Lester Bangs’ Basement: What it means to have all music instantly available

An interesting argument to make, certainly, but Wyman is wrong: the fact remains that not all music is as available as he supposes. For starters, virtually all of his references are to work generated by mainstream artists! For many of the things I like, I still have to do the internet equivalent of crate digging. And the value in that isn’t in procuring things that others don’t have. I can only wish I could find all the things he says are so instantly available.
