Back To The Future (Again)

Despite thirty odd years of post-modernity - y’know, the cultural pick’n’mix mash-up from wherever and whenever to make summat new – over in the ‘dunces corner’ of criticism are frustrated calls for ‘something original’, mumblings of ‘theft’ and the purity of real music, as if some genius will emerge from the lab , holding aloft the musical DNA for a new, untouched genre. Hooray!, but for the fact it goes against the real creative ebb and flow, cross-pollinated and  irreverent way music is born. Magic. Indeed, if you don’t know your past, you don’t know your future, which is why Lady Sov is doing The Cure, Flo-rida re-rubs Hi-NRG and ‘chicks-wiv-synfs’ queue up for pop glory, a vague obsession for the 80’s hot on the heals of last seasons obsession with ermm... the 80’s. No change there then and nowt wrong with a bit of pop fun, no matter how it ends up on your DAB.
