While we’re on the 1980’s here is a great Pet Shop Boys song done with Patsy Kensit (forget the 8th Wonder title).

Coldplay and Stuff White People Like

From Vanity Fair.

It is important to be aware that an affinity for Coldplay can cause an immediate loss of respect among “advanced” level white people. The best way to earn the trust of these people is to say “Coldplay is this generation’s U2.” (Note: this is an insult.) Advanced level white people are often the poorest white people in terms of money but the richest in terms of credibility and respect.

More appropriately, in my opinion Coldplay are this generation’s Dire Straits.

I’m a huge Jimmy Webb fan and was delighted to find this great post by The World Of Kane with a nice bio and links to interviews, mp3s and his website.
