I've never heard of anybody getting rid of their prized Exile postcards, much less actually writing on them and sending them through the mail to a girl. I watched these two, laughing over this story at the same kitchen table they've shared for thirty years. I realize that I will never fully understand the millions of bizarre ways that music brings people together. Rob Sheffield
About This Quote

Before the internet, people who had an obscure musical taste would have to rely on a friend with the same taste to pass on a rare demo tape. The situation described above is exactly how this would work. However, now that music can be accessed without limitation by simply typing in a search term, there is no need for someone to have a friend with the same taste. Even if that person doesn’t have it on their hard drive, they can still download the song from the internet and listen to it immediately.
