a mix between The Stone Roses and Primal Scream with the swagger of Oasis

I think for many young Scots the whole laddism thing meant wearing slightly different clothes to get drunk in.

I have a pretty bad fashion sense I think, but I do understand that this means I Need Not Apply to be a mod

"So it's all that Scott Seward's fault then."

i am more than happy to take all blame. i was enjoying the folksiness of the pictures. even mundane subcultures are kinda interesting to me. i mean, there is jam band culture here. and the similarities between jam band nation and mod nation would be that the new bands are just as inspired by the less than inspiring 4th wave of bands like oasis or kasabian (who were inspired by the jam and primal scream who were inspired by...) as they are the originators of the looks and sounds. which is why all the pictures look so faded and nondescript and generic. a copy of a copy of a copy... in the case of the jam bands the pictures just get more colorful and clown-like as you get bands who were inspired by phish and other latecomer drug doofuses.

I will, of course, rep a lil bit for some kasabian stuff.

hope you die of pneumonia then

shit wrong login

lol cap'n save-a-haircut

anyway the best part of the thread has been the ridiculous press kit statements

I hope danny rose plays every spurs game for the rest of your life then deems

this is vicious stuff, vicious.

and always thrilling when the person who literally cannot make a sandwich pops up to call something boring

wha happen

to this perfectly enjoyable point-n-laff thread

well now two guesses

one should do

i was enjoying the folksiness of the pictures. even mundane subcultures are kinda interesting to me.

i feel this

darragh i quite like some kasabian songs too, let's start a band

i'll write your press release

how do you feel about "a mix between the stone roses and primal scream with the swagger of oasis" - just something off top of my head

don't forget to put your own modern unique spin on it

"a mix between Acker Bilk and Lonnie Donegan with the swagger of Tommy Steele"

tommy steele rocked really hard and he looked awesome so if you are starting one of these bands don't look to him for inspiration. acker bilk on the other hand....

lg you're hired.

put in something about how we're the antidote to all the manufactured shit that's in that charts now

actually call yourself 'ear drummers'

all-purpose band member quote for every occasion: "it's all a bit rubbish, innit?"

Steady there, Acker broke the US in a way Oasis, Blur, Stone Roses etc etc could only dream of.

Get Racoon Tanuki involved with this band ffs

There is a part of me that would love to dress up like a shit failed mod for the hilarity factor. Comb over the bald spot, try not to look like a crimewatch photo-fit and wear a completely ill fitting suit for the first time in my life, viola! instant ace face tragedy! Once an uncle of mine who was a survivor of Artane child abuse travelled to Dublin for a witness court appearance, symbolically dressed up as a catholic priest, with dog collar, robes et al.

Once an uncle of mine who was a survivor of Artane child abuse travelled to Dublin for a witness court appearance, symbolically dressed up as a catholic priest, with dog collar, robes et al.

I'll be over in March! I'll bring some tunes. It's all about the tunes. The tunes and the passion.

Swinford Mods here we go.

He is featured in this Guardian article which doesn't really belong on this thread. I'd guess he was having a laugh but some might say* that he is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

ah sorry to derail and ask on this light-hearted thread - very interesting article, not really seen anyone try to draw conclusions like that before. my mum is from glin, though i guess your uncle is the man talking about artane.

Yeah that's him, I shouldn't really be posting it on here but just thought it would add a bit of light to the incident I mentioned upthread.

american equivalent is depicted here (our version of the ridic press kit statements)

The suspect is described as a white man, aged in his late teens to early 20s

I used to work in regional news about 7/8 years ago and we did a lot of stories that came via the police, about a bookies being robbed or whatever. It was fairly common for the police press release to just say "the suspect is described as a black male". But if it was a white person they'd be wearing "a distinctive orange sports top" or whatever.
