Tangible relics of the dawn of the Internet

I found this in one of my Tragically Hip CDs. I bought the CD in the late noughties and the website was already defunct.



There was a sticker on the front of the CD outlining what was available on the website. According to some other fans who remembered visiting it, there were three extra tracks that hadn't made it onto the album.


The card is a relic of a time when the Internet was new and shiny and full of exciting things. This was web 1.0 - when people visited websites and weren't expected to generate content themselves. 

I never thought I'd get nostalgic for those days.
