The future of music
We'll be lost in music on 5 live Breakfast this week. Our entertainment reporter Colin Paterson will be looking at some of the issues facing the music industry. He'll be asking: if there is enough music on prime time television and whatever happened to all the record shops?
We'll also look at whether age matters when it comes to music and is miming ever acceptable? Or should "live" really mean live? Look out for Shelagh impersonating Britney Spears later in the week.
Across the week, we'll hear from Roger Daltrey, Calvin Harris, Glen Tilbrook, TV executives and music industry experts.
First though, we've had punk, hip hop, garage, Britpop, but what could be the next music scene and where will it come from? We're in a recession - pop is bigger and more bloated than ever - so can we expect another punk-style musical revolution?
We'll be hearing from Hugh Cornwell from the Stranglers, Alex Kapranos from Franz Ferdinand and the drum & bass maestro Goldie.
John Robb, the man who coined the phrase "britpop" and wrote Punk Rock: An Oral History will put it all in context. Plus, we'll be playing plenty of music with attitude.

5LNPI: How are you coping in the big chill? 08 Jan 10
10:30 Fri, 8 Jan 10
Last night was the coldest in Britain this winter so far - the lowest so far is MINUS 21.6 in Altnahara in northern Scotland. How have you been coping? This morning we've been talking about how GCSE and A Level students might have to wait another 5 months if their schools stay shut and they can't do the modules they are supposed to be doing next week. Add that to the power cuts, grit and salt running out, gas shortages, airports closed, people being stranded on roads in their cars, and it's been a week of chaos. And with the snow and ice forecast to stay with us well into next week, how have you been coping and what have you been doing to make sure that you and your family don't grind to a halt as well?

Is the 'Shall we Celebrate the Ashes Win' really the topic for the phone in this morning? If you are a cricket fan yes it is but if you aren't you won't care. Yet again you have chosen a subject that is 'light and frothy' when there are really serious issues going on. You can (and will)go on about cricket all day but give us a decent phone in subject to think about.

New Genre of music? How about TRock?? Yup... Time Lord Rock - all based around the BBC series of Dr. Who.
I found out about this on the charlieissocoollike U-Tube site. Charlie McDonnell, Alex Day, Liam Dryden and Chris Beattie make up Chameleon Circuit. There's a CD out and some great tracks.... especially if you are a Dr. Who fan.
My favourite is "An Awful Lot Of Running" for the Cartoon Video. I also really like "Exterminate, Regenerate" and "Blink". "Type 40" is cool for information about the TARDIS.

Enjoy!

The current over-hyped trend of R&B and pop will have to end, noce people realise how rubbish it is. Maybe with everyone having more time because they've lost their jobs, prog will make a comeback, but that's unlikely. Bands like Pendulum are the future I think, because they appeal to so many groups that would otherwise not listen to each other's music. Crossing the electronic/metal divide is a big thing. People who listen to electronic music view metal as just screaming, whilst metal fans view electronic music as a guy sitting in front of a computer pressing the same button over and over again. In fact, the future will simply move to include more diverse music, which is what has happened once you look below the big selling artists at the top. This is why I don't mind what happens to the industry as a whole. Just as long as Simon Cowell and his one hit wonder pop factories (X-factor) are cast into oblivion as a crime against humanity.
