what is this place anyway

Posted on Friday 14 October 2005

Okay. Listen. Ulf Magnet has evolved into this — sort of — concept in my mind. It started as words TJ wrote on a notepad in 10th grade. We had this song we recorded, “Grandma’s Party”, and maybe a few others (why do you expect me to remember things from 1993) and we decided that the thing that spawned “Grandma’s Party” needed a name. So, the first thing on the list was Ulf Magnet, and it was better than anything else on the list, so the thing became called Ulf Magnet.

When the Internet was relatively young, I bought this domain, ulfmagnet.com, because the thing had grown into my mind to encompass not just music — there was a lot more of it by then — but also a bunch of other things that aren’t so easily categorized or defined. And now it’s late in the year 2005 and, like the very air we breathe, ulfmagnet.com is still here. It used to live in a box in my room called buffalo; now it lives as a virtual slice of a rackspace server somewhere I’ve probably never been, most likely side by side with 223 porn sites and maybe a few pyramid schemes, a failed search engine or two.

So now this is what ulfmagnet.com looks like because I felt like changing it one day. If you liked the old site, have fun living in 2003.

If you’re really psyched about some “new” Ulf Magnet, the best I can do for you is to point you at the microcassette archive over at the other site for the truly inspirational Swamp Sounds EP.
