	Is modern life rubbish? - Giddens on Modernity - Liam Dennis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Modernity, as employed by Giddens, serves merely as a contrast to the traditional structure of society and its characteristics of collectivity and kinship.
		Modernity, it is stated, elicits a corresponding resignation of power and control of individualism over to external agencies - resultant from the "sheer scale of societies" (Cassell, 1993, pg 204) and untenable or unfathomable diversity of external influences.
		With modernity, the dichotomy between the two poles is accentuated, and illustrated by the "standardising effects of commodity capitalism" (pg 196).

	BBC NEWS \| UK \| Seniors: 'Modern life is rubbish'
		The 3,000 seniors found modern society crime-ridden, sleazy, promiscuous, foul-mouthed, noisy and second-rate.
		And they missed the slower pace of life, job security, and the way families had lived closer together and society valued housewives.
		"Modern communication means people speak on mobiles, not on the street corner or at the bus stop.

	Modern Life Is Rubbish by Blur CD
		MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH is one of those records that improves with each listen, with the quiet brilliance of story-songs like "Colin Zeal," "Chemical World," and "Pop Scene" (a smart addition to the US release).
		Modern Life is Rubbish showed the determination of a group of so-called underdogs desperate to succeed.
		Modern life may be a bit ropey but stick this on and you'll soon forget your worries.

		Nude as the News: Blur: Modern Life Is Rubbish
		This is the modern sound of Britpop: Four lads in London break out of a record company-created stereotype (their name was given to them by A&R men) and surprise the masses with a mature and complex second album.
		With Modern Life Is Rubbish, Blur has dropped the shoegazer mentality of Leisure in favor of a neo-mod attitude, crafting precise pop songs more intent on sounding dynamic and intricate than just good.

	spiked-life \| Column \| Modern life? It's the best yet
		Modern farms are 'like Auschwitz', modern food is 'toxic', modern medicine is 'unsafe', etc. In fact, attach it to pretty much anything you (don't) like, from scientific research to supermarkets, and the prefix 'modern' has become a boo-word, to be pronounced with a sneer.
		It is bizarre to imagine that the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease is somehow an argument against modern life.
		It is thanks to modern farming techniques that the UK has not experienced such an outbreak since 1967, while the disease has remained rife throughout the developing world (1).

	Amazon.co.uk: Music: Modern Life Is Rubbish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Modern Life Is Rubbish deserves to be heard, not only to show how much Blur changed over the years, but because it still stands up and holds its own against anything they came up with later in their career.
		However, any blur fan that knows his salt would have realised that MLIR is almost totally ignored.
		In a sentence, Modern Life Is Rubbish showcases blur flexing their muscles, stepping away from the mainstream of Leisure and embracing their roots and influences.

	Blur Album Reviews
		Granted, Modern Life Is Rubbish could probably use some of The Kinks’ (their obvious musical role models, albeit updated with a more modern new wave and/or psychedelic sheen) simplicity, but the band’s chaotic and seemingly disjointed chords always seem to coalesce into oddly catchy pop songs.
		Albarn’s Cockney accent may also take some getting used to, but Modern Life Is Rubbish was nevertheless an awfully impressive album overall, though it's yet another in an endless parade of '90s albums where less certainly would've been more.
		Blur is one of the most interesting bands of the past ten years (British or American), and since their entertaining but inconsistent albums have always been highlighted by their singles, it would stand to reason that The Best Of Blur would indeed be just that.

	Blur: Modern Life Is Rubbish -- Ink Blot Magazine
		It was to be the last of Blur's trilogy of English Life albums, and 1997's "Song 2" made them a surprise favorite in America's football stadia.
		Whatever they want to do, they can do it all within a brilliant, catchy three-minute song, and Modern Life is Rubbish is packed with 'em.
		Modern Life is Rubbish is where Blur begin taking shots at English life, and of course they do it well.

		Often seen as a 'transition album' between the juvenalia of Leisure and the fully fledged masterpiece that is Parklife, Modern Life is Rubbish deserves to be heard on its own as an excellent record, but is also fascinating when viewed in the context of Blur's musical development.
		Modern Life is Rubbish is truly the album where Blur and Damon Albarn found their poetic and musical voice.
		That is to say, the sort of tired, sad, resigned lo-fi ballads to which they would return on all their subsequent albums...

	Blur : Modern Life Is Rubbish - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		As a response to the dominance of grunge in the U.K. and their own decreasing profile in their homeland -- and also as a response to Suede's sudden popularity -- Blur reinvented themselves with their second album, Modern Life Is Rubbish, abandoning the shoegazing and baggy influences that dominated Leisure for traditional pop.
		On the surface, Modern Life may appear to be an homage to the Kinks, David Bowie, the Beatles, and Syd Barrett, yet it isn't a restatement, it's a revitalization.
		However, the record teems with life, since Blur refuse to treat their classicist songs as museum pieces.

		At the time he claimed modern life is rubbish; his critics claimed that he was reactionary and even quasi-racist.
		Ambitious and yet still full of hooks, it is arguably their most appealing record—particularly as it retains its underdog status in comparison to the ubiquity of Parklife, the snotty triumphalism of The Great Escape and the self-consciousness of Blur.
		Like Modern Life Is Rubbish, the band’s follow-up—Parklife—retains the very British qualities of farce and self-doubt, but covered their art-pop leanings with an increased emphasis on melody.

	CO.UK - BLUR lyrics
		XTC's Andy Partridge was originally enlisted to produce Modern Life Is Rubbish, but the relationship between Blur and Partridge quickly soured, so Street was again brought in to produce the band.
		The band refused and the record was released in May in Britain; it appeared in the United States that fall.
		Modern Life Is Rubbish received good reviews in Britain, peaking at number 15 on the charts, yet it failed to make much of an impression in the U.S. Modern Life Is Rubbish turned out to be a dry run for Blur's breakthrough album, Parklife.

		With 10 years of listening to six masterpieces, I decide that Modern Life is Rubbish is both the least well known Blur album and also one of the best.
		This is as far away from the new material as you can get and to be honest, it's a nice break from what you imagine from Blur nowadays (which I also really like).
		'Modern Life is Rubbish' is hardly as well known as 'Parklife' for example but it includes the beginnings of what made 'Parklife' so very popular.

	Review of Blur's "Modern Life is Rubbish" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Modern Life is Rubbish (1993), Blur’s second album, is an album of two halves.
		To put it simply, the first section of Modern Life is Rubbish (whose title incidentally was taken from a piece of grafitti in London) is good, while the closing half is of a poorer standard.
		Side A illustrates that this is a band that can write catchy, quirky pop songs, while side B demonstrates that they are just as capable of penning ordinary, tedious tunes.

	Modern Life Is Rubbish
		Then I realise that it doesn't always have to be like this, that I take charge of my life and do something about it.
		So that I can sleep in peace with the knowledge that I gave it all I could, and not lie awake in bed at night thinking about all that could have been.
		I want to look back at my life and be able to say "I have nothing to regret".

		Modern life in the UK is a mix of unhappy jobs, isolation and material wants, according to a survey published today.
		Spending time in the developing world helps people to rediscover the difference between consumer wants and true needs, such as for food and shelter, but also for community membership and the need to help others and cooperate with them.
		There is a general feeling of dissatisfaction amongst people who want more from life than the daily grind.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Blur
		Britpop, the term, hadn't yet been coined come the time of the release of 'Modern Life Is Rubbish'.
		Subsequent events has lent 'Modern Life In Rubbish' a pioneering air, it very nearly invented the Britpop scene.
		It's not so much that the second side of 'Modern Life Is Rubbish' doesn't match the first, so much as 'Modern Life Is Rubbish' being a little too long for its own good.

		Definitely worth getting to satisfy the part of your soul which really hates modern conformity but likes the comforts all the same.
		Usually they tell me to listen to 13 or the self-titled, and there's no denying those albums' greatness, but Modern Life is Rubbish will always endear itself to me. There's always new little bits I discover with each listen.
		Modern Life Is Rubbish makes for a fine introduction to Blur, and I'm glad I listened to it first.

		If you are unaware of its existence, Battlefield is EA's rather popular (especially online) war-based FPS series, with PC titles set in World War II and Vietnam thus far.
		As the title suggests, it marks a change to the historical approach of the series up to now, in that it is set in the modern world, or an alternative version thereof.
		There will be over 30 vehicles on offer such as tanks, helicopters and fast attack vehicles, more than 70 weapons including heat-seeking missiles and laser designated bombs, and three forces to fight for - the United States, the Chinese and the Middle East Coalition.

		David Edgar has done it all his life and is now writing two state-of-America plays in Oregon.
		But then critics have set ideas on how certain roles should be played: witness the current attacks on Chiwetel Ejiofor in The Vortex for daring to play Nicky Lancaster as a confused hetero rather than a closet gay.

		From the tuxedoed ballad "The Universal" through the cartoon Brit-pop of numbers such as "Parklife" and "Country House" to the freshly recorded indie-influenced "Music Is My Radar," their searching intelligence and deft hooks are never less than admirable.
