isabelle and her lambretta. what more could a boy ask for.
i was suprised that we could find enough room to do a
shoot in her scooter shed, but it ended up being one of
our favorite series to date.
where we were: izzy's little bootleg work shed
what we heard: moods for moderns, purplehearts, dexy's midnight runners
fact:the shed is full of spiders. we are scared of spiders.
therfore, we are scared of the shed
fact2: "i've been searching for the young soul rebels. i can't find
them anywhere. maybe we should welcome the young soul vision"

this shoot was a lot of fun, except it was about 40 degrees out.
many years ago i was born. then i grew up. as my friends know, i neverreally had a place to belong. during high school i discovered hardcore andpunk rock. the music was fun. (this story takes a bit....) then i met thisskinhead named jamie. we went to shows, and had a grand time. he taughtme about skins, and their origins. i learned alot. by my junior year, iwas considered a "skinhead." this went on for some time, as imoved away from hardcore and into ska and oi. then came the rise into thepeople who are a cut above. with my growing fondness for brit pop, i startedlistening to the Who, Small Faces, the Jam, booker T & the MGs, andother more "mod" musics. the culture was always inside me, butwithin the past two years, it has come more to the surface. now, i considermyself a mod. yes i have a parka. i like the way it looks, and it's warm.having always been a sharp dresser, the transition was gradual, and easy.to me mod is that forward looking mentality embodied in everything the modsdo. i'm always looking to coorespond with people

From the post-punk, massed Mod revival of the 1970s, there emerged an almost organic cultural collective - Scooter Boys. With an underlying musical focus on Northern Soul and R&B, these scooter boys developed a passion for steamy all nighters, fuelled by a fast, absorbing and intrinsically nomadic lifestyle.
They gathered in their thousands at an array of coastal resorts all over the British Isles (and beyond) for all weekend parties, making their own rules and their own enemies. The cultural icon at the epicentre of this phenomenon were the Italian motor-scooters which mobilised this unique way of life.
In the 1990s, yet another string was added to the bow of scooter culture, courtesy of artists such as Oasis, Ocean Colour Scene and Cast. These bands, along with the already ‘scooter-credible’ Paul Weller, helped fuel a new generation of scooter-loving individuals.
Gareth Brown’s youth culture classic Scooter Boys is now reprinted proudly on Independent Music Press. Brown is widely regarded as the leading world authority on scooter culture. His writings on scooter culture have been published in magazines throughout the world and a signed scooter he once owned sold for £10,000 in Japan.


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
lasting out edgy pop anthems with Teutonic flair and twisted outlook. This is Ladytron – a quartet composed of Helen Marnie, Daniel Hunt, Reuben Wu, and Mira Aroyo. They've taken the UK by storm, toured extensively throughout Europe, and are now prepared to bring their sound stateside with Light & Magic, their newest release on Emperor Norton Records. Forming by chance through meetings in bars and parks, they set out in an unusual way, ignoring London to play their debut show in a Paris bowling alley, and releasing their debut single, "He Took Her to a Movie," in mid-1999. Strange European dates followed in temporary spaces in east Berlin and to frenzied electrokids in Barcelona, slowly building a reputation as one of the most interesting new acts around, for lovers of the sounds and the songs alike. This skewed approach to crafting pop music has rewarded the group with overwhelming critical acclaim. Ladytron's UK debut single, "He Took Her To A Movie," was recorded for literally nothing. It was quickly picked up by British national radio, MTV2, and championed by the NME and other English magazines like Select, Melody Maker, and Sleaze Nation calling Ladytron "the most exciting new English band in years, by a long way."
Their summer 2000 "Playgirl" single went even further, pre-empting the nascent electro movement, and drawing acclaim from the likes of Felix Da Housecat, who says Ladytron were a major influence on his hugely popular Kittenz and Thee Glitz album. As diverse as their nationalities and backgrounds may be – Mira (Sofia), Helen (Glasgow), Daniel and Reuben (Liverpool via Hong Kong) – the musical influences of Ladytron are possibly even more so. A listen to the tracks "Playgirl" from 2001’s critically lauded debut full-length, 604 and "Commodore Rock," from the summer of 2000’s EP of the same name, calls to
