Hey, it's Alan Cross.\nFor the next few weeks of the Podcast, we\u2019re diving deep into the Ongoing History of New Music Archives with a series called \u201cThe Top 100 Moments in New Rock\u201d.\nThis originally aired 20 years ago in the spring of 2004\u2026and we thought it might be fun to hear where we\u2019ve been, how things used to be, and how much everything has changed since.\xa0\nWe hope you enjoy this look-back\u2026\n\nWhen a lot of people look at history, they only look at the big stuff...you know, the wars, the plagues, the disasters\u2013you know what I mean?\nAll those things are important, but they don\u2019t even begin to tell half the story. To understand history, any kind of history is to also look at the little moments\nYou know what I\u2019m talking about...tiny, boring events and decisions that seemed completely innocuous and unimportant\u2013or even meaningless\u2013when they happened, yet eventually the consequences proved to be unbelievably huge.\nThat\u2019s what this ten-part series will be like...we\u2019re going to look at the 100 most significant events in new rock history...some are obvious\u2013you know, the big stuff that made the news...you can\u2019t ignore those...\nBut we\u2019re also going to look at the small things that are at the root of some of the big things...it\u2019s a fascinating way to look at history and society and art.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
