Cool Britannia

Filed under: Life

There was a documentary on Showtime last night about Cool Britannia, the popular culture of the mid-90s in the UK. It was refreshing to catch interviews with the brothers Gallagher (separately, of course), Jarvis Cocker, Damon Albarn etc., along with Sleeper's lovely Louise Wener.

The best part was Liam's assessment of Noel's visit to Number 10 after Labour won the 1997 election. Asked whether he was invited, Liam replied "No". Asked whether he would have gone, he replied "No. It looks like a bit of a shit house anyway".

Saw Wener the other day. She appears to be heavily pregnant. Guess you missed your chance Dan...

Awesome, haven't heard those names in a long time. Pulp was the ish. Oasis were too self absorbed. Isn't Albarn behind the fictional band "Gorillaz" nowadays? Sleeper was cool but a one hit wonder unfortunately. "You said I was cheap? You were the Sale of the Century"...
