He's right. I used to listen to really accurate,
expensive, analog music all the time, on a
pricey stereo. Now I've got a 25-dollar
Chinese CD player and a wonky laptop.
And I listen to pretty much anything I scrape up,
online or elsewhere.
Basically I have the audio surroundings
of a Brazilian favela.
