Or at least thats the current model. And it may still work for a while with customers too undiscriminating or unenterprising to ferret out more demanding and rewarding music with the help of public and college radio stations, music journalists, remote corners of the Internetor, like, you know, friends?

Listening to such artists isnt just about the music: its the smart peoples secret handshake.

Unless we direct this information technology crap in the right direction, its going to be what shackles our cultural growth and identity to the LCD. Generic American culture, available for purchase at your local Target, Wallmart, and Blockbuster.

Or at least that’s the current model. And it may still work for a while with customers too undiscriminating or unenterprising to ferret out more demanding and rewarding music with the help of public and college radio stations, music journalists, remote corners of the Internet—or, like, you know, friends?

Listening to such artists isn’t just about the music: it’s the smart people’s secret handshake.
