As opposed to those 'true' modernists from 64 you mean?

Yes, I always find that the dancefloors that Black R'n'B offers are much
better than those shoddy Dutch ones those Psyche kids peddel us, they ruin
your leather soles. They'll do anything to ruin your loafers they will.

So let me get this right. 'Because YOU think it's simply better'..you
suppose..'that *does* make it more 'Mod'.... 'The reason however not being
historical', but a testament to your ability to call a snorkel mask Mod if
you say so?

A good a reason as any to get rid of the Modslist.

Yes it is!

As opposed to that Paul Secular bloke who wears those 30 year old
clothes...hold on..why...nah, can't be the same thing surely..
Are we going to get into that 'Mods would be wearing Tommy Hilfiger and
Ralph Lauren today' debate are we? 'Cos they wouldn't, cos that'd make them
sheep..
>However it's valid to moan about this lack of confidence!!!
Yeah, all you people who have a lack of confidence can just FUCK OFF! Go on,
crawl back into your little hole, cos you don't deserve to listen to this
music if you have no confidence. It's exclusively for people with confidence
is this scene.

Hip Cats and Kittens,
Are you too a Mod with a lack of confidence? Feel like you can't dance for
getting stared at? Do you have that 'Are my trousers to short' hangup?
People laughing at your hair in the streets? If so, for a fact pack, send a
