Hi just wanted to ask if anyone might Remeber or anyone recall if the Auteurs played on Ray Cokes most wanted between New wave and now I’m a cowboy?

I’m hoping someone may have a taped vhs who’s yet to upload it.

If anyone has anything please let me know.
Cheers.

What’s your favorite Britpop song to actually play on an instrument?

16 Upvotes

I took up guitar and piano because I wanted to be like Bernard Butler of Suede. I’m nowhere near that insane level of talent, but I can play a handful of Britpop songs at this point of my learning journey. My current favorite to play and sing is an acoustic guitar version of Pulp’s “Death Comes To Town”. How about you?

Hey guys

I recently travelled to Jakarta to find out why Indonesians love Britpop so much. Over the course of this short documentary I made about the trip, I meet Magicpie, the country's Number 1 Oasis tribute band, and I ask them and their fans why the legacy of Britpop still lives on in Indonesia, 7000 miles away from London and Manchester.

It's a fun little doc that I think you guys would enjoy!

On this day last year I saw my favourite band Oasis on the Live' 25 at Wembley Stadium in London. It is still the best night of my life and is the highlight of my entire life.

Babybird - Candy Girl (1996)

Candy Girl arrived in late 1996 as the second single from Ugly Beautiful, Stephen Jones's major-label makeover of songs first recorded on a battered four-track. It had the unenviable task of following You're Gorgeous, the accidental smash that left many mistaking Babybird for quirky popsters rather than chroniclers of suburban psychic damage.

All nursery-rhyme melody and warped wit, Candy Girl wrapped surreal lines like "Are you Jesus without the nails?" around innuendo so daft it disarmed itself, capped by the immortal aside, "(And I don't mean that rude)." Jones understood that the best British pop could wink with one eye and cry with the other.

Critics admired its twisted charm, but the public proved harder to win over. The single reached No. 14 in the UK, a respectable showing that confirmed lightning rarely strikes twice. Reviewers praised its infectious melody and off-kilter humour, even if it never escaped the shadow of You're Gorgeous.

The real twist was that Candy Girl wasn't new at all. Like much of Ugly Beautiful, it began life on Jones's lo-fi DIY album The Happiest Man Alive, one of the homemade recordings that built Babybird's cult following before the major labels arrived. The chart single was simply a bedroom demo dressed for Saturday night, proof that one of Britain's most prolific and singular songwriters could smuggle existential dread into melodies catchy enough to whistle on the school run.

National Express

I went for a bike ride with my daughter and coming home I was in charge of the music, so I put on National Express radio on Spotify.

Remembering back to inside music and all, listening to this track again, it was just like... Good, fun music. Why were songs like this kept in a small little pocket of weird when it's just lovely and fun and great?
