Since Britpop is pretty much dead, what have you been listening to lately ? For me, it's sissy music, all the way. The new video for Camera Obscura has been out for a while, but I thought maybe you might enjoy seeing it:I recently saw them in concert, see a picture of them:

So a while back, I made this video (drawing in real time to the lyrics). Of course, at the time, I didn't really think anyone would see this.But how wrong !Someone told me that before Thom played this song, he said, "You might've heard this song on youtube".So popular that the video's been stolen and put on other accounts. But know this: it is my bad art video !
In the mid-1990s, bands like Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Suede and Supergrass gave British music one of its most successful periods for decades.
But, with the benefit of a decade's hindsight, was it all just a dummy run for what could be Britpop's finest hour?
British groups seem to be taking the world by storm again. Franz Ferdinand came from nowhere to sell more than a million copies of their debut album in the US alone.
Kaiser Chiefs, borrowing a guitar-pop template that would have been at home in the heady days of 1994, have created enough...
Subsequent issues will reference Oasis' DEFINITELY MAYBE, Blur's MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH, Black Grape's IT'S GREAT WHEN YOU'RE STRAIGHT, YEAH!, Manic Street Preachers' THE HOLY BIBLE and Suede's self-titled debut.
