My New Lyric and Reference Website: A Museum After Dark - Stephen Dame - 03-21-2005

With all the book pitching, and all my bitching about the demise of the old reference sites, I decided to kill two birds with one stone.

I created "A Museum After Dark," which you can find over at http://www.geocities.com/stephendame

It'll host the introduction and six initial chapters, as well as all the "who, what, where and why's" of Hip lyrics.

I hope to go beyond the FAQ, and I hope Hip fans will find it interesting and maybe even funny at times. If you think I'm stealing a little of the website's concept from the Burning Church, you're wrong. I'm stealing a lot of the website's concept from the Burning Church. So thanks to those guys wherever they are.

It's a work in progress, and I'm teaching myself HTML as I go, so expect more content over quality in the weeks to come.

And there it is. Thanks.

Nah, I'm just the only one who has the time to waste doing it because 1) I don't have a girlfriend, and 2) I don't have a steady job

...and I guess I don't care when people disagree with me and e-mail me messages saying: "Dude, you're a f**king idiot. Nautical is so obviously about Dieppe and strippers!" To each their own, and I guess when ya love Hip fans, ya gotta love ALL Hip fans...

...this internet thing sure is fun.

Great site, Steve.
Very helpful to those of us who know nothing about cultural references in Hip songs, cheers! Smile

(Also trying to learn HTML myself and, well, I feel any pain you will no doubt encounter... lol)
