Punk Britannia looks cool. Here's the... um... opposite:

-judging by the first minute should be pretty funny.

I also very much enjoyed Soul Britannia:

And Metal Britannia looks pretty good, too:

The modern major label underground buzz plant project. Been going strong since Alanis Morrisette (remember her being played on bfm and those videos where you couldn't quite see her face?).

Still, good thing is you can alway just judge the music as it lies. I mean, Arctic monkeys were still decent after everyone found out they weren't really some organic indie success story, right?

I imagine Cobra Khan's Adversities is possibly a little on the chunky side for Russell's delicate, generally heavy-avoidant sensibilities. But it is a great album no less. Fierce and rich with texture.
