takes the hunt out of getting certain records, and it could be said that those once hard-to-find jams lose a lot of their holy grail appeal. definitely a nod to the immediacy of a culture absorbed with archiving and spreading itself. that said, my thoughts at times are archaic. in the same discussion, i can easily heap praise upon a model of distribution and community which allows a kid in alaska to make perfect baltimore tunes and get them thrown into a mix by a kid in australia, to be downloaded by another kid in canada.
