This (C/D: Looking yourself up on Google Groups and discovering that you were debating music with ILMers almost a decade ago.) reminds me of a question I thought of recently. What was the first album you bought because of reading about it on the internet?

Me : Method Man : Tical, which people were raving about it on alt.music.hiphop or something back in around 95.

Circulatory System - Circulatory System

Sigh. So many wasted hours.

Probably a Pitchfork review of something in the 1998-99 or so.

That would be Standing Stone by Oliver. (NOT the "Good Morning Starshine" guy.)

Emergency & I by Dismemberment Plan, most likely.

Probably Alien Lanes by GbV. On a recommendation from a Pavement webboard when I was in highschool.

directly I would say D.I Go Pop who I ask can have been responsible for that purchase ;) (that was a clue)

There was probably something earlier, but my gut reaction is to go with Death in Vegas - The Contino Sessions
