Garage is just what British people call house music. The term came from the
Paradise Garage, a nightclub that was started back in the mid '80s in New
York City by Frankie Knuckles, a DJ who is regarded by many as the father of
house music.

Uh oh...new music genre term here...

What is "Garage" music? It's obviously a different kind of "Garage" music
known in America (i.e. Garage band, etc...) and since a DJ is involved
it's more likely than not dance music. So what are the elements of this
"Garage" music? (And will there be a listserv dedicated to it? - just
kidding!)
