but i guess that the rejection/reaction of grunge in the early 90s is important and right said fred were around that time of grunge and dont sound much like pearl jam... if britpop was just the same thing it would have probs be called classic indie or nu-beat...but then again you could argue that all this music genre labeling is a lot of music juno w*** employed to make them look like they are doing something and cool because they found the latest art-rock happening and realkly it may have nothing to do with music just pants...

B)--> QUOTE(Neil B @ Dec 2 2008, 05:55 PM) 2317647[/snapback]Yeah I like most of what I've heard by them. "You're Gonna Miss Me" is a '60s psych classic! do you read shindig as well??

wow man didnt realize it was like that - thought that indie and ('mainstream') rock would be the area going stale out of the two (propped up by random synthpoppers :lol: :lol: ) - esp with all the punk stuff but also the hype behind the recent GnR, Metallica, AC/DC albums...

Has anybody caught Underbelly that Aussie crime drama starring Vince Colosimo from the Wog Boy, The Secret Life of Us and Body of Lies (and now also Sally Fletcher from Home & Away!!! Kate Ritchie) thats about the mid 90s gangland war in Melbourne and which has been causing all sorts of fuss in Victoria???

then again seeing as they've been mentioned in the same breath as the hold steady in some reviews (tho think it was also referencing the Replacements' angst at the same time) i can see why someone may want to have but this in here - esp if metal is like a uncharted subculture to them... ...then again maybe certain punk stuff like buzzcocks and the clash would be more suitable in here if they happed to arrive on the scene now (tho i'm guessing tom artrocker would give any new clash a better review than their live album :lol: - tho obv the name would have to be more art-rock and now sound like another rivial music mag :lol: )

Yeah they are the Virgin Megastore - i suppose unlike tesco (and woolies) they wouldnt bother having ones in little towns they think are not worthy of a large music hypermarket...tho towns that used to be served well by MZ

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/63/What_just_happened.jpg Not as good as entourage was it...was alright but give me drama, turtle and co over this anyday!!!

but it could be said that real indie has to channel the jangle of Clark and McGuinn - as when you read reviews of old 1980s bands many of them seem to have a Byrdsian jangle to them and so we're getting more Layrol Canyon than Carnaby Street (btw i may have watched a certain bbc4 documentary again and just misheard my mum saying will young as neil young just now!!! :lol: )

but then again it would just sound almost like the original otoh - a recent interview i read with Jules de Martino from ting tings was like a fantasy band thing where you had to make up your ultimate band from various band memebers - tina weymouth was chosen and de Martino said that Tina's like Katie's hero and that she was very into all that tom tom club stuff - how obv was that answer!!!!

and what other lightweight country style track would you choose instead?? ackey breaky heart??

I don't think her face is her own either - think she's had something done to her head as well David van Day's the best thing in there - would make a brilliant panto villian...he is the only thing making it worth watching as all the rest would be very boring...and even the Hartnoll Brothers agree - watch Orbital's style video - funny how they've used the old Dollar video in the clip :lol: :lol: J-fY1KjjeOc Orbital ft Dollar with David Van Day!!!! - Style iXAW86snV6g Dollar ft David Van Day - Oh L'amour

Great news...not about the Dacia Sandero or the latest bushtucker trial - but Orbital (who are a "rock act in dance clothing" according to Paul Hartnoll in today's Music Week) have reformed and are going to play the Big Chill fest in 2009...a greatest hits set no less..cool!!! J-fY1KjjeOc Orbital ft Dollar with David Van Day!!!! - Style iXAW86snV6g Dollar ft David Van Day - Oh L'amour

yeah eurocheese - much better than saying there commercial pop-dance or whatever mouthful you wanna give it - stick it on a 100 hits comp with all the hinrg/eurodisco/eurodance fodder and leave the djs alone...

but isnt one of the main points of britpop that it encompasses that kinda vibe from the 60s when the beatles and the kinks were about - and so it would have to be an original 60s song - but one of the first in like the 90s to get back to that way after all the synthetic 80s... not watched this video that last few times i had the bowie dvd out - and not interested watching it as i've got laibach on at the moment - tho i think you could be right - think i read this bit of trivia or something like that before somewhere.,..however rumours that the presenter of popular Dave TV show Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld was once the guitarist in right said fred maybe a bit far of the truth (surely theres only 2 blokes in RSF :lol: :lol: )....

9A7K0dRv26I Exclusive: Mode return Depeche Mode return on April 20 with their new album, Teletext can reveal. The as-yet-untitled album follows 2005's Playing The Angel and is again produced by Ben Hillier. Two songs - Wrong and Dave Gahan/Martin Gore duet Peace - were previewed at a press conference in October. They play a one-off gig at London O2 on May 30. It's rumoured the new album will see them leave Mute for a new label. However last time i read something about Depeche - they had signed worldwide to EMI...who are actually the owner of Mute

yeah been hearing loads of hype around La Roux - and some of the pictures of her are very striking - tho have to say its a bit of a let down perhaps a bit too 80s electro-pop for my liking - perhaps more Eurythmics than Depeche Mode (however if La Roux end up sounding more like a real grungey Depeche or even Laibach maybe i'll be more intersted - but this unlikely)

yeah it was good - tho not saying it was like the best film of the year by any mile it did its job and kept me entertained - my dad was watching Enemy of the state the other night and i thought that he would have liked this film as well as its of a similar vibe (and by a similar director as well - it almost like they could be brothers :lol: ) and both would work back to back on BBC three or ITV4 (when its old enough :lol: ) However great stabdout perf by Mark Strong - someone should sign him up to rework that character as an alernative arab (or italian) james bond...

Actually didn't realize this was the Curtis Mayfield one as i thought it was something different before i put it in youtube...and didnt know it was political..esp with Curtis Mayfield on the track...actually listening to it I think their voices work well with each other...even tho its very 80s pop-soul-funk with that chugga chugga sound...tho thats mixed with those 70s style blaxplotation strings underneath that i like - and while its always a pleasure to hear mayfield i think as far as the Blow Monkeys go I'm thinking they seem to be slightly like a second rate ABC - but not too much to get Alexa Chung excited!!! (also in the vocals as well - quite martin fry-a-like - not a bad thing tbh but no mayfield) however even tho to cover a record about Margaret Thatcher would be as pointless as commissioning a bbc three show for ben elton it does get me wondering what McAlmont and Martin Fry would sound like together....esp as that David Arnold shaken and stirred album as been getting loads of plays recently what with bond in the cinemas with David McAlmont on Diamonds Are Forever and Matrin Fry doing Thunderball

yeah man thats the vibe that was coming across in the features ive been reading - and actually what you've said there what was i was thinking (well something along those lines ) an argument about not having grown up in these retro eras you wouldnt have the attachment to certain kinds of rubbish as say some who grew up in those era emotionally attached to it (in the 60s has to adam faith or for those 80s pop lovers on here most that c**p on itv2's now show) as that rose-specticled nostalgia wouldnt be there - and you could get a better perspective of what is decent and what is not perhaps...by putting everything into view? (tho this arguemnt could also be used the other way round with irony and kitsch cheesy stuff - and also certain icons as well who may be valued/rated too highly)

maybe because they know its very sad and tacky (unless for charitee obv or american) wont the ting tings get around to covering christmas wrapping tho at some point in the future....well is ze innit - almost the tom tom club :lol:

yeah that record Banned By The BBC - 1931 - 1957 - was reading about that - but that link doesnt really go into those type of records as mostly ones from the rock era - tho i do see gloomy sunday on the list...think there was a bbc4 documentary of naughty things the bbc didnt agree on in the 1940s/1950s tho i didnt get to see it and i dont know if still on disc.

Was listening to the free Heavy Mod album that was stuck to the cover of Mojo - and me dad asked me to turned it down at the point of Roky Erickson and his kinda psych-to-garage 13th Floor Elevators. well that came on and he was all 'wtf is this' - and making accusations that the band must have been dug up by very desperate compilers from a hole of obscurity...as he had never heard of them and so much not be important in the annuals of 60s rock and pop like dylan or the beatles (tho tbh when i put on his cd player his 60s album seems to be always full of $h!tty adam faith type plinkyplonk cheese...which is much much worse)... so the 13th Floor Elevators is that like really really random, or something that everyone (well not people just obsessed by 1984) would be into - from reading things like shindig they seem to be important and quite cool.... (btw i'm listening to keith sweat on 100 r&b hits now)

so i'll choose for you....Walker Brothers - Make It Easy On Yourself wins!!! think it would be hard to beat that 1965 - 1969 selection tbh... thats because its one of the best records ever writen/recorded!!!

so kylie's first album sold about 14 million copies worldwide - wow thats like loads for essentially a singles artist....and does that include the states as well - a place for not really too keen on gay disco direved fluff - the rednecks of middle america like sticking those type of records in the middle of stadiums and nuking the stuff (and i'm guessing gnr would have been the headbang album du jour in the usa in those days - you can just see it played by those kinda people in their old amc pacers and gremlins as they drive out to best buy)
