Blog2017 ≫ Twenty years ago today I was at Belle and Sebastian

First time I saw them, I have already revisited the link above with everything I can remember. One of my top gigs for sure.

This very day (today, not twenty years ago) the popbitch board1 closed down. I made that, goodness knows when, nearly twenty years ago probably, about 1999. Popbitch itself is still going but they closed down the board, as it was dying anyway and too expensive to run. Ironically everyone who ever used it popped back in again to say hello so it was busier than it had ever been. An end of an era.

A nice thing in the last popbitch mailout:


Thanks to: Each and every single one of you editors, posters and lurkers for making the board what it was. Thanks to the dozens of you who dished the very best p and b
especially the Popbitch Five who started it all off. But our biggest thanks go to pauly, without whom there would be no board at all.

Pauly, you made internet history. We salute you.
