The Feeling:

They are like a Performa Condom. At first, it all seems quite good, it's all sort of happening, but two minutes in you notice there is no sensation, and the excitement is gone.

kasabian sound like early 90s madchester once-removed. a kasabian song popped up on my shuffle the other day, and for the first two minutes i was certain it was an old charlatans song. charlatans may be from birmingham, but the whole affair is very stone roses

i'm not british and have zero concept of what it was like to be in a particular city around a time when a particular style was pervasive. i can only sense similarities in style from simply listening to the music. i don't know about the lifestyle or the trademarks of a certain place, therefore the specific geographic origins of a british band means very little to me and i frequently get it wrong.

Joni Mitchell, amongst her many crimes and the many reasons to hate her she wrote these lyrics:

"Now we are black and white
Embracing out in the lunatic New York night
It's very unlikely we'll be driven out of town
Or be hung in a tree
That's unlikely! "
