Celebrating 30 goddamned WWW years: 1994-02-17
One of the 1st 1,000 websites IN THE WORLD.

A repository of older Jazz Butcher website features

The Jazz Butcher website first appeared online in February, 1994 - making it among the first 1,000 websites in the world. Over the years, an enormous amount of information has accummulated here.

But some material - no matter how lovely - has a shelf-life. Links to this historical and ephemeral information will be preserved here.
Mailing List - 1989-2003
The genesis of this Jazz Butcher website was the mailing list that David Whittemore maintained. During the 15 years it was active, several hundred technically-inclined JBC fans kept in touch and posted thousands of email messages.
Website Auction - 1997
The Butcher had some memorabilia sitting around his home which he was sick of tripping over. So, we decided to have an auction.
Eider's ABC's of Drugs - 1998
Max Eider, as a writer for Channel 4, produced a series on mind-altering drugs, which - due to its absolute brilliance - was mirrored here before it left the Channel 4 website.
How MAD Are You? - 1998
Pat was in posession of a ridiculous photo of a fan doing a ridiculous thing - while wearing a JBC t-shirt. He mused that others in compomising attair might compete to be top loon, if the call were put out on the JBC mailing list. So that's what happened.
Fan Tribute Project - 2000
Some brainiac on the old JBC mailing list decided that it would be fun to have the many JBC musician fans take a whack at doing a cover tune tribute album. The outcome is surprisingly not as cringe-worthy as it could have been.
Trivia - 2002
A multiple-choice JBC trivial test. Take the challenge: is Emil still pig?
Pat's Recommended Links - 2003
Net-side bands and whatnot that Pat wanted to highlight.
The Western Family DAT - 2005
Western Family , the 1992 live album released on Creation Records, is not the record it could have been..
