but more seriously, if i sit and wonder about what the next "big" thing will be, i always get depressed wondering if this "break" will be thanks to the hands of advertisers. nick drake's sales and popularity jumped after car ad, right? i know moby's did.
but then what about the sex pistols? especially since they themselves started as a walking ad for mclaren & westwood's shop. so maybe big movements, worthy as they might be for sparking new movements and bands, are inseparable from the workings of the mass media ...

screamadelica has "higher than the sun" on it = it is great (coupled with several other great songs.) i wouldn't be able to make claims for it as a revolutionary/groundbreaking album, but it's full of great pop music...

plus, what these hoary old rock men dont realise is that they might no like the next revolution/big thing/whatever. what they really should say is "we are waiting for some white men to make another rock album"

yes it is. mostly bad, often virtually unbearable. but it's also something of an art form in its own right.
