a) Britpop -- really? I'm not sure about this. Lightning Seeds would be an interesting test case I guess; Oasis as ver Slade; Blur bits of glam also?; dunno guv. b) Love love love the comet analogy. c) Yes suburbs a better word than ghettoes. c) Badly chosen examples on my part, and probably not thought through -- the carbon copyists won't return since 'pure' repetition is impossible, but repetition with difference very familiar. i.e. MJ reissuing his singles = flop, but oldie which has been featured in an tv ad and has therefore been transformed = success. d) lol @ leninism.
