LOADS-A-MONEY!
Apr 14I’m kind of wondering if io9’s throw-up-everything-see-what-sticks approach to my various, beloved pastimes and nerd predilections isn’t the start of a nerdier-than-thou reference war. With me, mostly. A lot of the stuff they celebrate on the site always comes off with an air of “Look what we found in the trash! Isn’t it amazing what they used to like in prehistory?”, leaving me standing to the sides going “Hey, I owned that!”
For example, I give to you the post-JAMs, pre-KLF, Timelords, and their novelty hit, Doctorin’ the Tardis. You have no idea what this song meant to someone growing up in a Western Canadian town in the late-80s, early-90s. Parched for any electronic music out of the UK and desperate for anything related to Dr. Who, the Timelord’s CD EP was critical to me not packing it in and wearing a tie.
