b'I picked the record this week, and it\\u2019s \\u201cThe Kinks are The Village Green Preservation Society\\u201d by\\u2026wait for it\\u2026The Kinks (wouldn\\u2019t it have been wonderful if I dropped in C and C Music Factory right there?). I love the British Invasion, I think the Beatles were the most confounding and amazing band ever, most of my all time favorite bands and records hail from The British Isles\\u2026but somehow the Kinks had mostly fallen off of my radar. And that\\u2019s not for lack of people nudging me toward them (looking at you Darin Murphy). Long story short, I finally understood all of the comparisons to Blur- Parklife I\\u2019ve heard over the years.'
