In the old days music used to be a collective experience. People would gather together and experience it together in the same space and same time. Some of this collective experience got lost with the invention of recorded music. Everyone could listen to the music in his own space and time.
But not all of it got lost. I know that thanks to rigid release dates may of us heard the same music in the same time of the year.
I'll bet that most of can imagine spring time when they hear Murray Street just because we heard it together for the first time when it was spring.
Now when new music is being leaked we are losing even this aspect of collective experience. I think it is too bad what are your thoughts?
