SAY CHEEZE!
This page is dedicated to Cheese. The height of popularity of this `product` was arguably mid 1960s to late 1970s, which saw tasteless gaudy clothing, porno facial hair and parping, daft, over-arranged tunes as the order of the day. "How come you`ve got a whole section on this stuff when you dare to poke fun at The Beatles and Happy Mondays on your site", I hear you cry. Well, the difference here is Irony! Some of the material here is so bad taste, we felt it ought to be celebrated with a certain humourous `so bad , it`s, erm, .....entertaining` feel. Some of this stuff`s really OTT, yet wasn`t generally perceived so at the time of creation. I`m sure that few people thought that one day, clubs would be blasting out hammond organ versions of the Rolling Stones and generic, background elevator-sounds designed for a quite different role, that of serious `relaxation`. and `Easy listening`. Twisting this part of culture to fit a new function unenvisaged by the creators is the Reverend`s aim here, so Rave On!
