Holy smokes, swankers is officially 10 years old!Well, at least it was last August. I'm pretty disappointed I missed it.So really, if you're listening... I'd like to thank you for joining, contributing, making us laugh, making is pull our hair out, falling in love, and whatever else Livejournal has done for us over the years. At one time, this community was a formidable place for lovers of Britpop to meet, greet, and gab. Especially us in North America who gaze upon swinging London pressed up against a computer screen... I have met amazing people through this community, and I hope I'm not the only one.I've realised that LJ isn't the medium it once was. My britpop love has leaked onto other social networks like Last.fm, Twitter, and Tumblr, but none of this means as much to me as Swankers. And none of it ever will.Thanks guys.

Well, since we've abandoned the "hot or not" tradition here at Swankers, I thought I would point you towards the NME's similar polls. It's a good way to kill an hour.Sexiest Male 2009Sexiest Female 2009I am yet to submit 3/4 members of Late of the Pier. And I don't know who the hell is doing the voting so far (you silly English people?) but Julian is not actually the hottest Stroke. Hmph.
