Decent article from Tom Ewing (ILM, Poptimist etc) on music forums…

Pop, passion and enemas: how online forums created a new musical culture

In the first of a new monthly essay series on music, we explore how messageboards became a meeting point for 00s music fans – and how, after being killed off by social media, they might rise again

Nice to see Barbelith remembered. I was one of the mods there.
Good times.

Do you know if there is any complete backup of Barbelith before it went down? It’s a shame what happened to the site.

If I ever find that Welsh dickhead I’ll have words with him

But no, I don’t know if they archived it. Tom Coats can still be found online easily enough, I’m sure he’d know.
