[danny la rouge]

I'm not talking about the socio-economic class of the musicians, but the milieu of the music. Think: "what can I imagine being played while a bank manager and friends eat fondue around the coffee table?"

It was Brother In Arms for a long time wasn't it? Then Sade or Dido or Morcheeba or Portishead. Fucking Travis or Keane. Or fucking Cuntford & Sons.
