michaelicious:
That is definitely a better way to look at it than getting all bummed out because I wasn't a college student in North Carolina in the 90's. I think my earlier comments stemmed from the fact that for most of my music-listening life I was a pretty avid supporter of the position that live music is always better, but for the past couple years I have become less convinced of that as I discover that most of my favourite bands are bands that I never actually got to see live.

I am pretty lucky to live in a town with such a friendly and vibrant music scene, so I'll just be happy with that instead of moping about how I never got to see Archers of Loaf.

Sox:
Exactly. Get involved in your own music scene instead of regretting you weren't a part of somebody elses. Don't place any importance on a factor that shouldn't affect the way you hear the record.

Christophe:
I guess you're right, Sox. I'm probably just feeling meh about where I am right now since I'm probably one of the only people in town remotely into noise rock or punk of any kind, though there is a small music scene in town and I just turned 21, which means I get to go to the bar where if any cool shows happen, they happen there. There's also a cool (but small) post-rock scene in my hometown that I try to support every chance I get.

Cernunnos:
That's a good point, Christophe. People shouldn't forget about the music being made in their own metaphorical backyards. I almost forgot about the bands in my town, and hell, even my school. Some of them are pretty good. I mean, some are awful, but hey. It works out.
