For me I feel musically I am more of UK citizen. I don't think they fall for the hype game as much as us Americans. I also think they are more prone to try new music then we are. Jay-Z is ok but he is hyped up too much.
uhhh.. hear of NME?? they hype a damn new band all the time.
lets see...
foals
kooks
wombats
arctic monkeys
teenagers
the enemy
maccabees
they hype all their brit-pop band. not that i terribly mind, i see them all when they come to nyc. but to downplay that they dont hype the bands is complete bollocks. if you havent noticed - why do you think many of the brits try and see these bands in the states. because you cant possibly see them in the UK without seeing them at a huge venue. at least here, for the most part, you can still see them at a tiny club.
im not even going to mention the likes of lily allen nor ms winehouse.
