not my genre) Focus as part of the audience for the midnight special.

  • Lovely. I wonder if animals see a kind of aura when we're ill. They'll find a scientific explanation one day unless it's pure feline intuition.
