You are 85% English.

Congratulations! You may now take your place as a subject of Her Majesty.

"And did those feet
In ancient times,
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
In England's pleasant pastures seen?"

Well, no, but it's a cracking good tune.

I'm always interested in broadening my musical horizons, and I'm conscious that I tend to miss a lot most of what's happening in popular and alternative music because I steadfastly refuse to put up with the 'let's advertise at you for 40 minutes out of every hour' behavior of commerical radio.

LJ, however, is filled with young hipsters who can educate old fogies like me. :-) Someone in one of the Scottish communities mentioned the Glasgow group Belle & Sebastian, so I picked up one of their CDs (The Life Pursuit), and I'm enjoying it a great deal (despite firstfoot.com assuring me they're awful). It reminds me a lot of the some of the early (pre-punk) British Invasion groups I grew up listening to.

Any of my readers have suggestions of other, similar artists (not necessarily British) that I might want to try?
