So right, my 17yr old was going to her first one day festival here last summer and I had a look at who was playing and I only heard of one or two, I said you should go to see Romy and she said no I don’t follow her 🤔

Bet those slip ons cost an arm and a leg and yet still looks like that bloke who’s in the bookies /pub every night with a yellow tache and a smokers death rattle.

What’s ‘mod’ about dressing like it’s 1965?

Also while I’m at it, the relentless fawning over fucking Quadrophenia… Babylon is a far more culturally relevant film even in the 21st century (despite Karl Howman)

The Zone of Interest should have won everything. Oppenheimer was tosh.

It’s a Joseph Albers (or copy) don’t you know. Big Bauhaus bod.

I never got the Mod thing or Northern Soul for that matter or indeed why a few of them suddenly latched on to ALFOS? A tribal connection? I think that’s why I’m always an outsider everywhere, I just don’t fit the t-shirt. I used to beat myself up about cliques and stuff but you eventually realise it’s not worth it.

Mod and Northern Soul are both brilliant (for me). I was a Mod aged 13 and it’s always stayed with me, even through House and partying.

I’ve still got my '65 Lambretta. Love scooters, hate the people (mostly) that ride them. I was only ever in a scooter club for about a year before I realised how many of them were the worst racist Little England xenophobic cun\*s.

So yeah. Don’t get involved in clubs!

As a young mod ticket (14yrs in 79) Northern Soul (and ska) was my very first experience of proper black music and dancing, so has been hugely important to me ever since.  
Most of my punkier mates ended up listening to goth in the 80s, while the Yardbirds/Who mods ended up taking a circuitous route to Zeppelin and heavier stuff.  
Northern Soul saved me 😉

Well spotted. You’re right- Bauhaus / Black Mountain fascinating and I do like that period of art and design, Twombly etc, it’s the way it’s become commodified.

Like I love Keith Haring but I’m also fucking sick of him for the same reason…

I just find the mod thing, preserved in aspic as it is, hasn’t progressed, become a contradiction in terms.

Kind of a shame really

Yeah my Mrs has a big interest in his wife, Annie Albers, have lots of books on them.
