Hi, lirqa/ Good to hear someone's interested in Britpop here, but as far as I realized: Britpop was first introduced to describe bands like Oasis/ Blur/ PULP...etc., while the bands that you mentioned couldn't all be catalogued to that genre (to me), some of them were not so British, and some of them were just not so "pop" at all. I'd rather simply conclude them to alternative rock. Well, genre arguings were really vapid, there was no denying that you've a good taste in music (while Chris Martin was still cool to me =.=). I ceased band-hunting couple of years ago, and haven't listened to half of the bands that you introduced, perhaps there were only certain "seats" in my mind for the rock bands, once they were occupied, it's hard to find a new chair for the new comers. Would you mind if I borrow your thread to find some ECM pals here #_#? By the way, my personal alternative bests were "Radiohead", "Mogwai", "Sigur Ros", "Four Tet"....., and rock favorites were "Doves", "R.E.M", "PULP", "Wilco", "Travis"....., we don't share much in common, huh? :p ECM favorites were "David Darling", "Ketil Bjornstad", "Bobo Stenson Trio", "Ralf Towner". Check them out if you're interested. :) ※ 引述《lirqa (I Parade Myself)》之铭言： : Hello, Julia: : First of all, thanks for your reply. It's a big surprise to get a reply so : soon. I don't know if you're also the board mate of Brit-pop on PTT. If you : are, you'll know what kind of music that I refer to. Maybe it's not so : "British" and "pop" in a way. I admit that Robbie Williams and Coldplay are : very popular in either Britain or here. However, unfortunately they're not my : cup of tea. I was into Coldplay two years ago but not any more. Let me type : some of bands that I'm listening to for you. See if you know one or two of : them? "Death In Vegas", "The Rapture", "Stars", "The Futureheads", "The : Crimea", "The Automatic", "Kasabian", "Razorlight", "Lostprophets"… As to : "the watery elegance", I have no idea what it is. Maybe you could explain it : for me. Thanks again. : By the way, guess what? I'm going to join the JLPT in December. Which means : Japanese is my second foreign language, just the same as you. Maybe we could : discuss something about it next time. : AL -- Nothing | but your Love --
