Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 10:19 amFascinating (and contentious) survey of British music:
- dance music is faster Up North (160bpm) than in London (90bpm). (Inverse proportion to average temperature?)
- Two London branches of HMV are responsible for 50% of all classical music sales nationwide. (Given the pathetic classical sections of most 'record stores' -- what does one call them now? -- the trend is not surprising, but the starkness of it is.)
- Leeds: Goth Capital of Britain.
"the authority of critics is being undermined by a raucous blogging culture and an increasingly commercial publishing industry"

Today I have Got Up and intend to Achieve Things. Yiss.
