What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 3 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.
The site, in 2002
A daily music site with news, reviews, interviews and commentary, which began as one of the first MP3 blogs.
Scott Lapatine launched it on 1 January 2002, naming it after a line in Air's 'Radio #1'. It won The Village Voice's Music Blog of the Year in 2011, and in 2020 Lapatine bought it back to run it independently.
In 2002: Launched on 1 January as Scott Lapatine's blog for finding new music and sharing MP3s.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
