The article discusses the unease at the ease with which people can access the past via the click of a computer mouse. It highlights the availability of past music and pop music's fascination with its own immediate history, from revivals and reissues to band reformations and reunion tours. It discusses the plausibility of changing the nature of present culture due to the availability of so much of the cultural past.
