Go to ARCHIVE-DOT-ORG and use the spiff on the home page for the Way Back Machine ... it's a storage database of Web sites that're now ... gone. Just type in a URL and take a trip back to the good ol' days of HTML 2.0.

Lookit whatcha get when you type in www.fcb.com -- Funny, no?

Also, visit the Live Music Archive and download tens of thousands of shows. Mostly jam bands like the Grateful Dead, Phish and Umphrey's McGee ... String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain String Band, Donna the Buffalo (there's a show from May 14th ... y'know, a couple of weeks ago), etc.

The shows are offered in MP3 and Shorten formats. Ah ... what's Shorten? It's a lossless digital format that compresses files without diminishing audio fidelity. So ... that Calexico show from Sweden sounds like you've patched into the soundboard yourownbadself.

Also, check out the Moving Picture Archive -- http://www.archive.org/details/movies -- with vintage TV spots, movies and various reels that will blow you mind.
