Hmm, toytown trumpton? Lol. Ok, fair enough but I don't mind that really. In it's own way, mod is pop..and thats whats so fun about how the music industry can work...I really like some Blur stuff, the disco pop ended numbers and most of Parklife, which took some obvious influence from Jerry Dammer's later works. Some of they're rock numbers are ok when they get a goofy hook going, but one thing is for certain, they're indie rock stuff is not fun....AT ALL. And when they thought they were writing "gospel" numbers on that last full length? YIKES! I think it's great when decent bands chart because I'd rather see Blur or the Cardigans cashing in on all that pop money than always watching it go to Matchbox 20 or Creed.... T-Shirt with suit? You might as well be taking fashion ques from Jerry Seinfield. Oh yeah & Sara, I really wouldn't be so concerned with "why" the uk this or that....they have just as many squares they're as we do here, they just take different forms. I mean every time I visit there I proudly stand out looking like a nutty futurustic member of the Beach Boys....Personally, I like the differences between american & british takes on things, it makes things more interesting. Basically, alot of traditional mod culture is soley based off of american music and just filtered through alot of silly wordplay.... :) >From: CATHERINE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: Blur's artiness >Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 10:52:43 -0400 > > >I must admit I don't like Blur - I think they're music is a bit too toytown >trumpton, plus when you >start hearing your work colleagues telling you that they like them......you >know there's gotta be >something wrong with the band.... > >On wearing t.shirts with a suit....it might work down some trendy bar in >town but doesn't scream "Mod" > now does it ?! - I like plain t.shirts with denim peddlepushers in the >day >- as for Belle >and Sebastian t.shirts...come on - not ultra chic is it ? - Mind you I'll >admit I've got a studded >"Let it Rock" t.shirt which always amuses my boss. > >As for female singers...well depends what you're looking for...I've just >been looking at the girl groups >website which features all the ladies from Motown and other labels etc. >etc. >Dusty's o.k.
