alt.music.stereophonics – 7 years old

Hard to believe that the Stereophonics USENET newsgroup alt.music.stereophonics is now 7 – yes seven – years old.

The newsgroup was created on the eve of the Cwmaman Feel the Noize gig at Cardiff Castle in 1998. It was a great concert.

There has been at least 50,000 messages posted to alt.music.stereophonics over the years… including a lot of spam but hey! that’s USENET for you and a lot of posts from people mistakenly asking for advice about their stereo equipment which became a group ‘in joke’.
