What ever happened to Britpop? - by Simon Reynolds, Salon.com
"The Brit Box" evokes an era of pale, sensitive, eyelinered boys -- and the Anglophiles who loved them.

  • Fascinating: This is a complex, detailed, multi-level 'algorhythmic' analysis of Contemporary and Historical British Culture from a 'Citizen of The United States of America'?????...Or is he a Brit? ....Which, correct me if I'm wrong: Doesn't event mention Nirvana!....Or Jimi Hendrix....or Scissor Sisters...or The B-52's....or why so many Yank bands have to slog it out around these damp islands before the Land of The Free 'recognise' their own home-grown talent.....

    Usual M.O.B.O White-Middle-Class-Guilt Trip.....unless, of course, this 'Simon Reynolds' is a person of colour (color), in which case the 'case for the prosecution' is even more....troubling!

    How many 'Indie' bands have won M.O.B.O awards?
    As Black Uhuru so beautifully put it: “the whole world is Africa, but it’s divided in continent states,”

    Whether it's sexuality, 'race' or music- "Just like closets: Labels are for clothes, whether Gucci or Matalan, who cares?".......

    Ho! Hum! I wonder if he was actually paid in pounds/dollars/euros or loonies for this 'analysis'? Like most journalists, he has read both 'too little and too much' and has consumed his mind in a 'memetic holocaust'.

    It is extremely 'arousing’ and I will post a detailed textural analysis......laters.....init? If I can be arsed......

    But for now, friends and foes: I was going to have a quick Tommy Tank after the kids went to bed, but I have received an arousing txt invite to a 'gang-bang-caravan-orgy' near Strensham Services on the M5. So, more on this 'laters'.......as my teenage boy still says, even though I've told him:
    "That is......so over, girlfriend!"

    PS: I wonder what Led Zep are playing now, tonight @ 22:50pm GMT. And, with all my 'friends and connections': Even I couldn't get a ticket!
    Boo Hoo!

    PPS: I’m listening to The Shins as I write this. Is that allowed? Or am I ‘too old‘? Or should I be listening to M.I.A?
