Look here: a neat YouTube video on the history of the Amen break, beginning with genesis as a 6-second instrumental bridge in the middle of a B-side of an obscure Sixties soul record by The Winstons, and charting its evolution into an endlessly repeated/reworked/ simulated/sampled/dissected building block of modern musical culture. The guy’s voice is a bit monotonous and he doesn’t like Squarepusher, but hey, that’s not a deal-breaker.

Along similar DIY broadcasting lines (I’m calling it “Vidipedia”, but not in polite company), I recommend Woebot TV - a guy called Matt, who likes prog records, dancing around with a TV on his head. Oh yeah, and I did a blog on the Guardian page as well. On reflection I think it might be a bit contrived but go take a look anyway, and maybe leave some nasty comments - I’ve heard you’re no-one in the blogosphere unless you’ve filled a few comments boxes with people who hate your guts.
