The present art scene offers other creations: paintings that are an eye-blinding dazzle of stripes; canvases that are cantilevered from the wall right over the living-room sofa; gadgets that jiggle, wiggle, writhe and spin.

Only 300 new records find their way to radio stations each week. Of these 300, the average teeny-bopper station will spin about 20. And more than half of the 20 come from established groups...
