This week John and Sarah get a little long winded, and document the final throws of the Britpop movement. We look at the shambolic Brit Awards of 1996, the gigs at Knebworth Park where Oasis took their crown as Kings of Britpop, and the steep slope that followed for all the major acts. Also, we talk about who was possibly the biggest British band in the USA—believe us it’s not who you think—and have a scientific debate on if the Spice Girls were a Britpop act. We also have an update on the Movember fundraiser, and take a look back at one of the more controversial statements of the Britpop era.
This week’s teaser blog.
