Britpop Compilation

oliverthecosmonaut:

I’ve been asked to put together a mix that captures the britpop era of the mid 90’s. I spent most of my teenage years in England and have fond memories of my time there.Some of these Bands I stopped listening to a while ago, but hearing them again has been a lot of fun.

Not all these tracks are stricktly britpop ,some are from newer bands influenced from that time that still capture the sound

  1. Supergrass- Alright
  2. Blur-Countryhouse
  3. Pulp-Common People
  4. Oasis-Masterplan
  5. The Coral- Dreaming of you
  6. The Duckworth Lewis Method-The Age of Revolution
  7. The Duckworth Lewis Method - Mr.Mijandad
  8. coldplay-dont panic
  9. cardigans
  10. travis
  11. the music
  12. chemical brothers
  13. fatboy slim-
  14. Kula Shaker- Govinda
  15. Stereophonics - Hurry & Wait
  16. Blur- There’s no other way
  17. The lightning Seeds-Lucky You
  18. The Verve-Lucky Man
  19. Oasis-Columbia
  20. Pulp-Misshapes
  21. Oasis undeneath the sky
  22. Oasis-Married with Children
  23. Oasis-Whatever
  24. Oasis- All around the world

evilwhoreofsatan: i found this article on popmatters about parklife in honour of its 15th anniversary. the writer of the article doesn’t exactly like the band except for this album and think they’re overrated, boring (!) bla bla bla but i like this paragraph: Maybe that’s why Parklife is such a definitive work in the Britpop canon, and why it is so singularly representative of Blur as a band. It has the slightly removed, antiseptic quality of the wry observer who is too smart for his own good. The commentaries on English life at the “end of a century” are so razor-sharp, so spot-on—but Damon Albarn and his cohorts were not ones to get any dirt on their hands, like some of their contemporaries so readily did. There is a reason that Blur were such perfect pretty-boy prep school foils to Oasis’s hardscrabble bullies. Parklife is as close as the band ever came to crossing that line, the line between sterile observers and messy participants, between “Southern Fairies” and “Northern Monkeys”. And that’s what makes it the greatest record they ever made.

This is the next century
Where the universal’s free
You can find it anywhere
Yes, the future has been sold
Every night we’re gone
And to karaoke songs
How we like to sing a long
Although the words are wrong

It really, really, really could happen

The Universal: Blur
