Music On The Web: Where It Was Then

Google has made the 2001 version of its search index available to celebrate its 10th birthday (it's the oldest version the site had available—see, people, everyone needs to remember to back up their hard drives now and again!), and I figured it would be fun to plug in a few music-related terms and see what pages came up as the top results, and whether or not those pages were housed in the Internet archive known as the Wayback Machine.

And now, after months of trying to navigate the damn thing, we've found a back door: Expand your browser screen as wide as you can, scroll all the way down to the bottom right, and click on "HTML SITE."

Amazon.com's User Recommendations Put The "Crazy" In "CrazyMoose777"

If you've ever browsed through any of the gazillion user-written music suggestions on Amazon.com, you've no doubt asked yourself, "Who are you, BobaFett@ttack, and why do you love Breaking Benjamin so much?" Today, MTV.com presents an overview of some of the site's DIY year-end lists, along with commentary from the writers themselves, many of whom have handles like "CrazyMoose777" or—we kid you not—"Chingy's #1 Fan!!!!!!!
