Fancy some future Macaulay rummaging among such a store, and painting therefrom the salient features of the social and commercial life of England in the XIX century.

What might not be gathered some day in the XXI century from a record of the correspondence of an entire people?

...messages to and from merchants, members of congress, officers of the government, banks, brokers, police officers, parties, who by agreement had met each other at the two stations, or had been sent for by one of the parties; items of news, election returns, announcement of deaths, inquiries respecting the health of families and individuals, the daily proceedings of the senate and house of representatives, orders for goods, inquiries respecting the sailing of vessels, proceedings of cases in the various courts, summoning of witnesses, messages in relation to special and express trains, invitations, the receipt of money at one station and its payment at the other....

New Yorkers take to the sounds

out of London this year to figure prominently in the New York scene – after their debut album release.

As promotion starts for the second Twighlight film (New Moon, released in November in the US), Paramore’s worldwide popularity continues to surge, and their scrobbles jump to 1.4M at the beginning of September, triple what they were at the end of August.

After appearances on and the Late Show with David Letterman to promote their release Decemberists continue to rear their heads in the NY scene.

Phoenix, one of the few European bands to get seriously noticed in the US, double their scrobbles globally with the release of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix in May, and then continue to get love from New Yorkers and abroad with the re-release of single ‘1901’ in the late summer.

Massachusetts- based Passion Pit lit a fire in the New York club scene late last year. By the time Manners comes out in May, they

NEW YORK

THE WORLD

American band Animal Collective get love at home and abroad. Currently based in NYC, they have a constant, mighty presence in the city’s music scene all year long. Tagged “experimental” by fans on Last.fm, they’re the only band of this appellation to make the Top 40 this year.

New Yorkers take notice of hometown electro-pop diva Lady GaGa before she rocks the rest of the world. A veteran performer, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta had been

gigging in the Lower East Side long before Akon noticed her (while she was working as a songwriter at Interscope)

and convinced the chairman to sign her to a joint deal with Interscope and Akon’s Kon Live distribution label.
