Nothing I've heard so far has marked out these Auteurs as anything I should go out of my way to listen to, and to be honest I'm not that interested. I have far too much to get through as it is.

Thanks for the rec but I'll take it under advisement.
Well if you're just not interested in Britpop then it is what it is, but I've been interested in dipping my toes into that genre past Blur and Oasis for a little while, and the fact that Urban and Goofle, two people whose musical tastes I highly respect, are giving it so much praise, then that's enough to peak my curiosity all by itself.
