Really? Which ones? They all seem to work for me.

Very good, thanks.

By the way most of your links don’t seem to work.

Cheers,
Jason.

I would vote for you. If you could add on the spot euthanasia for those playing music via mobile phone speakers anywhere in public, you’d be a shoo-in.

The previous comment is a pingback from KaM’s blog where he’s done a very detailed essay on the Boys.

It’s very good. (Not least because he pulls out a quote from here with the words “Rob Morris says it perfectly” which fair made my day.)

In case you missed it, the link is http://royalarbor.wordpress.com/2009/03/14/pop-art/ and I’ll try and find a better way of displaying pingbacks going forward.

Well done you!

(Actually I don’t for one moment think your viewpoint has been changed at all. But at least we’ve now had a virtual dialogue. And then we can argue in person and give up at a later date.)

But the video is still stunning. I mean… dozens of Chris Lowes. What’s not to love?

Well I’ve been told!

Now I have a different viewpoint…

I don’t think that’d be a good idea.

It’d be like the cake incident all over again.

Er… right. But the point of the Pet’s version is that it’s been tweaked to be more… hopeless. They explicitly intended it to be about a Utopia which can’t be realised (the lyrics are different and there’s an additional middle bit to that effect) so the march towards capitalism as an ideal in the video is also to be taken as equally misguided.

I believe the parallel came up because the chord progression sounds vaguely like the Soviet Anthem. (As well as being almost identical to that in Pachabel’s Canon in D.)

And anyway, the video’s stunning, so ner.
