Undergraduates let down by week spelling and, punctuation
Just looking around Buzzjack in general there seem to be certain misspellings that occur again and again. An obsession with the letter A: excellant, independant. Using 'of' instead of 'have' or 'with': should of, bored of. These are surely ignorance rather than keying errors in the heat of the moment. Any others you guys see again and again?

New Retro Discoveries
Discovered this at a car boot sale recently. Kraut rock by Michael Gottsching. They were formerly called Ashra Tempel. Bit like Tangerine Dream, but with guitars. I'm really enjoying it. http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Z0IdFRzgL._SS400_.jpg For the most part I'm with Rob - I seem to accumulate far more singles than albums. Some recent faves include: Glen Campbell - Satisfied mind / Can't you see I'm trying? - jangly folk rock from just before his Jim Webb period. Mercury Rev - In a funny way - sublime wide-screen pop, only from 2005 but I missed it at the time 2Pac with Dr Dre and Roger Troutman - California love - a chart hit but I've only just come across it Barry McGuire - Why not stop and dig it while you can? - only known for 'Eve Of Destruction' but he did several great 45s The Detroit Emeralds - Ode to Billy Joe - early US single from 1968, cover of the Bobbie Gentry hit

music..... what next?
I just hope that if another musical revolution does come along I can appreciate it. I want my attitude to be like John Peel's, who was always open to new things. I don't want to end up like most older people who don't seem to understand anything new that comes along. "it was our generations who did it first!" This is the problem the young have of course - there's nothing to kick against. Us oldsters will jump on the bandwagon and make it totally unhip very quickly!

Perhaps the leaderboard should be started afresh at the beginning of each year? Not that it'll help me much (thanks davidobowie for the 3 points)!! Oh, worthy joint winners by the way. DJ Charly and Russt68 are the benchmark to beat.

This has been going on for more than fifteen years surely! That's where Gwen Stefani started out (in No Doubt). The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are another lot that spring to mind.

music..... what next?
I would have thought that UK garage was more a sub-genre of the ever-evolving dance genre. Surely the arrival of house and techno in the mid eighties was the last truly great musical revolution. It was as groundbreaking as the arrival of rock 'n' roll in the mid fifties. There have been more dance sub-genres since UK garage, like grime and dub-step, but these all seem to happen off the radar (and the radio) and generally don't trouble the charts (Dizzee excepted). Where to next? Most music advances seem to coincide with advances in, or increased access to, technology. The arrival of the electric microphone lead to crooners like Crosby and Sinatra in the 1930s/40s, where previously singers would have to have virtually shouted through a megaphone at concerts to be heard over the band. Advances in recording methods meant less reliance on the brass instruments of the jazz age, which were easy to record because of their volume. This coincided with advances in the development of the electric guitar and electric bass, which paved the way for rock 'n' roll. In the sixties further advances in multitrack recording lead to psychedelia, prog and, slightly later as the technology became cheaper, dub reggae. The arrival of primitive synthesisers lead to everything from cheesy Moog albums to Kraftwerk! In the eighties the arrival of digital recording methods lead to the aforementioned house and techno revolution. The eventual drop in prices of digital synths lead to the dance boom of the 90's. So unless someone comes up with some brilliant new way of making music it's difficult to see where the next revolution is going to come from. Jark is right that this does lead to an increase in available styles, but without the occasional revolution to re-engage everyone's attention music is in danger of stagnating and losing it's relevance to people (especially the young, who need to feel that it is "their" music). Sorry to go on at length but this kind of thing has always intrigued me!
