"Recordings aren't time sensitive. You can hear the music you want whether it's morning, noon, or the middle of the night. You can get into clubs virtually, sit in concert halls you can't afford to visit, go to places that are too far away, or hear people sing about things you don't understand, about lives that are alien, sad, or wonderful. Recorded music can be ripped free from its context, for better and worse. It becomes its own context."
