As a case in point, I submit this — JC didn't get the N.P.R. interview because he's been playing gigs (most likely). He got it because of Thing A Week and because of the substantial effect he's had through the Internet. That tells me that Internet stuff leads more directly to mass media exposure than playing to a bar full of people.
As soon as Jon Stewart breathlessly begs him to come on The Daily Show because of an awesome show he put on at Gary's Roadside Steak Shak in Poughkeepsie, then I may change my opinion.
