Podcasts about Britpop

Pitch and Power is The Globe and Mail's World Cup podcast. In the 1980s, Margaret Thatcher's England was a country under strain, marked by industrial decline, social unrest and sharp political divides. In that climate, English soccer became a national problem rather than a point of pride. Stadiums crumbled, hooliganism spread and tragedy struck at Bradford, Heysel, and Hillsborough. The game felt like a relic: toxic, unsafe, unloved. Then, in the summer of 1990, something shifted. This episode traces how the 1990 World Cup helped detoxify English soccer and reframe national identity. We look at how an improbable tournament run became a cultural moment that opened the door to Britpop on the radio, “Cool Britannia” in the headlines and the Premier League era that followed. This is the story of a sport crawling out of the wreckage and a country finding a new way to love its national team. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week, we're leaving the guitar-smashing world of Blur behind and stepping into the strange, animated universe of Gorillaz with their massive 2000s classic “Feel Good Inc.” Diallo & LUXXURY break down how Damon Albarn went from Britpop frontman to the voice behind one of the most original bands of the era — and how a song built on a nasty bassline, eerie laughter, acoustic strums, and De La Soul's unforgettable feature became impossible to pin down and even harder to forget. The guys get into Demon Days, Jamie Hewlett's wild Gorillaz concept, the genius of turning a “band” into a whole fictional world, and why “Feel Good Inc.” feels like a party record, a cartoon transmission, and a weird little warning all at once. Along the way, they trace the early bridge from Blur to Gorillaz, unpack the song's strange mix of hip-hop, alt-rock, and pop, and talk about how this record keeps finding new life with listeners who weren't even there the first time around.

This week, we're turning the amps all the way up and diving deep into Blur's explosive, ridiculous, accidentally immortal anthem “Song 2.” Diallo & LUXXURY break down how a two-minute blast of blown-out drums, filthy guitars, and one unforgettable “woo-hoo” became one of the loudest pieces of late-90s pop culture. The guys get into Blur's post-Britpop reinvention, Damon Albarn's restless creative brain, Graham Coxon's chaotic guitar energy, and the question at the center of the whole song: was “Song 2” a joke, a parody, or just a perfect rock record by accident? Along the way, they trace how the track jumped from the studio to sports arenas, commercials, video games, trailers, and TV — plus the early signs of the next band Damon Albarn would create. Songs Discussed: "Song 2" - Blur "There's No Other Way" - Blur "I'm Free" - The Soup Dragons "Bettle Bum" - Blur "Sing" - Blur "Sing (Original Version) - Seymore "On Your Own" - Blur "Song 2 (Unplugged Version)" - Blur "All Day All Of The Night" - The Kinks "Hate To Say I Told You So" - The Hives "Woo Hoo" - The Rock-A-Teens "Woo Hoo" - The 5,6,7,8's "Bug Man" - Blur Diallo & LUXXURY talk about music!

¿Cuál era una de formas más fáciles y económicas para descubrir nueva música en los años 90 antes de que existiera Internet? La respuesta está en los discos recopilatorios, auténticas fuentes de culto y joyas de coleccionismo. En el episodio de hoy nos sumergimos en You're No Big Deal (Grunge, The U.S. Underground And Beyond 1984-1994) , la espectacular y ambiciosa caja de 4 CDs lanzada por el mítico sello británico Cherry Red Records. Con 81 canciones y una icónica portada del fotógrafo Charles Peterson, este recopilatorio no es solo una colección de éxitos, sino una auténtica cápsula del tiempo que narra la historia del grunge y el rock alternativo americano desde sus raíces underground hasta su explosión global. En este episodio analizamos: El impacto de Nirvana: Cómo el lanzamiento de Smells Like Teen Spirit en 1991 lo cambió todo de la noche a la mañana, unificando a tribus urbanas rivales (góticos, metaleros, ravers) bajo el uniforme global de las camisas de franela. La respuesta británica: La llegada del Britpop como contraatque nostálgico frente a la crudeza, la distorsión y la actitud desaliñada de las bandas estadounidenses. Charla exclusiva con Richard Anderson: El ideólogo detrás de esta caja nos cuenta cómo se gestó el proyecto, el reto de conseguir las licencias y la búsqueda de bandas oscuras y singles únicos. La visión de Mark Arm (Mudhoney / Green River): Repasamos la entrevista incluida en el libreto donde la leyenda de Seattle desmitifica el "movimiento grunge", detalla la transición del hardcore punk hacia sonidos más experimentales, y explica la enorme e inesperada influencia que tuvieron las bandas de punk australianas en el sonido de Seattle. + info - https://linktr.ee/b90podcast Espacio patrocinado por: Dani Go - Fran Cordero Cañas - Jose Manuel Valera - Barullo - Unai Elordui - JulMorGon - David Salamanca Sanz - Jaime Marchica Band - Sr.Jota - Theinvisibleband - jorge - Llorx Miller - Yago Llopis - boldano - estebansantosjuanesbosch - Vicent Martin - Matias Ruiz Molina - Próxima Estación Okinawa - Rosa Rivas - jvcliment - Jaume Solivelles - Javier Alcalde - jmgomez - Ana Isabel Miguélez Domínguez - Iñigo Albizu - Rachael - Naïa - Jaime Cruz Flórez - DOMINGO SANTABÁRBARA - faeminoandtired - Javi Portas - Belén Vaca - Ana FM - tueresgeorge - Eduardo Mayordomo Muñoz - Barrax de Pump - pdr_rmn - fernando - QUIROGEA Integrative Osteopath - J.

In this edition of arts24, we meet a musical polymath and an icon of British popular music. Graham Coxon is one of the founding members of Blur, pioneers of the Britpop movement that dominated the 1990s music scene. A solo artist in his own right, Coxon has released nine studio albums and three soundtracks over the last two decades. Now for the first time, he is re-releasing his entire solo catalogue as well as a new record, "Castle Park", which had been locked away in the musical vaults for more than 15 years. Our Music Editor Jennifer Ben Brahim sat down with him in Paris.

1986 hat die britische Band The Smiths ihr drittes Album "The Queen Is Dead" veröffentlicht. Es zählt mit Blick auf die Chartpositionierungen zu den international erfolgreichsten Alben der Gruppe, neben ihrem Album "Meat Is Murder". "The Queen Is Dead" von The Smiths ist Morrisseys Abrechnung mit dem britischen Königshaus, erklärt Frank König im Meilensteine Podcast. Und es ist gleichzeitig Wegbereiter für den Britpop, der Mitte der 90er die Charts erobern sollte. Das Album "The Queen Is Dead" ist auch der direkte Nachfolger ihres Meilenstein-Albums "Meat Is Murder" aus dem Jahr 1985, von dem wir unter anderem den Hit "How Soon Is Now?" kennen. Neben der genialen Gitarrenarbeit von Johnny Marr, steht auch bei diesem Album die polarisierende Figur Morrissey im Vordergrund. Zum einen mit seinem besonderen Stil und seinen außergewöhnlichen Gesangsmelodien, vor allem aber auch wegen seiner Texte und seinem öffentlichen Auftreten, das oft von Provokation geprägt ist. Was davon ernst gemeint ist und was nicht, ist oft nur sehr schwer auseinanderzuhalten. "Es zieht sich auch durch dieses Album. Auf der einen Seite dieses "Ihr könnt uns alle mal" und auf der anderen, dieses Trotzdem-geliebt-werden-wollen, scheint so immanent zu sein bei ihm", sagt Podcast-Host Frank König über die verschiedenen Signale, die Morrissey aussendet. Auch abseits der Musik hat Morrissey seine Provokationen nach außen getragen und sich und die Band immer so inszeniert, dass sie zu wenig Unterstützung (zum Beispiel durch die Plattenfirma) bekommen hätten und sie eigentlich viel erfolgreicher sein müssten. Zu der Zeit hat die Management-Aufgaben keine Agentur oder ein offizieller Manager übernommen, sondern Gitarrist Johnny Marr zusätzlich zu seiner musikalischen Arbeit. Zum Mangel an öffentlicher Aufmerksamkeit in den 80ern kann noch angefügt werden, dass die Gruppe sich in den 80ern selbst lange dagegen gewehrt hat, Musikvideos zu drehen, was damals das bestimmende Medium gewesen ist, erklärt Podcast Gast und Morrissey-Experte Klaus Biehler. Das erste Musikvideo gab es dann zu dem Song "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side" vom Album "The Queen Is Dead". Für Musikredakteurin Katharina Heinius ist "The Queen Is Dead" ein zeitloses Album, weil es eine Art Bindeglied ist. Die Band ist beeinflusst von der Musik der Rolling Stones, der Beatles, vom Soul der 60er Jahre genauso wie von Bands wie den New York Dolls. Diese Einflüsse nimmt die Band, besonders auf diesem Album, verarbeitet sie und wird damit zum Vorläufer des Britpop. __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "The Queen Is Dead" findet ihr auf www.swr1.de __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Dominic Mohan in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.amazon.co.uk/1996-Backstage-Wildest-Britains-must-read/dp/0008767130 https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2026/event/1996-a-celebration-of-the-wildest-year-of-britains-wildest 1996. Britpop ruled the airwaves. The tabloids framed reality long before Instagram.Football was finally coming home. Tony Blair was learning to play rock star – and rock stars were learning they could play politics. Everyone was partying hard, and Britain was the coolest place on earth. Showbiz reporter Dominic Mohan wasn't watching the party from afar – he was in the room. Backstage at Knebworth with Oasis. In strip clubs with Robbie Williams. On the phone to Bowie. On the receiving end of Spice Girls gossip, Gallagher gobbiness and tabloid-era chaos. From Euro '96 euphoria to Brit Awards anarchy, from rave culture to New Labour, Mohan witnessed the moment the UK went from scruffy indie island to global cultural powerhouse. Part memoir, part cultural autopsy and part riotous tour through the 90s and its greatest year, 1996 is a jaw-dropping front-row seat to the madness, the music, the football, and the politics that reshaped Britain – and created legends along the way. Three decades on, Mohan returns to the year everything peaked, and asks: what the hell happened, why did it matter, and can it ever happen again?

The 1996 debut album Spiders by Liverpool's Space is an eclectic mix of trip-hop, Madchester, Britpop, and more, including the 60s lounge of single “Female of the Species.” But eclecticism can slip into inconsistency, and attempts at various genres results in uneven levels of quality.   Songs In This Episode Intro - Female of the Species 15:51 - Dark Clouds 20:30 - Me And You Vs The World 28:50 - Major Pager 30:43 - Money Outro - Neighborhood   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Twenty years ago I got an iPod. The rest as they say is history. Having published a mod fanzine in So Cal in the 80s, and then a website in the 90s devoted to mod style and cocktail culture, I was predisposed to be intrigued by this new fangled publishing medium called a podcast. I dove in head first on May 26, 2006 with the very first episode of It's A Mod Mod World, which quickly got rebranded to Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World. Now here we are 20 years and 600 shows later.

A whole new age of psychedelia kicked off in the mid-‘80s, of dream-weavers and glorious underachievers, a complete rejection of the standard rock approach to stagecraft, sound and self-promotion. Simon Reynolds was at the heart of it, writing for Melody Maker and piping aboard the pioneering noise-mongers aiming to entrance and disorientate, as recalled in his new book ‘Still In A Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers and the Reinvention of Rock 1984-1994'. He looks back with us here from his home in Los Angeles at its key bands, events and spiritual godfathers, these among them … … the return to childhood via Syd Barrett and Jonathan Richman to Sarah Records … is ‘feeble little horse' the most Shoegaze band name ever? ... what it was about Morrissey that made Smiths singles sink after Top Of The Pops … the reason Bowie formed a band … charming/infuriating interviews with the Cocteau Twins: “words only have any meaning when they're sung” … how Britpop brought down the curtain of the wall of sound … Shoegaze, Dreampop, Lovelynoise, Wide-Brimmed Hat Music and the rock press attempt to impose order: “if a band was on the cover they could double their fee” ... the divine arrogance of Lawrence of Felt who “didn't want ordinary people buying my records” … the ever-extending “noise chasms” of My Bloody Valentine … “shattering quartz”: reviewing music that's about sound not words … Shoegaze DNA in the 21st Century ... and the greatest album of that decade, “each track like a session beer”.

Is there a new mod renaissance upon us? That is the question I've been asking myself since last year. Sitting in Seattle casting my jaundiced eye on the scene from afar I ask you: is London swinging again? Over the years claims of new mod revivals have been made, and almost never supported, especially in the 21st century. I dive deep into the subject, here's my research and my opinion. Agree or disagree? Let me know. Either way I think you'll enjoy the show.

Joining us a couple of days after his 62nd Birthday is one of the icons of BritPop. As the drummer in Blur he had a front row seat for the 90s music scene, and thankfully he had the forethought to photograph a lot of it. Now collated into a book 'No One You Know' he's in a nostalgic mood, and in our conversation we reminisce on Smash Hits, life before camera-phones and that time Blur played the first gig on Mars... no really! It's a fascinating chat, and if Blur's music has played a part in your life - drop us a note to let us know what you thought of the episode - you can email hello@whitewinepod.comCheers Hosted on Acast.

At the time of recording, she spoke for fans across the country in hoping the BRITPOP tour would finally bring him back… and now it has. Even better, she's got her tickets.Carolina takes us right into the heart of the chaos at the Mucho Lucho TV recording in 2004, recalling the moment Robbie Williams walked off set. She also shares her full-circle journey as a fan, from seeing him live in Chile in 2006, through a 17-year wait to finally catch a XXV Tour show in Turkey, and on to the BRITPOP and Long 90s tours.

It's easy and honestly fun to complain about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Every year, they announce a class of inductees and music fans rise up in anger asking “how is so and so not in yet” or “how did this person get in before that person.” Or, my favorite, “what? That person isn't even rock and roll.” We all do it. Hell, we've done entire episodes on how the Rock Hall screwed up.  But the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced the inductees for the class of 2026 and they pretty much got it right this year.  Phil Collins finally getting kudos for his solo career, Billy Idol with that punk-pop sneer, Iron Maiden crashing the metal gates, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis bringing the Britpop attitude, the smooth sounds of Sade, R&B king Luther Vandross, and Wu-Tang Clan changing the game. They rounded it out with Early Influence nods, Musical Excellence awards, and even Ed Sullivan for bringing rock into living rooms. Look, it's not the purest guitar-rock kickass class ever inducted, but it actually reflects how music evolved and shaped culture.

Sheffield punches well above its weight when it comes to tunes. From #1 synth-pop hits to underground techno classics, clattering industrial funk to accidental Britpop icons, the Steel City might have produced more brilliant music per capita than any other world metropolis.And yet, no one has published the definitive book on the subject – until now! Daniel Dylan Wray is one of the UK's best music writers, and his new book Groovy, Laidback and Nasty: The History of Independent Music in Sheffield chronicles the maverick artists, chart invaders, parties, labels, venues and even Christian cults that shaped the city's musical history.We talked to Dan about why Sheffield wasn't swept away by punk rock but instead loved Kraftwerk and Wendy Carlos, how Peter Stringfellow became a crucial early mover in Sheffield's club scene, and why there are no murals of Jarvis Cocker in the city centre. We also heard about the unlikely chain of events that birthed Warp Records, and one of the most important yet undersung ‘80s club nights, Jive Turkey.We also unveil a major expansion of our Rockufiction canon of ‘music films that bend reality', including Frank Zappa, Daft Punk, Macca and S Club 7. That'll probably be the final update on Rockufiction, but if you have any burning additions then get them in quick…As ever, if you like what we do on No Tags, please do consider signing up to our paid tier for a mere £5 per month!

Fast forward, and he's now seen Robbie three times in the past year, bringing a fresh but fully invested fan perspective to the review.Edite takes us on her journey from teenage fandom in Latvia to experiencing Robbie live for the first time on the BRITPOP tour.

From the rise of Britpop and the explosion of Pop-Punk to the moody evolution of Post-Grunge, 1996 was a defining year for the airwaves. In this episode, we're breaking down the cultural shifts that happened when "Alternative" officially became the mainstream.

This week I'm serving up something a bit different! There is another podcast I do called Tape Spaghetti with my good buddy Scott Marquart. On that podcast, we explore strange musical stories, and I'm giving you a sample of it here. Let's get into it! OG show notes: You already know the chorus. In fact, you've probably scream-sung it at a bar. But, what do you know about the band behind Tubthumping? What if we told you that the biggest pub anthem of the '90s was written by militant anarchic agitators who supported striking miners, clashed with fascists, and called a crumbling Victorian mansion home? Yep, Chumbawamba is probably a LOT more interesting than you might have imagined. In this week's episode of Tape Spaghetti, Scott & Blake trace the band's journey from punk squatters in Northern England to Britpop chart-toppers, and the ideological tightrope they walked along the way. Some might have accused them of selling out, but when "Tubthumping" became a global smash, the band used their spotlight for disruption: rewriting lyrics on national TV, provoking politicians, and donating profits to radical causes. Here's what happens when anarchists accidentally write one of the catchiest pop hooks ever recorded. Support The Show And Connect! The Text Chat is back!

Since the late 1970's musician, author, historian, music journalist John Robb has seen just about everything. After writing nine books ranging from Goth Rock to Brit Pop (a term that he coined himself), after writing for such respected music publications as The Melody Maker, Sounds, The Guardian, The Independents (and many others), after running the website Louder Than War, after appearing in nearly every British music documentary over the last several decades, and after releasing more than two dozen records with his bands The Membranes and Goldblade—John Robb has finally written about his own amazing life story. His latest book “Punk Rock Ruined My Life: And Other Stories” (out May 19th) takes a look at the ups and downs of a wild career! John and I talk about everything from David Bowie to the Sex Pistols, to being the first British journalist to interview Nirvana, to bands we both love, to running a fanzine, to the late Steve Albini, and a whole lot more. It's always great to welcome him back to the podcast! Listen on Apple Podcast, YouTube, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee.

Blur's third album, 1994's 'Parklife', was released the same year as Oasis' debut 'Definitely Maybe'. And while many saw this as Britpop's answer to a Beatles/Stones rivalry, none other than Ray Davies himself considered Blur - and especially Parklife - as the heir apparent to ANOTHER classic British band, The Kinks.

Send us Fan MailChristian Dryden and David Andreana from the Ritualists stop by the show to discuss the up coming UK tour, new music that might be coming out in the fall, AI and more. ****Rising from the NYC underground scene of the Lower East Side, The Ritualists first attained international critical acclaim for their debut album, Painted People, released just prior to the pandemic on Out of Line Music. The record, and particularly, its lead single “Ice Flower,” was hailed as a seamless blend of dark beauty & anthemic pop sensibilities. The follow-up effort, Baroque & Bleeding, produced by Brit-Pop icon, Ed Buller(Psychedelic Furs, White Lies, Pulp, Suede), has been described as “pure new romantic psychedelia,” by Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon, and continued the trend of critical adoration, along with regular airplay on SiriusXM. This momentum lead to multiple US tours and multiple collaborations, performing with members of Blondie, Love and Rockets, D Generation and The New York Dolls. The Ritualists now seek to build on their brand of “Gothic Art Rock” (Hollywood Life) with their latest, full-length effort, Too Pure to Cure (Suite484Music) produced by GRAMMY-winner, Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Prince, Willow). The band, which has oftentimes been identified as proudly embracing the more ornate elements of rock-and-roll, further tested such boundaries, as this newest release was honored on multiple "Best of 2025" lists & has been described as "Moody, melodic & undeniably magnetic" by Savoir Faire & "a heartfelt and adventurous offering from a band that seems poised to usher in a new era of new romantic art rock" by Regen MagazineThe Ritualists have announced their first-ever tour of the UK in support of their 3rd album, Too Pure to Cure.Christian Dryden and co. will embark on a short, but compelling run of shows across the UK, with stops in London, Manchester, Reading and Nottingham, from April 17th-22nd.  The Gothic Art Rockers (Hollywood Life), will be showcasing material from the new album alongside selections from their critically-acclaimed back catalogue, much of which will be fresh to British Audiences.Their latest, full-length effort, released on all platforms through (Suite484Music) and produced by GRAMMY-winner, Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Prince, Willow), has been honored on multiple "Best of 2025" lists & described as "Moody, melodic and undeniably magnetic" and by Savoir Faire as "a heartfelt and adventurous offering from a band that seems poised to usher in a new era of new romantic art rock" by Regen MagazineTickets & More Info available through www.theritualists.com/event-listWebsite: https://www.theritualists.com/****If you would like to contact the show Dauna@betertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX0ETs2wpOHbCuhUNr0XFTw?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomSupport the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedom©2026 BetteSupport the show

Dominic Mohan saw Britpop on the inside from the showbiz desk of the Sun in the days when it sold 4.5m copies, a series of heated memories recorded in ‘1996: My Backstage Pass to the Wildest Year of Britain's Wildest Decade', a lost age of hedonism, stupidity, drunkenness and creativity. He makes a compelling case in this very funny and colourful podcast which stumbles into … … the advice David Hepworth gave him when he was 16 … Euro 96 and headlines you couldn't run now … how the deaths of Kurt Cobain and John Smith changed the picture … doorstepping Phil Collins' ex-wife … the wreath for Noel Gallagher “the fat dancer from Take That” sent to the Sun … Cool Britannia and that brief love affair between music and politics … on the dancefloor at the Labour Conference with Mo Mowlam, John Prescott and Chris Evans … Knebworth 1996, the perfect marriage of alternative music and club culture with a £250,000 bar bill … the debt Pulp, Oasis and Blur owe Ray Davies - “less the Godfather of Britpop, more a concerned uncle” … is it hard to identify a new zeitgeist when people don't congregate as much? … the ‘reverse-ferret' from American culture towards bespectacled blokes from Sheffield … the shameless age before people public apology … how the post-Spice Girls TV talent shows soaked up the budgets and column inches … and Madonna dancing with Dennis Hopper.

Season 8 gets weird, wild, and wonderfully nostalgic as Dangerous Dave dives into one of the most unique sitcoms ever made — ALF, the sarcastic alien who crash-landed into 80s pop culture and never really left.We rewind to 1994 in What Happened Way Back When, exploring a year packed with alternative music, cult cinema, and the rise of iconic TV. From dreamy indie tracks by Mazzy Star to the emerging Britpop scene and genre-defining shows like Friends, the episode paints a vivid picture of a world shaped by attitude, identity, and changing entertainment trends. Retro Headlines from the UK and US highlight a cultural shift toward youth-driven media, expanding television, and the growing influence of gaming and music culture.In a full Dangerous Deep Dive, Dave explores the origins of ALF, created by Paul Fusco, breaking down the show's concept, cast, and the genius of its central character. From laugh-out-loud chaos to surprisingly emotional moments about loneliness and belonging, the episode examines why ALF stood out — and why it struggled behind the scenes. With a detailed look at the show's most memorable episodes, its abrupt cancellation, and its enduring cult status, Dave asks whether ALF is one of the most underrated sitcoms of its era.Elsewhere in the episode:
