I’ve been a long time Mac user – ever since the original Mac came out.
Currently, I’m running a dual 1.25 Ghz G4. I’m badly in need of an upgrade, but this one is still going strong. Itunes has just come out with movie rentals now which should help the Apple continue to have the top selling Ipod.
it’s the 10th birthday of Plain Picture Parade. It all started the summer of 1995 when I was in Sweden with my family and we stopped at a used CD store. I had heard some chatter on alt.swedepop mailing list about this band called the Cardigans. I found a CD single “Carnival” for 10 SEK at that shop. I couldn’t stop listening to it. I then bought the Life album in Sweden as well and as we were heading to Malmö, I heard that there was a festival and the Cardigans were part of it. We rushed to the hotel and rushed to the festival but just missed seeing them play. I was addicted!I opened up a Geocities account at http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/Quad/2567. I taught myself basic HTML and just put up some pictures of the Cardigans. As a small community began to grow, I started gathering more pictures, more CDs, more videos, and it just steamrolled from there. I soon had to open up 2 more Geocities accounts to hold all the pictures as I up to 30 MB of stuff.In 2001, I registered the domain name “cardifans.com” and moved my page there. I also purchased Adobe GoLive and couldn’t believe how fast and quickly you could update the entire site. I then moved to Dreamweaver which I use now. You can see some old snapshots here, here, here, and hereI saw the Cardigans for the first time in February 1997 in Providence, Rhode Island. I thought for sure I would get to meet the band but Loevfool had hit and the US was Lovefool struck. I did get to meet Magnus which was very cool. Then they came to Dallas, Texas in May 1997 where I got to meet Nina and get her autographI then saw them at Roskilde in 2003 and in Malmö in October 2003, and finally in Las Vegas in 2004.What a great ride it’s been. Thanks to everyone who has sent me pictures and has supported my efforts. Long live the Cardigans.
I’ve resurrected Tim’s discography. For those of you who don’t remember it, it used to be up on thecardigans.de before the German record label forced Tim to give them that domain name. Needless to say, Tim spent hours and hours compiling it and I felt it was a shame to let it die. So I’ve done my best to bring it back.
Some new pictures of Nina from a Swedish magazine in the Nina Persson picture section.
Now you can buy some cardifan mechandise including shirts and stuff.
Hi everyone. I’m hoping that with the install of the blogging software, that my index page and all the news and picture updates will have a lot cleaner look now. It’s probably going to take me a bit to get used to the new way, but I hope you’ll enjoy a better interface.
