Music fans in Britain are arguing over a list in this month's Q Magazine, compiled by a panel of music journalists who picked "100 ground-breaking, world-altering songs that changed music and the world forever." The top pick? Elvis Presley's "That's All Right."

While debating the world-altering merits of the song, consider that the grunge band Nirvana also made the list with "Smells like Teen Spirit."

Others in the top 10: "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" (The Beatles), "God Save the Queen" (The Sex Pistols), "Rapper's Delight" (Sugarhill Gang), "Strange Fruit" (Billie Holiday), "Like a Rolling Stone" (Bob Dylan), "Walk This Way" (Run DMC), "Blue Monday" (New Order) and "Do They Know it's Christmas" (Band Aid).

Planning art strategy

The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts is hosting "talk story sessions" to discuss a five-year strategic plan.

A session will be held at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 30. Participants meet in the Campbell Building's Laulima Room. Reservations are requested.

To register, call 523-8688 or e-mail msrinfo@msrhawaii.com.

Portraits to wear

Personalization is hot this season, and Florinda's Treasures, a line of nostalgic jewelry created by two sisters from Kalihi, is on it.

Florinda's can put a favorite photo (of a valentine, perhaps?) inside a tiny frame that hangs from a lapel pin in the shape of a heart, or a key to your heart, for $110.

If your valentine is of the furry variety, a leather necklace with a pendant photo of a favorite pet is $98. Framed photo bracelets also make great gifts.

Valentine's Day orders must be received by Feb. 5. Call Riches Kahala at 737-3303 to order.

Correction: The State Foundation on Culture and the Arts is holding one talk-story session to discuss a five-year strategic plan this week, at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Campbell Building in Kapolei. Other meeting times listed in a previous version of these breifs were wrong. The Tuesday and Wednesday meetings were held last week.
