	Jamie Delano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jamie Delano (born 1954, Northampton) is a British comics writer.
		He was part of the first post-Alan Moore "Brit Wave" of writers.
		Delano's approach owes much to the quiet, cold but vicious work of British "new wave" writers like Ramsey Campbell and J.G. Ballard and it is this tone that subsequent writers have either had to adopt or go violently against.

	Britpop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After this, the first stirrings of recognition by the music press came in the form of what the NME had dubbed the New Wave of New Wave (or 'NWONW'), though this was initially applied to the more punk-derivative acts such as Elastica, SMASH and These Animal Men.
		Though the latter two band quickly disappeared from the limelight altogether, the music press was initially hesitant to recognise what it regarded as lesser acts; in the first instance Oasis, Shed Seven and Whiteout, and continued to champion the more brash and punky groups.
		The 1996 Brit Awards were a celebration of britpop, with many of the nominees acknowledged as "britpop bands".

	CityBeat: What is the Brit New Wave? (1999-04-08)
		There is, however, a rather old-fashioned spiritual thread connecting these Brit new wave films: Each story is told in the context of class and property (or lack thereof).
		The Brit new wave is whatever American audiences want it to be.
		The hype behind this "Brit New Wave" reflects the sad state of international film.

	BBC NEWS \| England \| Cornwall \| Test results move Wave Hub closer
		The SWRDA now has the results of a series of studies into the economic impact and feasibility of the wave project, which aims to be the world's first offshore facility to carry out tests on wave energy devices.
		The Wave Hub would act as an offshore electrical "socket" connected to the national grid by an underwater cable, and could be positioned off the Cornwall coast in two years time.
		The SWRDA has invested £500,000 in the project and says the feasibility studies point to the potential for the region to be the destination of choice for wave energy developers.

	Brit Wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brit Wave is an informal term to describe the influx in the late 1980s of British comics creators, especially writers, in American comics, most often in the employ of DC Comics, but in recent years Marvel Comics as well.
		This occurred in the wake of DC's success from Alan Moore's Swamp Thing and later Watchmen.
		After Moore had a falling-out with DC and swore to never work for them again, DC editor (later Vertigo Group Editor) Karen Berger recruited many promising writers and artists from the UK.

		The film in question was Evil Aliens, directed by Jake West, and it was just one among dozens of low-budget British horror pictures being screened or pitched to buyers at the Cannes festival.
		Brits, it emerged, are embracing horror with the same enthusiasm they showed toward gangster films a few years ago.
		The genre is riding a wave of popularity that it hasn't enjoyed in a long time.

	Plate to Plate - Brit Face
		We can see that the top part of the wave form soon gets "rounded" or "smashed", and as amplitude is increased, the bottom part is clipped.
		The effect is that the wave is half-wave rectified.
		The wave form at the collector of Q1 is very similar to what we had before, only "smashing" of the top needs more input to happen.

		The leader of the pack of new brit poppers, Coldplay have gone from almost quitting music after Parachutes dissapointed in sales, to being on top of the world and called things like "the next U2." DON'T make the mistake of thinking this is over-exposed rubbish.
		Oh I know, how utterly pointless to mention this band on here, but they continue to make a profound impact on fans and musicians alike, and are certianly a part of the new brit-pop.
		Possibly the staple of the new wave of brit-pop, slow building drums (a la Sigur Ros), terribly depressing and/or uplifting sentiments, and a piano that helps dry your tears.

		Indie rockers Kaiser Chiefs led a parade of new stars to glory at the Brit Awards when they won three top prizes at the British music industry's big night of the year.

		Think of the Kinks in "Lola," or Mick Jagger, sticking a very unconvincing "she said" into the orgiastic gender-crashing fuck-madness of "Let It Bleed." It's usually hard for straight bands to identify gay without getting self-conscious or even self-congratulatory, acting gayer than thou, but Franz Ferdinand breeze through "Michael" as if it's no sweat.
		There are all sorts of theories about why '80s-inspired new wave-ness and modness have come back with such a vengeance, but it's the first guitar-rock trend in years that has had anything to do with sex.
		New wave's eternal appeal has to do with its playful, humane pansexuality.

		Neither of the new films evinces much belief in human endeavor beyond the filmic conventions of struggle-and-triumph that now have nothing to do with political awareness but are, more likely, a rehash of tv commercial and art house cliches.
		A Room for Romeo Brass is the most unsettling of the recent Brit teen flicks because it doesn’t bother with conventional, self-satisfied accounts of working-class life.
		Director Shane Meadows follows the friendship of two young neighbors (one biracial kid, the other with scoliosis) in a semi-improvisational style seeking to be surprised by what desires and idiosyncrasies the actors unleashed.

		Titles like the demi-hit singles "Summer Fun," "California Lament," "On the Strip," and "Surfers Are Back" are self-explanatory, while the deliciously campy "His Last Summer," detailing one dude's final big wave with Brit-accented asides, has got to win an award for being one of rock's best fake-tragedy stories.
		However, the Barracudas [+] were more accurately a sharp balance between the harder-edge of new wave power pop and a freewheeling, mid-1960s L.A. revivalism.
		Rather than peeling off Dick Dale or Ventures-style riffs, or even trying much for the Beach Boys [+]' early sound, the foursome combined some surf-tinged work with the Byrds' ringing exuberance, Love [+]'s more frazzled early garage stomps, and the kind of punk collected on Nuggets.

		And they had the interpreters they needed in a tidal wave of powerful, enduring performers like Tom Courtenay, Albert Finney, Rita Tushingham, Julie Christie, David Warner, Alan Bates, Richard Harris, the Redgraves (Lynn and Vanessa), et al.
		As the 60s progressed, social realism gave way to more escapist fare, Britain's angry young men evolving into the fashionably disillusioned hedonists of Swinging London.
		(1959, Tony Richardson) Embittered jazzman Richard Burton, waging a one-man war against the hypocrisy of Brit society, reaches the boiling point when his wife's old pal - slightly snooty actress Claire Bloom - comes for a two-week stay.

		Used CD shops rock - some of the best new wave tunes are by one hit wonders, and because they're so reasonably priced, you don't mind buying a CD just for one good song.
		People really came to the rescue, really gave up and put out the new wave I was looking for, and this didn't devolve into a "top ten" list or anything, I got exposed to some brilliant (see Guiness commercial) bands I knew nothing about.

	woxy.com > Boards - What is Brit-Pop?
		I think of it as a wave of Brit bands which resulted from three bands : The Smiths, The Cure, and The Stone Roses.
		I just believe it was a term which was slapped upon any new Brit band that was coming along in the early 90s in order to form a bonding feel as a sort of response to the American Grunge wave.
		The New New Wave scene that has been inspired by Television is (thankfully) on the wane.

		And yes, Elefant has the hooks of The Strokes and some of the gloomy epicness of Interpol, but they really have more in common with bands like The Cure or Swervedriver.
		This is more brit-pop than retro brit-new wave.
		While they won't shatter the world with a revolutionary, new sound, Elefant will at least make you hum a bit.

		Contrary to what Clash fans will tell you, as far as first wave Brit punks go, the Fall are The Only Band That Matters (these days at least).
		After 25 years of sustained existence and some 40-odd members in and out of a perpetually revolving door, only singer/lyricist/agent provocateur Mark E Smith has remained a constant.
		Part prankster, part Serge Gainsbourg-ian reptile, he’s the louche gone wild, the embodiment of scrappy bad Brit juju and spotty dental work.

		Whilst I am not convinced about the value of CGI films I am aware that it can be put to good use for special effects.

		Spearheading a new wave of Brit-pop, along with Travis and Starsailor, Coldplay (which makes its Las Vegas debut in a sold-out show Saturday at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel) is heavy on ambient guitars and plaintive vocals.
		Both were used effectively on the band's breakout single "Yellow," a simple love note set to music, of "Parachutes."

		At once intimate and vast, it marks a turning point for the British quartet, whose Grammy Award-winning debut album, 2000's "Parachutes," and its hit single, "Yellow," established it as second-wave Brit- pop's first breakthrough group.
		To launch the new CD, Coldplay has embarked on a small-club tour (the band returns to the Bay Area for a larger show at the Greek Theatre on Sept. 6), with tickets available online for its most hard-core fans.
