Ozpop Mug
Ozpop refers to the underappreciated indie pop-rock scene in Australia that flourised from the post-punk late 1970s till the onslaught of grunge in the early 1990s. Though encompassing a large degree of diversity, there's a certain subtle commonality to many Ozpop bands. A sense of doomed romanticism, an understated machismo and an openness to the influence of folk, punk, pub rock and even electronic can be heard in many bands of the era. Ozpop band's isolation, both geographically and in the music media, is seen to have encouraged a timelessness grounded in real life rather than the MTV-fuelled fantasies and fads that prevailed in England and America at the same period such as hair metal and new romanticism. Australian groups such as The Apartments, The Birthday Party, The Church, Crime + the City Solution, Died Pretty, The Go-Betweens, Hoodoo Gurus, Hunters & Collectors, INXS, Killer Sheep, Laughing Clowns, The Lime Spiders, Midnight Oil, Paul Kelly, Plug Uglies, Primitive Calculators, Sacred Cowboys, The Saints, The Scientists, The Stems, These Immortal Souls, The Triffids and Young Charlatans can all be viewed (with an appropriate resistance to pigeonholing) as fine Ozpop bands. Ozpop occurred against the backdrop of the larger Australian cultural movement known as "Cool Australis," wherein figures like Crocodile Dundee, Mad Max, Yahoo Serious rose to prominence, in part fueled by a strange, superficial and ultimately short-lived American fascination with some of the more stereotypical aspects of Australia. Although a few bands were able to expand their popularity to other parts of the world, most remain criminally underrated and totally under-heard. Whereas Scottish neo-pop, Kiwi Rock (and the Dunedin sound) received a fair amount of press (and rightfully so), Ozpop remains obscure and has never been the subject of serious study.

I ordered 4 of your mugs -- and have received 3; hopefully, the 4th is on its way! So far, I've received "fame," "620," and "$" ... only needing "hulo." ...It might be a matter of me being patient, that the 4th mug is on its way. However, the 3 received SO far are all EXCEPTIONAL, in every way!!! Mark Moilanen

wow! this mug is so thoughtful to giving to my wife!
The description tells nothing but facts. 5 stars instant
Your description is right on, except in 1989 I named my daughter Kallen Mikel (www.kallenmikel.com/original-art). I thought I made up the name, but apparently, it originated as a boy's name in Greek and Hebrew. I first found this out in 2001 when I was traveling to Finland. In the 'tube food' section in a big Finnish supermarket there it was, a royal blue tube of salmon paste with a blonde-haired boy named Kallen! So now I have discovered that there are many Kallen's of both sexes. I want to buy her a cup, but it has 'him' on it. Is there any way you can make that a unisex description for both sexes? Just askin'. Being a Barbara (Barbs) myself ... a 'cake eater' from Edina, MN I had to ask ... haha ;-)
Thank you for the mug. It arrived fast and exceeded my expectations.
