It feels like we're becoming more and more like a race of bubble men/women.
Well, I could bang my head against a wall trying to find people in real life who've ever even heard of Electric Wizard, let alone Reverend Bizarre or Saint Vitus, or I could cut my losses and go where there's a legitimate chance I can actually find like-minded people. Whether or not it puts me in a bubble is sort of beside the point, since, at least when it comes to music, I'll be in a bubble regardless of where I go.

We won. Yon lost. Deal with it.
