Discogs Electronic Mod from 8-2-07 "Record stores are slowly dying off, but one marketplace is healthier than ever. RA's Richard Carnes takes a look at how Discogs has changed the face of record buying".
Hectic History
Been buying and playing tunes since I was about 13 starting out with prog rock like Yes/Gong/Zappa/Brit Rock (Thin Lizzy, Be Bop Deluxe etc)] and gone through Punk, Mod, Ska, Reggae phases with John Peel as my guru in musical taste. However, soon got into Soul and Jazz Funk after 'finding' Gilles Peterson on Kiss & Jazz FMs & and got into 'real' Jazz & Latin. Now more into the future jazz/beats/latin/hip hop/dub/Northern-6T's-Modern-nu-Soul'n'jazz.
