Indienesia

[Dunners]

I think I've come across one of the more bizarre youth musical movements. Apparently, the kids of Jakarta are massively into late 80s / early 90s UK indie, with regular club nights and tribute bands.

[Dunners]

Apparently they're not into Blur, because they think they're sh*t.

[CEB]

That looks about twenty times more fun than any indie night I’ve ever been too

[Dunners]

Latest news as this craze for Britpop grabs Indonesia.

[Constanza]

Books holiday.

[CEB]

There’s something proper lovely about this

[Proposition Joe]

Komodo You Remember the First Time?
Kevin Jakarta
Medan Abnormal

[CEB]

Indokneesup Mother Brown

[Dunners]

Tsunami

[CEB]

Ooooff.

I always held that the moment I knew the manics were doomed as a big band was when Newcastle fans didn’t adopt Tsunami as a terrace chant

Time has changed my opinion on Blur. Used to think they were sh*t - looking back I've come to the conclusion they're were utter sh*t. Every time I hear Parklife I have an almost uncontrollable urge to do harm to Damon Albarn.

Parklife is sh*t. The weird thing about blur is that they were essentially two bands - one a quite awkward and interesting guitar band with an ear for a melody, the other a lowest common denominator exploiting that melodic knack to make ear worms they seemed to barely be able to tolerate themselves.

When they were a bit more sincere, they were a lot more interesting. I bet I could suggest five blur songs right now that you could listen to and be like “OK fair enough THAT is great”

More than two months on, and I'm still proud of this thread's title.

I've given this some thought. 5 is a stretch. "To the end" is the only passable track I can think of. Charmless Man makes me itch.

If we're doing contrary hot takes, mine is that their finest moments bookended their career - There's No Other Way and Out Of Time.
