Sometimes if I'm doing a bit of research for this blog, I stumble on all sorts of music related websites. Some of them are very minimal, with no links, no nothing. Like a church website. More often, if I'm searching for song lyrics, I'll end up on a site that is completely cluttered by advertising that surrounds the tiny bit of information that the site was set up for. I'll be tempted with offers of ring tones, online blackjack tournaments, and "singles in your area", and about 5 extra pages will spring up from nowhere.
What I don't see so much of are fan pages like this. These DIY websites were very popular when I was about 15 and are now a thing of the past; partly because of blogs, partly because they're crap. Check out PrYdEri'S LiMp bIzKiT PaGe. It's not mine, at least I don't think it is - it doesn't look like it's been updated since 1998 so I suppose it's possible I made it and forgot about it. But I was never a huge fan of Limp Bizkit (weren't they great?), so that's unlikely. I love the lowercase/uppercase teen angst writing, and the fact that every page has about one item with "more to come soon" promised. It's been 10 years, and we're still waiting.
