Was this what Blake Grape was doing before he went out with Amy?

Before Grape split and he got three other women with transparent violins...

A genuine "best of Britpop" non-cliche compilation would be thoroughly worth it IMO

But what would be on it?

(Lock thread)

This is like one of those Reader's Digest Best Of The Sixties compilations where they couldn't get the Beatles or the Stones so have to make do with six apiece from Billy J Kramer and the Tremeloes ("Some tracks RE-RECORDED by at least one of the ORIGINAL ARTISTS for STEREO ENHANCEMENT").

Many of the bands in the above compilation would be in mine also. But the songs would be different.

11. Denim - 'It Fell Off The Back Of A Van'

haha waht

10. Duffy - 'London Girls'

^^ is this stephen 'tin tin' duffy?

No it's that funny looking bird who sounds like she's being strangled when she sings I think.

(Yeah it is (xpost))

Elastica's Stutter does it for me. That would be #9 only it's prob. in there already

is any triphop allowed?

Trip hop was never Britpop.

And... I mean.... I like Massive Attack and all. But Britpop was so fantastic in its own right it doesn't need to be mixed up with other (and lesser) genres.

pleased about sunday's election results geir?

yeah geir. if you don't think massive attack are britpop you're obviously RACIST.

Pretty sure MC's talking about the Swedish Pirate Party there

A man who has the contents of his Soulseek files talked about by the internet is correct to care about his right to privacy

Britpop must be heavily Beatles/Kinks influenced to be Britpop and must also be very English. Massive Attack had lots of American influences after all. Trip Hop was never Britpop - the only black Britpop musician was the drummer in Ocean Colour Scene, because they weren't an R&B band. R&B is 100 per cent American and cannot possibly be Britpop.

the kinks were JUST A BIT influenced by r&b, idiot.

One of the dudes from the Boo Radleys as well

</whyamidoingthis>

lol fired up GIS for him then Debbie Smith then hit head on desk and thought of 10 better things to do.

"You put your bet on number one and it comes up every time.
The other kids have all backed down and they put you first in line.
And so you finally ask yourself just how big you are -
And take your place in a wiser world of bigger motor cars.
And you wonder who to call on."

More like the Village White Preservation Society amirite?

Geir registers another vote for the Britpop National Party

(whassat from, DK?)

Blimey, Jethro Tull. Are they britpop?

No Jethro Tull were English folk, which is also typically English, but in another, more ethnomusical, way. Britpop is based upon typically english music as in Beatles/Kinks/music hall/vaudeville, not as in old jigs and fiddles.

And as for Nationalist. Yes, Britpop was nationalist. But not in a typical skin colour oriented racist way, rather in a way of stressing how English music is superior to American music so why does the world need American music?

And, you know, the majority of Americans are white too...

I sigh.

And then I cry

and I wonder why.

i wonder what geir thinks of tony bennett.

"not as good as Ocean Colour Scene" presumably.

rather in a way of stressing how English music is superior to American music so why does the world need American music?

yeah because the Beatles and Kinks weren't at all heavily American-influenced. and VAUDEVILLE had nothing to do with the US of course...

The Beatles and Kinks started out as AMerican influenced and then got gradually better and better the more typically English and less American they got. (Until Kinks turned shit in the 70s because they suddenly started to sound American again)

11. Denim - 'It Fell Off The Back Of A Van'

haha waht

Was about to post this.

No Jethro Tull were English folk

I presume you mean the original Jethro Tull, not the band led by Fifer Ian Anderson.

i meant this tony bennett.

And... Well. At least the Beatles did add an immigrant element to their music, but instead of adding an African element brought through corporate America, they added an Indian/Pakistani element, which was much more interesting and also fit much better into the European musical tradition they came out of.

(Plus it was taken directly from the source without being filtered through capitalist corporate American mass production at first)

is he anywhere near 51 yet?

they added an Indian/Pakistani element, which was much more interesting and also fit much better into the European musical tradition they came out of.

I probably shouldn't ask, but how on earth does Indian/Pakistani(LOL) music fit better into a European musical tradition than "American" music, by which I assume Geir means African-American music? It surely fits in less well?

presumably he means they stayed longer in the empire

Feel like posting that exchange between Basil Fawlty and the Major about Indians, but probably best not to

I probably shouldn't ask, but how on earth does Indian/Pakistani(LOL) music fit better into a European musical tradition than "American" music, by which I assume Geir means African-American music? It surely fits in less well?

Because the classical Indian musical tradition is head music, not body music.
