I think the Tinterweb is the dogs doo-dahs for the following reasons:
We wouldn't have started These Old Shoes if we hadn't met up via the KTF forum and people from around the world wouldn't have turned up to it if we hadn't had a web site and promoted via the site and various lists. Flyers got a regular attendance from London but the net gave it wider appeal.
I buy records at half UK dealer prices and sell records around the world: Italy, France Japan, Spain, germany, the US etc.
I can hear new sounds daily, by the dozen! Why is that a bad thing? Don't agree with the "licked t'road clean wi tongue back then" atitude of trying to justufy that one new tune a month is a good thing.
The internet has turned up so many great records, known and unknown, it has thankfully put to bed the idea that was recounted to me at my first Cleethorpes that there were no more NS records left in the states
It allows people to put their opinion up to hundreds of other people without thinking before typing and insult people they have never met ....... No, sorry that isn't a good thing.
It hasn't stopped me going out, I don't go out to other than local events anymore cos I have other things to do.
Cheers
