That’s Steve I believe he passed away a few years ago was friends on fb 
Too cool seeing so many familiar names! I was big on trading bootlegs at the time and don’t remember what I was a Mod in but was great.
Still in Montreal for me 
Happy to see some of my Facebook friends as well

YES! I remember you! Are you still a lawyer?

I used socks elsewhere for years, so it just made sense. Things are getting harder in my old age, so fewer letters to type is good.

Is anyone in contact with KellyA? That’s a name I haven’t seen here just yet.
As for tattoos, I have 5, but not by choice; they were dots applied to mark the radiation treatment I had for breast cancer in 2017-18. It was caught on a mammogram, so early the doctors couldn’t feel it either, and I’m doing fine now.

KellyA and Donna aren’t that active online at all. I think I have Donna friended on FB, we share a birthday, but I never see her post anything. Maybe they don’t know the community is back?

Yup. Everything in those pics made sense at the time.

Donna’s on Twitter. We interact every so often. Caught up with her last summer.

I was webwords way back then. I think I joined around the time Up was released, so it must have been 1998 or 1999. I’m Roel, I live in the north of The Netherlands. I’m 43 now, married to Nelleke (we’ve been together since 1996) and we have three kids: a 13-yo daughter and 5-yo twins (a boy and a girl). Back then, I studied journalism and worked in a book store. I’m in online marketing right now.
Some lovely memories here! I remember meeting some murmursians at concerts in Germany and Paris, which was fun. Can’t remember who they were though…

Hello everyone, I’m Ross who used to post under the name remboy which worked fine when you are 16/17 but no so much when you are a few weeks from turning 40.
I’m really glad to see Murmurs is back and look forward to engaging with you all again. It’s lovely to see some familiar names and it’s brought some great memories back.
I’m going to see Peter Buck play in April. I’ll try post a report and pics when it comes around.

I won’t date all 5, but I recall you and Elodie had a bond. She is 26, (eek!), bought a house with her fiancé and works for Network Rail. She is still the Kook. If she gets the chance she will probably frape me again on here.
People, this child (as she was) on murmurs.1 fraped me endlessly on this site. Think of the most embarrassing thing possible and times it by 10. Thankfully, she don’t live with us no more. She growed up. But I wouldn’t put it past her.

Hey everyone! I joined murmurs as a teen in the late 90s. I’ve been brakspants for a long time but I may have been EnriqueV on the boards. I was mainly a lurker and will probably mostly lurk here too, but I see a lot of familiar names and mostly remember hanging around a lot around the time Reveal was coming out (I’ll never forget there was a topic called triskaidekaphobia).
Now I am a 41 year old mom of 3 living a pretty nondescript life here in Indiana. I remember I was 8 months pregnant with my second child in 2011 when the band broke up and the combination of that news plus pregnancy hormones made that a very emotional time

I’m living in Italy, Etty and due to the pandemic I haven’t been able to come back for a visit yet. Fortunately I got to go twice in 2019 as if I had known that I wouldn’t be returning for another three years.
I hope to see my family again eventually. At least I get to visit my younger brother (who lives in Barcelona) whenever I can.

It’s… different. First thing you notice here is that the economy pretty much sucks, in a way that when I got here in 2004 the exchange rate between the Peso (local currency) and the USD was something like 3:1, and now it’s (unofficially) 215:1. Talk about inflation, heh.
Of course, there’s no danger of spontaneous explosions in buses, rockets falling from the sky and the risk of imminent war. All in all fair trade in my opinion. Nowhere’s perfect.
