Lily Allen - Don’t Get Me Wrong Pretenders Cover | To Celebrate Radio 1 40th Birthday

I’m kind of in love with Lily Allen. Not as much as Kate Nash, but still quite a lot, in a non-stalky threatening way. I think it may be her third nipple, or maybe just the fact that she’s a kick ass British singer with a great voice and attitude to boot.
She recently covered ‘Don’t […]

First there were Britpop legends The Verve, then came Led Zeppelin, and […]

Phil Collins Beaten By Gorilla… At Drumming! | New Cadburys Advert Reveals All

You’ve probably already seen this advert for Cadburys Dairy Milk chocolate, either on television in the UK, or via the multitude of emails flying around with it attached.
It shows a giant gorilla sitting at a drum kit listening intently to the start of Phil Collins hit ‘In The Air Tonight’. And then when the […]

Free Downloads Of Blur Demos For ‘Parklife’ Album | Relive Some Classic Britpop Tunes

Blur were one of my favourite Britpop bands of the early 1990s, and my fandom carried on from there until they split up. I was one of the many people who had one leg in both camps during the great Oasis Vs Blur days of old, liking both bands equally, but for different reasons.
With talk […]

Rihanna & New Order Mashup Video | ‘Shut Up & Drive’ Vs ‘Blue Monday’

I have a great mash up for you today, with New Order superbly mixed with Rihanna. I’m not a big fan of Rihanna, in fact it’s fair to say I hate her.
‘Umbrella’ was a good song, and I liked it the first 20 times I heard it, but after 10 weeks at the top […]

Ed Victor is auctioning the English language […]

The Beatles Vs The Monkees | Paperback Believer Mashup

This blog is all about the British Music Scene right? Yes, but that doesn’t mean I sit in a room all day just listening to British bands and singers, in fact I love a lot of American music as well as other countries musical output. So I thought I’d share a video which proves that […]

Kajagoogoo - Rocket Boy | New Song & Video

You all remember Kajagoogoo right? What do you mean no? Well for those who weren’t around in the 80s or just stayed away from cheesy pop, they were a group lead by Limahl, he of the big stupid looking multi-coloured hair. This picture of them should jog your memory, and may even give you nightmares.

Their […]
