The best thing about any of this is the fact that people in small dots on the map far away from anything that still yet to have to learn to drive will actually know music beyond the mainstream at the moment instead of years after the fact. This is from someone who was stuck in one for many years well before the Internet age. True, there were the Late Night Radio shows (or, the token "Alternative" blocks stuck on Sunday Nights), the Libraries where could meet up with a like mind if you were seriously lucky, and the odd family shopping trip to the nearby City, but life for someone in living in the Country who was into music before the Internet was mostly a pain.

To be fair, I have very fond memories, but you have to admit that things are better in a way.
