i had dreams, that frightened me awake

seriously, yay for the internet!

The other day I was thinking about how imperative the internet is for the music world today, yea yea there are talks of record sales being low, but let's face it, when they were high, the majority of the artists with high record sales were n*sync, backstreet boys, and all that other poop.

This isn't to say that music is necessarily better today than what it was, by no means, its impossible to make that claim. But I can say that we do have a much more democratic way to gaining access to and selecting the music that we choose to listen. And if this isn't revolutionary in a power-to-the-people way, then I don't know what is.

I'm very excited to be living and enjoying music at this time (especially since the end might be near... 2012 is around the corner!) , we have unprecedented access to new bands and sounds from around the world, which makes it for an almost overwhelming amount of music that you can explore.

That being said, the real reason for this post is that Noisepop posted a Deerhunter and Ra Ra Riot concert on youtube. I haven't listened to the RRR one yet, but Deerhunter, as always, is amazing. And if it weren't for the quasi mystical powers of the internet, we would have never gotten a chance to experience these concerts.
