Update #8: In The New Museum Gift Shop! (and other matters)

Posted on May 18, 2011

Hello all,

Wanted to update everyone on a couple things.

Firstly, the good news, Now That's What I Call MIDI is NOW being sold in The New Museum Gift Shop!!

The other thing to address is that a few records were shipped back to me, undeliverable, both from international and domestic locations. These were sent back for various reasons; either the address was wrong, or there was no one available at the address. So, if you have purchased a record and still haven't received it, I am very sorry and want to fix the issue! Please send me your full name + address ASAP and I will ship again!

Much Thanks,

Ryder

      Haven't received mine either... Tried sending you a message a couple of times, but no response.

Update #7: DOMESTIC MIDI SHIPPED!

Posted on April 16, 2011

On Friday, all the USA bound orders were shipped! 

On Monday I will ship all the international orders.

The record sounds and looks great!

Sorry for the delay, I guess Rainbo Records, the folks who pressed it were backlogged.. 

Please let me know when you receive your record and any thoughts you might have.

Much thanks!

Ryder Ripps

      Listening to my copy right now, It sounds awesome and I was wowed when I took the record out of the sleeve and felt the weight of it...quality vinyl! :D

Update #6: TEST PRESSING IN!

Posted on March 3, 2011

Sorry all for the delay, the pressing plant was a bit back logged. 

Just got the test pressing from the plant, it sounds amazing!!! 

Will be shipping in two weeks!

Thanks for your pertinence.

      Wonderful news. We should celebrate over something round, like a pizza at Keste, or bagel and lox at Barney Greengrass.

MISSION
STATEMENT


Internet Archaeology seeks to explore, recover, archive and showcase the graphic artifacts found within earlier Internet Culture. Established in 2009, the chief purpose of Internet Archaeology is to preserve these artifacts and acknowledge their importance in understanding the beginnings and birth of an Internet Culture. We focus on graphic artifacts only, with the belief that images are most culturally revealing and immediate. Most of the files in our archive are in either JPG or GIF format and are categorized by either still or moving image, they are then arranged in various thematic subcategories. Currently, a major focus of Internet Archaeology is on the archiving and indexing of images found on Geocities websites, as their existence has been terminated by parent company Yahoo; who discontinued GeoCities operation on October 26, 2009. Internet Archaeology is an ongoing effort which puts preservation paramount. Unlike traditional archaeology, where physical artifacts are unearthed; Internet Archaeology's artifacts are digital, thus more temporal and transient. Yet we believe that these artifacts are no less important than say the cave paintings of Lascaux. They reveal the origins of a now ubiquitous Internet Culture; showing where we have been and how far we have come.
