The age of availability
The internet is a resource that never ceases to amaze me. With time more and more gobbledewoggle is added and at the same time quality content finds it way as well.
One of my favorite sources has become the Internet Archive that is rapidly expanding. Apart from all kinds of film and video content this archive has a large audio section. Anyone interested in vintage music should take a look here. The amount of classical music isn't overwhelming, yet, but if you're interested in Enrico Caruso just take your pick. It is all there for us to listen to.
With Google planning and implementing all kinds of fancy stuff and the BBC at the verge of opening their archives to the public we all experience the rise of the age of availability.
And being the archive addict I am, I just can't wait for the process to speed up just a little more.
