That's the problem. You're absolutely right. They really are. But it's not even as though I like them in that oh-so-irritating 'so bad they're good' way. I just like them, which is simply preposterous. It's like women who stick with husbands that beat them. Utterly irrational, and impossibly sad. |

Blur's self-titled is one of the greatest records of the 90s...
Oasis' first album was good...

I think there's definitely a case to be made for Gene being a band for people who like the idea of stadium bombast in theory, but associate Oasis with ghastly football tykes. Genteel stadium indie. There's a niche for you.

I'm not sure if it's a case of enjoying 'stadium bombast' in a theoretical way, but certainly there is a stadium-friendly element within a lot of indie music I like which does manage to satisfy on some arcane level. I suppose The Smiths pioneered this approach of writing big songs about intimate subjects - 'There is a Light and it Never Goes Out' being a perfect example. It manages to rid the traditional stadium rock song of its hedonistic bombast while somehow remaining true to its epic sweep. Where it loses out, especially in the case of a band like Gene (as opposed to The Smiths) is in its self-consciously minascule musical ambition. It's interesting that in their wholehearted bid to mimic The Smiths, Gene chose 'There is a Light ...' as their template rather than the far more expansive 'How Soon is Now?' or 'The Queen is Dead'. |

I note that the members of Blur has found it for some reason a good idea to re-unite (mostly for the pay-cheques, I woulda thunk).
I will personally do time for having the pleasure of murdering Messrs Albarn, James and Rowntree. Mr Coxon would get to live, on the proviso that he would skin Paul Weller's face off.
