soooooooooo in the 60's you had 20s and 30s revival, in the 70's you had 50's AND 20s and 30s revival, in the 80's you had 50s and 60s revival, in the 90's you had 40's revival and the start of 80's revival and probably more 60's revival too, and in the 21st century so far we've seen 60's and 70's and 80's revival. i'm thinking 2010 should be the year of 1910! its time has come.

fort thunder dudes like chippendale and paperrad or whatev would do weird and wild stuff in their art with thngs like garfield and bart simps, but it was always really mutated and distorted and weird, and generally pretty awesome.

I've been saying this for ages! Falling around Art Nouveau townhouses smashed on absinthe listening to salon music. Doubtless opium would be involved somehow too.

i don't think i like this musical style

lukevalentine, Thursday, 11 February 2010 20:00 (fourteen years ago) link

tbh this thread has left me with nothing but an urge to name a band after a character from Galaxy High and do covers of "Sail Away" and claim it's ironic

sorry mum

I guess I'd better get onto Bucky O'Hare and "Mr Loverman" so I'm ready for the 90s nostalgia wave though

this is just like the american version of ghost box imo

plaxico (I know, right?), Thursday, 11 February 2010 22:36 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah but the 90s didn't have an influx of grunge/indierockers named The Brady Bunch, Scooby Doo, Happy Days, etc.

There were the Groovie Ghoulies. I bet there were others, too.

Yesterday I posted on Facebook that I'd rather listen to Grand Funk Railroad than any rock music released in the last 20 years and I stand by that more than ever after reading this thread.
