take your point - interesting that black music created forms that anticipated future technology -scratching imitating what samplers would do in the near future - whereas rock has been content to use new technology to produce hyperreal versions of the same old thing - in a way that might be the...

May as well ask why nothing has replaced the punk rock/ new wave/ indie template since the late 70's in white music -it's post- modernism innit?

yeah, and I remember pooling together to buy records; thing is, when i was a kid anyway, records were way more expensive - first LPs I bought - in the 70s -cost me around £2.50 - which, just in terms of inflation, amounts to about £22.50 now or over 30 euro, whereas a CD now costs about half...

Piece in the PRS magazine this month that says the music business has basically lost a generation - nobody under the age of about 20 thinks you should pay for music any more than you pay for TV or the internet - a standing monthly/.yearly charge analogous to a SKY sub or a broadband connction or...

BROTHER D & THE COLLECTIVE EFFORT - HOW WE GONA MAKE THE BLACK NATION RISE brilliant record - taped it off the peel show back in the day, but have never been able to find on vinyl - great chorus; 'How we gonna make the black nation rise?/ Agitate, educate, organise'

.... and it'll be a mac (because, like, PCs are shite)

mostly records on a turntable - sometimes CDs - and i try and sit and listen rather than do other stuff (maybe an hour a day) Can't listen to music and work anymore - less brainpower as i get older. Otherwise radio in the car which can be up to 10 hours a week, I guess. Hated walkmans and so...

i was much taken by a comparison - I think it was here - of the Arctic Monkeys to Kingmaker; it probably wasn't fair - I can't remember what KM sounded like - but it was funny; so, last night, someone was trying to sell me on the Go! Team (hate that exclamation!) and I said they were this...

you forgot exposure; particularly of female infants....

....I'm guessing such statistics would show that young people in Ireland are inveterately miserable.

it would be just as easy to use the same figures to prove that poverty is a main cause of mental health problems in children - a high proportion - most?- single parent families are on state- benefits; who's to say that material deprivation, rather than the absence of a second parent, is not the...

think its been done - and by a Dublin band too; unfortunately it was the Frames ..... (unless they just made it look that way)

one thing to watch out for - in the immediate aftermath of the smoking ban being introduced here, it was a shock getting used to the - previously masked - smell of people in pubs - sometimes nearly worse than tobacco
