I'll just wait for them to filter through to the mainstream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;So I was quite excited to see on Richard &amp;amp; Judy a feature on the "exciting new British talent" to break through: Kaiser Chiefs, Hard Fi, Magic Numbers, Arctic Monkeys and of course &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/babyphone-20"&gt;Babyphone&lt;/a&gt;. I haven't decided if I can really like these bands yet, for I've feared they are still a little too credible. Now, however, I think it may be safe to buy a &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/buy-garmin-gps-20"&gt;Garmin GPS&lt;/a&gt;. If some trendy young thing can just let me know that there is now a vicious a backlash against them for having sold out to The Man-&lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/goldbracelet-20"&gt;Goldbracelet&lt;/a&gt;, I'll know I'm definitely okay to do so. And I find beautiful &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/studearrings-20"&gt;studearrings&lt;/a&gt; for my wife also on Amazon. That's where we also got our &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/weddingbands-20"&gt;weddingbands&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An added highlight was to hear Judy group Sheffield and Staines together as "the provinces".... in a new &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/dvd-player-shop-20"&gt;DVD&lt;/a&gt; special.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;BTW: Yep, I reactivated my old blog again!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4662746557804104212-6546236056223308117?l=twtud.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4662746557804104212/posts/default/6546236056223308117'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4662746557804104212/posts/default/6546236056223308117'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twtud.blogspot.com/2007/09/new-britpop.html' title='A new Britpop?'/><author><name>Mark Pocan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17748674609776958373</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
