And speaking of nutcases…. “The British Dialogues” is a (very partial) record of the newsgroup war that erupted earlier this year when self-proclaimed musical revolutionary ‘Art S. Revolutionary’ invaded uk.music.alternative to spread his visionary gospel (Summarised: that 4 old men controlled all music and there had been no true hits in the US since 1980). uk.music.alternative wanted none of it: sparks flew. This is an edit by Mr.Revolutionary himself, so a lot of the best jokes have got cut out, boo hiss.
