What
Last Midi Background (LMB) is a website that I created in 2009. At its core, it is an archive of links pointing to websites that use midi background music. These websites are predominantly abandoned leftovers from the web 1.0 era (last update 1999...), often with personal content, for example describing the author's hobby. Additional to using midi background music, they are often quite colorful and use animated gifs. In general, their style could be described as "multimedia dirt style".
The LMB website itself is an internet-radio, that provides an interface to these websites. It plays a continuous stream of midi music while showing a space shuttle that is flying through a stream of images. The space shuttle is made of simple elements like a table, a submit button, animated gifs etc. It acts as the radio player, displaying the song's filename, the website's title, as well as providing the user with "stop", "next", and a link to the website to which the user is, kind of, listening. The images, through which the space shuttle is flying, are taken from the website whose background song is being played. When a song has finished playing and the next one starts, images from the new website start to appear.
It is possible (and encouraged) to submit more websites through a little submission form.
