We often forget how good we have it. We live in a world of high-speed broadband Internet, 3G connectivity, and Wi-Fi networks, and it’s made us reliant on things that didn’t even exist ten years ago. Could you go back to listening to commercial radio all the time? I didn’t think so. Still, if an alternative like Spotify had existed way back in the 1980s, it probably wouldn’t even have been that great.

All told, that clip of “Axel F” sounded pretty much like I remember it.
