I understand the allure. With the innernets you never run into the crazy guy trying to build a radio station in his attic, not knowing it's illegal. You don't the girl who shaved her head so she could better wear a different neon wig every day. You don't hear a bunch of kids talking about how they like the afternoon talk show host when you assume they should be listening to alt rock.
For me, Repo Records was my haunt between jobs every Friday. Every time I listen to L7 or the MTV 120 I remember it. I also remember 120 which was a kick ass show, back when MTV played music.
