Blah, blah 20 years, blah, blah.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2014/britpop-at-the-bbc.html

Should be at least a little something of interest.

Crikey, there's a lot in there. Thought there would be more Pulp though with Jarvis a colleague of Lamacq and Whiley now, maybe there will be.

A slight cross-over from the other thread, but I wonder how much material of the band the Beeb have which hasn't ever been broadcast. Live footage of We Can Dance Again from the Prince's Trust gig in late '94 is the one thing that really springs to mind.

I'm all for radio but my ideal Britpop season would be loads of 90's gig footage on tv plus The Girlie Show As well as all this radio goodness. And plenty of PULP, INCLUDING Jarvis on Dear Dilemma.

Ta.

 

*edit: just noticed that it is bbc4 too and not all on radio...

Just checked out Lamacq's Britpop blog only to discover I was at a couple of the gigs mentioned.

I know, see my edit, was temporarily blinded by excitement. Do hope it's not totally taken up with the terrible Blur/Oasis faux battle.

 Yes! Jarvis can't bring himself to condemn his faithless behaviour "Ah, but, you know, she was Frrrench..!". Funny, after that,  that he ended up married to a French woman!

 Quite agree. That was ridiculous and boring.

The BBC Britpop poll: use it or lose it to Coldplay

Steve Lamacq on Radio 6 is asking for Britpop anthem suggestions for a longlist of 30 songs to be voted on via the website somehow next week. He just said Shed Seven seem to be doing well - I'm afraid the only thing I know about Shed Seven is that they're from York, so I have no opinion on whether this is a good or bad thing, right county at least!

There's a bit more detail about what's going to be on here:

Looks like Sky Arts might be doing their own bit of Britpopness. I'm just watching Blur Parklive now then is Oasis live after. hopefully more to follow.

You can vote in the BBC poll now, choice of 40! I have found 2 computers to vote on so far.

Ok so this season of programmes starts tonight and despite my better judgement I actually find myself looking forward to them. If nostalgia is an illness then I have a terminal case sadly. Lots of stuff going on but I suspect this may be the pick for us on the first day.

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03zxycw

Oh, and one more thing; am I alone in associating the Evening Session with Mark Goodier first and foremost?

I found Miranda Sawyer's programme yesterday, about Britpop and the media, terrifyingly interesting. There was a bit where a tabloid (Mirror, was it?) journalist of the time was talking about how Sorted-gate was promoted from one sentence in a minor column to a front page crisis because it was a slow news day approaching deadline time.

Anyone listen to the one on 6Music with Jarvis presenting alongside Jo from 95?

I did, a bit of a strange one. And I calculated it must have been 4 May not April like it says on the BBC website.

Common People was number one on 6 music's list of the top 40 Britpop songs, Disco 2000 made it in at 9 .

An excellent end to the Britpop season! Interesting they chose to play the early session version.

Indeed, very enjoyable and always nice to see it get recognition, for what it's worth. Guess it shouldn't be a surprise, it is well-loved, but I just expected Don't Look Back In Anger.

Good that Disco 2000 made the cut as well - the same day as that Guardian piece giving it as an example of a song that 'doesn't age well'!

Oasis vote split at 3 and 4, Blur vote surprisingly low, though not surprising that the far superior Girls and Boys ended up below the grating Parklife. I wasn;t at all sure what the impact of the Radio 2 audience on the vote might be, I thought it was quite possible they would all have voted for Wonderwall. I was wracking my brains trying to work out what the one remaining in the top few was going to be given there weren't enough Blur/Oasis/Pulp songs left, didn't manage to come up with Bitter Sweet Symphony, but it is a great song. D2K @ 9 meant the vote wasn't split. The Sept 94 session version doesn't convey anything like the ultimate power that the song came to have by the next summer, interesting as it is.
