|
|
JB: I've had a long, hard, proper think about this, and while I was initially going to plump for their Resident Advisor mix—which sees the lads at their most wonderfully bacchanalian—I've decided that it's their NTS show from late October that's the one for me.

|
|

|
|
"Chin Up England" will undoubtedly be popular with lads who go to Clapton FC and consider the suggestion that they might wear an England shirt from before 1991 (the year they were literally born) to be a deeply personal affront, but I'm not sure about its appeal beyond that.
|
|

|
|

|
|
Directed by Dan Colley, "Bears in Space" is performed by four puppet-wielding, stricken-looking lads in their mid-20s: Aaron Heffernan, Cameron Macaulay, Eoghan Quinn (also the play's writer) and Jack Gleeson, whom "Game of Thrones" cultists will recognize as the portrayer of the precociously nasty King Joffrey.

|
|

|
|

|
|
In amongst all that seductive talent, there'll still be Dele Alli, John Stones and Eric Dier – good, honest, English lads who'd look right at home wearing ill-fitting, buttoned-down polo tops at an extremely awkward sixth-form disco, as opposed to full-body catsuits at a sultry flamenco dancehall.
|
|

|
|

|
|
I could have bought a £20 ($26) ticket at the gym and cheered from the stands with the beered-up lads but elected instead to watch it on Rupert Murdoch's Sky TV at a mate's house down the road (a Richie Rich kid with a pricey satellite/cable TV package).
|
|
Now that important socio-cultural message has been established, we can rapidly cut to a montage of all the celeb mums doing typical mum things—yoga, hedge trimming (because it's 2016 and women can handle a pair of garden shears by themselves now, thanks lads), and breastfeeding IN A PUBLIC PLACE NO LESS.
|
|

FACT: Every Englishman alive has played in a football game on some drizzly five-a-side pitches against six big lads who walk up smoking and eating chips at the same time, distended jogging bottoms barely covering their arses, huge men, gargantuan, who then proceed to absolutely play you off the park.

Wenger is a suave, sophisticated economics graduate who gets invited to debonair fashion shoots and high-society soirées, while Dyche looks like he probably has a best mate called 'Baz' and that his idea of the perfect night is going to get a chicken jalfrezi with the lads before necking seven pints of Ruddles Best.
|
|
Electro, by and large, is for leather-clad lads with straggly long hair who stick to the walls of goth clubs in seaside towns and call themselves Lord DarkPsyche on Facebook and have the air of damp about them, so it's no wonder that it took a bona fide star like Robbie to conjure up some much needed magic.
|
|
Put it this way, if a group of lads from South London with a bit of money come in, I'm gonna play Wiley or Giggs or Skepta – something they can relate to, but at the same time one of their tunes that's a bit sexy , so I can get away with playing it in a strip club.
|
|

|
|
With their sharp and serious features, they look like a couple of lads who'd be just at home in the pages of GQ as they would behind the booth fretting about an EQ. There's a cleanness to them, a sellability, and that might be one of the reasons why the sesh-heads have grabbed on to them.
|
|

|
|
Elsewhere, Dutch midfielder Marten de Roon cost £12m from Italian side Atalanta (an aside: £12m is now the cost of an uncapped player; we've crossed the rubicon, lads) and there was existing quality at the Riverside: Adam Clayton, Daniel Ayala and Gaston Ramirez all shone on the way to second spot in the Championship last term.
|
|
Obviously, very little of this is unexpected—my overwhelming tone here has been one of resignation and boredom, I know (though, granted, I am pleased to see THE FUCKING LADS Robbie Williams and Noel and Liam Gallagher getting their dues for being ABSOLUTE LEGENDS and catching the flush-with-cash industry right before the internet disrupted things).
|
|
Ever since Andrew Weatherall and Bobby Gillespie necked a sack's worth of pingers way back when and recorded Screamadelica between bouts of telling anyone who'd listen how "fucking lovely" the Radio Times is, guitar toting lads have always looked for the approval of blokes who spend their nights in dank basements getting excited about hi-hat patterns.

|
|
It's a few hours later into the night now and somehow those lads we met above have ended up in a dank little techno basement, pilled off their nuts, and now they're hoarsely trying to sing along to "The Bells" and you begin to wish that Jeff Mills had stayed on whatever odd little planet he beamed himself down from.
|
|
We get that fashion is all about pushing boundaries and experimenting with perceived notions of social acceptability and pursuing the noble ideals of aesthetics over function, but fuck me, lads, honestly, dressing like a character from Dragon Ball Z who got into DJ Deeon last year isn't as nice as putting on a comfortable pair of chinos, a sensible shirt, and cableknit jumper.
|
|
The video ends with the crowd chanting "OH JEREMY CORBYN" to the tune of the riff from "Seven Nation Army" as English people are wont to do when we're enthusiastic about something, and I'm fairly sure that nothing has made me feel more patriotic than this since the time those lads called themselves sesh gremlins and did a shit message in a bottle.
|
|
In 2018 that was still true (lads in crap vintage football shirts as far as the eye could see, certainly, but you would never catch anyone walking round Parc del Fòrum shouting 'STEVE') though this year more than ever, it felt as though the UK was making its horrible, funny mark on Europe's best music festival while it still could.
|
|
Given that everyone now films absolutely everything and that you could, if you so wished, I imagine, tune into at least sixty seven Periscope streams of lads doing really long pisses, it isn't surprising that the internet's favourite visual dumping ground is home to thousands upon thousands of narrative free snapshots of blokes putzing around with big keyboards in their bedrooms.
|
|
On a wider level, it's a reminder of the fact that British music can and should always be broader and more exciting than four lads droning on from behind guitars—and since Skepta's recognition in 2016, it seems that the Prize, one of the UK's biggest musical institutions, has finally got used to the importance and influence of UK rap in all its forms.
|
|
This is because he likes to fucking av it and he is on Eastenders, and those are two of the necessary criteria for national treasure-hood here in the big UK. With career highlights as varied as working with Harold Pinter and doing a BBC Three documentary about believing in UFOs, Danny is beloved by the entire social spectrum, uniting mums and lads alike.
|
|
This weekend, though, you'll be there with the squad—four lads you've stuck with after university because the the thought of any time alone, genuinely alone, terrifies you to your mediocre, useless core, not because you actually really enjoy their company any more—and you'll have semi-danced your way through a few DJs and your head will start to fill with possibile headliners.
