You MUST check out ubu.com which was found via carrotrevolution.blogspot.com which was found via hiddenjunk.blogspot.com (which I owe a hand written letter to). I will never have enough time to go through all of this, but you must check out the video/film section and the sound section. amazing stuff.
Find something there you like and post in in the comments.

Holy crap!
Between that, and the fact that Harpers has just digitized every single issue ever published, I am pretty much never standing up again...
Roger that Wifenmanner. Time wasting initialization in process. Engage bad posture and corn nuts!
Also-
I dig that they have some of the old Dial-a-Poem archives up.
I have certain sort of fake nostalgia (what is the name for nostalgia you have for things you never actually experienced, but miss nonetheless?) for things like Dial-a-Poem and , which I think were precursors to the internet, but died out when computers erased the discomfort of dialing a phone into the void and getting some stranger's voice in your ear. I guess they made it too easy to eavesdrop on someone else's ideas. Saying something out loud is far more painful than typing it, and I could blog 10x1^10000000 more secrets than I could ever say out loud- likewise, hearing someone tell you something- rather than reading it- is more cringe and empathy-inducing (whereas the internets is just the opposite- I think.)
A friend of mine says that outgoing answering machine messages were the homepages of the 70's and 80's
(though the concept of
"homepages" is no longer relevant either I guess).
From now on I am going to write all of my blogs in my friends' comments sections.
Uh, html is hard I guess...
That link was supposed to read "The Apology Line"
