Stuff the history lesson. I was just wondering what you guys think about British music? IMO the music that comes from our little island is the best in the world, but maybe I'm biased... and happen to still be channeling the vibes from yesters.
I agree if you actually try and think of every successful or different kinds of muscian from Britain since the 1950s to now we have produced an amazing amount for a small country.
I was ashamed of British music from around 1997-2004. We produced such awful pop rubbish, but I'm happy with it currently.
I agree there was some gold plated poo that came from those years. Your musical choice basically either Garage, Manufactured Pop, Nu Metal or Euro cheese dance music.
People complain about the music over this decade but atleast the new acts that have come out usually write their own songs, learned to sing or learned a damn instrument.
I saw a thread in the t.v. forum about a show called The Inbetweeners, so I tried watching it online. It was horrible.
The Inbetweeners is like the British American Pie as a TV show I reckon.
I saw a Graham Norton show with some people I didn't know. Apparently they are reality stars quite famous over there. I think he said their names were Kate and Peter. Anybody know who I'm talking about?
Katie Price is a former page 3 girl and topless model who used to go by the name Jordan. She got famous for having a new boob job every couple of months, dating Soccer players/z list boyband members and getting into arguements with victoria beckham when both their boyfriends played for manchester united. She also made sex tapes and released them to the media for publicity because shes craves the spotlight.
She had a kid with soccer player Dwight Yorke who was disabled which was sad but then she used that to make more publicity by appearing with him in every glossy magazine/tabliod rag and selling her story.
This made everyone feel sorry for her and more family friendly so when she decided to turn herself into a brand and put her name on everything from clothes, 3 autobiograhpies, ect the british public brought all of it turning her into the Martha Stewart of Britain.
She went on a reality show with a washed up Australian Pop Singer from the 90s called Peter Andre. They fell in love live on TV got married had a couple more kids, an media circus wedding which loked like an 8 year old girls pink fairytail and got their own reality show the type they show on E! where nothing really intresting happens.
Katie Price books are the biggest selling in britain of whatever year they come out. Their are numerous polls where young girls say they would rather get their boobs out like Katie and get rich than become a laywer, doctor because it sounds like too much hardwork all of Britain lets out a depressing groan, the Daily Mail starts saying broken Britain and we have lost are morals why can't it be like the 1950s when everyone knew their place ect.
Katie Price makes 30 million pounds and woman start claiming shes a feminist icon and modern day marlyn monroe because she used her big boobs to trick men into buying into her brand when really the only guys who find her attractive are the kind that looked at their sisters barbie dolls and thought they where hot.
Her main fanbase is tweenage girls, those orange 15 to 25 year old girls who wear loads of make up and little clothes who buy into her and see her as her story as aspirational.
Thus ends my little rant/explanation
Haha. I love that name.
