I present for your consideration: Tales of Future Past.

Awesome images of how people used to think the future would be. With snarky commentary (sometimes annoying, usually amusing).

Go! See how things used to have been going to be!

BTW - my brother has an interesting collection of electronic music records from the 60s. He used to drive us nuts by playing them over and over again.

Have you ever read David R. Toop's Ocean's of Sound? It's a really interesting book about the development of ambient/electronic music. Of course, it might be really silly now that electronica has retreated from mainstream radio play along with rave culture. But I think it might interest you. It comes with a CD. Would you like to borrow it?

That'd be keen!
