dance party united

(( viva la britpop 2008 ))

Summer of 2008 might go down as the year Britpop finally struck back. Oasis, the Verve and Primal Scream have returned with album vengeance, Brett Anderson is still making music (albeit questionably), Jarvis Cocker is making the DJ rounds and we even heard that Justine Frischmann got an “A” on her visual arts paper at some obscure Colorado university. So much for the Last Party, mista Harris. So with all that in mind, the pill reminds you that modern life is still rubbish, and there’s nothing else to do but dance, drink and screw. Coming up this Friday: another all-night dance party, as DJ Ken spins the best in (new and trusted) Britpop, Modern Indie and Beyond, while Michael V acts accordingly as your electromagnetic host. Love is Noise, so feel the Shock of the Lightning and embrace this Beautiful Future of the past. Look sharp.
