DonnyTJS Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Man, where to start ...? Paul Weller succumbed to the smooth, insidious charms of soul/rnb (not in itself 'wrong', but no band as tight picked up the reins of mod-influenced rock/pop). There's an argument that nowt went wrong with Ian Curtis. He confronted the shit of the late-seventies; he enabled the rest of us to see it through a new perspective; he put on Iggy Pop's The Idiot; he got out of it all. There's a certain rightness in all that. An electorally viable reaction emerged to the cold-war wallowing in post-colonial liberalism that took advantage of the disjunctions inherent in a gloriously inefficient, relatively affluent industrialized society meeting the resurgent trading juggernauts that were the nations it had been a part of defeating a little over a generation before. Technological innovation and the expectations it inspired meant the end of drumming, amateur TV announcers, slide-rules, solitude, dancing to the radio, coking plants, monoculture, the 'high street', dead rivers, memory, Vesta curry, community, rickets and a whole lot more. Some twat invented the internet. Stuff like that ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
