But it’s quite obvious it’s about me, because there’s been a real reluctance for me to talk about it.
This is absolutely priceless. I take it that the guitarist used to be in Evil Gazebo too?

When the lead singer of a band makes a point of talking about something, and that becomes the angle (a boring one, might I add) used for promoting their forthcoming record, it is most certainly amusing when they suddenly say they're reluctant to talk about it. And yes, it does bring to mind the character in the Half Man Half Biscuit song 'Used to Be in Evil Gazebo' - read the lyrics and I'm sure you'll see it for yourself.
Now, there's a reason I'm posting these things in the "second thoughts" thread instead of The 1975 thread, which you seem unable to grasp, but primarily because I do not want the thread to be derailed because I know you can't help yourself. Given your above response, I daresay I have a point.

the London with 3m immigrants from around the world? the London with predominately Labour control, enthusiastic support for JC and McD and some of the most leftwing voters in the country? that London? Because assuming you're not an idiot you must mean "Westminster". But that doesn't apply to the rest of us.

what we hate most abt these so-called 'londoners' is their characteristic blend of bellicose hubris, myopic narcissism, strained humourlessness and chippy provincial bad manners
― ogmor, Friday, 7 December 2018 12:44 (five years ago) link
some of us are actual londoners, and not 'so-called londoners', whoever the fuck that is. we live and work here, and exist in the most multi-culturally diverse environment the world has ever seen, a massive population of such. your problems with -so-called londoners' seems rather provincial in that light
― glumdalclitch, Friday, 7 December 2018 12:48 (five years ago) link

I don't have civic pride as such, but I do think it's a little odd to have a problem with the most multi-cultural city on Earth. Kind of, er provincial, almost.

everything you say about London is true, glum, but surely you can see how even the word "provincial" contains within it a slice of what makes us stage provincial long to rip the piss

I like most cities I know and I think about Leeds and come up more or less empty. Maybe some of the buildings round the town hall are alright?

I've been there a couple of times. It isn't a lovable place at all but I do recall it having some sort of Christmas market at least. Generally to be avoided though
― imago, Friday, 7 December 2018 13:34 (five years ago) link
Christmas markets, where you can pay delightfully fairy tale prices for shit gluhwein and fudge
― biliares now living will never buey (Noodle Vague), Friday, 7 December 2018 13:36 (five years ago) link
without turning into Scruton here, I think most of the new buildings in Leeds are a fucking eyesore. And that Bridgewater building that somehow the architects have turned into the perfect wind funnel is a hilarious classic though. It actually causes people to be blown in the air like confetti and blew over a large HGV one day.
Leeds Market is not bad tbf, but hardly worth travelling to.

the dangerous myth of 'london' is an affront to my cosmopolitan values as a citizen of nowhere. "i live in the most multicultural city on earth" the acolytes chant every morning for the duration of their 60 minute commutes. the myth makes working in a sprawling powerhouse of empire more appealing. "diversity is the thing that makes this thing better than the other things" they chant as they pay grossly inflated prices to their overlords.
sadly, rather than take heed of the more philosophically-sound rhizomatic structures of the north of england, where ppl live in a variety of more streamlined locales kept separate by an appropriate level of animosity, the cult of centralisation is being spread. a second powerhouse is proposed, a counterbalance, another pole to offset some of the more egregious effects of the island's cunt-magnet.
