But I never had the inclination to commit enough time and energy to checking out the local and underground music scene. Doesn't mean I don't completely appreciate the underground music scene for what it is. It give anyone a chance to give it a shot, it gives those that want to commit the time and energy to pay attention to find those great gems, and it acts as kind of a natural filter for stuff with broader appeal to get some air play.
I see YouTube as creating the same kind of culture and community for video. It's finally reached the accessibility that music has had for the last century or so. I spend little to no time at YouTube and allow blogs to be my guide. Much as I spend little to no time in bars or independent record shops and allow KCRW to be my guide.

Exactly what I wanted to convey in my prior post, only much better stated.
