Favoriting August 27, 2023: Brit Pop Anthems of the 90s with Ed & Special Guest Gerald Power
This week Atlantic Tunnel travels back to the 90s for two hours of Brit Pop music. Media-driven and some might say overhyped, we think it’s bloody great music! Join host Ed and his special guest, Brit music connoisseur all the way from Prague, Gerald Power, for an in-depth look at the music that drove that era. They will present two hours of pop anthems from the likes of Oasis, Blur, Ocean Colour Scene, Pulp, The Divine Comedy, Suede and more. Let the music speak for itself!

Well, others would disagree, but I do think so. I think because (a) people were not afraid to be open about their influences, and (b) there were just so many bands that were competing for hits, top-billing at festivals and so on - pushed everyone’s standards higher.

I saw them doing this supporting Oasis at an local Ice Rink. Oasis had cancelled this date when the Gallaghers had a falling out. They then released Wonderwall and became the biggest band in Britain. Even though they could now sell out stadiums they honoured the cancelled date. OCS would have a massive hit with this not long after.

I was at Vinyl Junkies Records in San Diego about 5 weeks back and on the back patio they said boxes of cut rate CDs (it's really a vinyl store) with tons of Brit Pop CDs - all the stuff I used to have on tape. Loved finding and listening to Giant Steps again - what a GREAT record!!!

Sice , the singer of the Boo Radleys, is doing one man show around the UK I've seen clips. It looks great He reads angry letters to the music magazines with people complaining how unattractive the band was. He's seem very self deprecating and funny.

Cast does the theme song of Peep Show, a lot people discovered the show from Netflix, so they might love Cast without realizing it.

How long did Britpop last? I went from wearing an Oasis t-shirt feeling like I was part of an exclusive gang to being a bit embarrassed to say that I liked them in about ... two years?

It’s an interesting comment from Ed. They were adored in the UK and Ireland. Noel Gallagher compared Cast gigs to a religious experience.

Ed’s right: what a bloody awful label. But I still say it was a great era with great music. Music that brought people together. Me and my friend would listen with our parents, moving from Oasis and Supergrass to the Stones and Kinks. Uniquely cross-generational music.
