Publisher's Synopsis
Throughout the 1990s, Brit-in-America Dave Thompson was among that hardy handful of journalists writing and fighting to introduce the US to the glories of Britpop - Oasis, Suede, Blur, Pulp, Elastica, Supergrass, Sleeper and many, many more. This collection brings together around 100 reviews and interviews as published between 1993-1999 in a wealth of American magazines, from mainstream newstand publications to underground fanzines and local free sheets. Unseen since their original publication two decades back, they trace Britpop from its earliest beginnings through to the end of the last century, highlighting all the major releases (and many minor ones too) in both Thompson's own words, and those of their makers. A musical time machine whisking you back to the days of Parklife, Morning Glory, Dog Man Star and so much more. Includes index.
