Before the internet really exploded around 2000, our access to music was limited. It began at the record label level. Without a deal, getting distribution of your music was nearly impossible. Even if you did, your music was run through other filters: radio, music video channels, record stores and music magazines.

We lived in a monoculture, driven largely by radio airplay. In tho...
