I has been a long while since I had listened to Blur
(though i was acquainted with them in their apotheotic period of the nineteen-ninety-seven-self-titled album i've grown with time to embrace their parklife-album-era)
. Delved into it
(just like many critics delve into music which they consider to be intellectually more stimulating eagerly reaching erudition whilst despising the wonders of pop culture which these days could be named as user generated content)
. It has been common knowledge that Oasis have been closer to The Beatles than any other British band, for their homage is as close as it could be without being plagiarism
(just the same way blur were referring to the kinks)
. It sounded to me that Blur were closer to The Beatles than Oasis. The social criticism, the questioning of habits, the entanglement in daily life, bridges both The Beatles and Blur
(especially on the beatles final phase. whereas whilst listening to oasis one cannot feel that only musically there is some reference and that that reference is not reinvention but imitation)
.
As it has been stated in many post-modern manifestos
(and in their own anti-manifestos for post-modernism shouldn't be that far from modernism just a prefix away for it's roots and theoretical framework remains the same)
, there are no original ideas, everything is referring to everything and everything is connected. What makes the creative area go
(for just as history it has been stated that painting is dead the author is dead plenty of concepts are dead an still they are being put to use everyday in modern art museums or contemporary art museums and bookshops and publishing houses and many other important market driving services)
is how you re-shuffle concepts and ideas that have already been had.
It is not by imitating ones chords or melodies that you chose your strong poet
(wink to harold bloom)
; but if you take one's ideas and adjust them to your own contingency, to your own zeitgeist, you'll be choosing your strong poet, affiliating with it and, if all goes well, surpass it. But that will be something that only history
(if it is not dead yet)
will validate – whatever history means.
