It's happened in the UK already, and it's called the "Simon Cowell get-rich fund", or "X-factor" for short.

This is true. Just think what the slave trade did, and then there was the great depression, first and second world wars. They all produced some good stuff. Bring it on!!!!

You just get the same ones that we have here, after it has spent 12 weeks on a boat getting over there

Aus does have it's own homegrown bands which are very popular here but mainly unheard of in the UK...NZ even more so. There is a hardcore rockabilly/mod scene in Sydney too.

But that's not what I meant. The UK has always been where these new things start. I wonder if there's something bubbling up there? Grime? (naa, that's derived from garage and not something new)

Tony Wilson said every 13 years a new music scene develops. RIP Tony.
