THE ’90s Podcast - Season 07 - Episode 01 - Blur - Parklife (1994)

WHATS UP EVERYBODY??!!?? This week John and Sarah sit down and talk about the catalyst for the explosion of Britpop – Parklife by Blur. We look at a band who were tipped to be the next big thing, but fell away, only to pick up at the right moment. We redefine the word “Punk” in music, as the band kept their sound, in spite of the requests to change from the management and label. As we go track by track, we analyze Damon Alburn’s style of writing at the time, and how his penache for writing small stories made for some great songs, and some average ones. We also go over the title track, which made its way into mainstream British culture, and reignited a fued in the most public way. Finally we talk about what could be the bands most epic song, from a source which is probably the most boring.

We also have news on the Saucer Section podcast, and a return of the ‘90s Gamer.
