What happens to the music? Do you often go back and listen to what''s been DL'd last year? Also some albums aren't just some tunes thrown together; they are constructed as linked pieces, designed to be heard in order--do you keep such albums together? It seems music is being increasingly splintered and commodified. Partially because of this, music has faded meaning unless you go to the alternates, the margins. Which fortunately are thriving and info about them is too. The mainstream is becoming way too bland and predictable--is that where R&R and other formerly outlaw music has wound up? I specifically include rap.
This is not a personal attack, Ms. Ashy--after all I guessing you were shaped in and by the modern world and I can be huffy and stuffy...
