I expect 2.6 responses by the weekend

I am starting this thread with not nearly enough coffee in my system. But all the britpop and techno threads were getting predictable by themselves so I think it's time we all just got together and had a nice civilized fight.

i'm waiting for the new wave of Detroit Britnopop - wherein Union Jack waving footie hooligans make tense and moody 4/4 tracks with old skool 909 kicks and a vocodered phil daniels speaking about aliens in his lager

Is the world really ready for a Common Strings Of People Life mashup?

― TOMBOT, Thursday, 29 July 2004 13:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Also Blur should cover "No UFOs"

You have made me a happy man.

Clone 500 copies of Jarvis Cocker and collectively they may be able to take a few of Detroit techno's finest.

Otherwise, this is a rumble that those poncey Brits can't possibly win.

sadly i cannot fathom the Mayday/Cocker mash-up otherwise i would probably attempt it

it is slowly beginning to take shape in my head, but I have not the technology for such adventures. I am of course thinking more of the Jeff Mills rmx of Strings and not the original, as I am usually inclined to do. I dunno where one would find an a cappella of Jarvis' vox though.

Jeff mills could do a mean mix of Song 2 I bet.

maybe there's an acapella of the Shatner re-rub

(omg best thing ever)

detroit techno is a bit overrated, but awesome anyway. i was listening to "landcruising" last night and it still sounds fresh. britpop wasn't fresh to begin with, the only half decent song is "girls and boys".
