	The History of Rock Music - The Nineties
		Stereolab (12) were not the first and were not the only ones, but somehow they came to represent a nostalgic take on Sixties pop music that employed electronic rhythms and arrangements.
		Multi-instrumentalist Cornelius (1), born Keigo Oyamada, composed "pop tunes" by overdubbing "found" samples and stereotypical music, achieving on Fantasma (1997) and, partially, Point (2002) a kind of eclectic postmodernist nonsense.
		The most creative aspect of his compositions was how elements of "musique concrete" (found noises that were sampled, looped and refined) got to be integrated with the rhythmic and melodic infrastructure of the songs without sacrificing the aural appeal of the song.

		Their songs tend to be either pure pop music (Blur's "Girls and Boys") or anthemic (Oasis' "Don't Look Back In Anger"), with a strong "sing-along" factor.
		By the year 2000, the initial wave had subsided: Oasis had all but collapsed under the weight of expectation, cocaine and self-indulgence, Blur had rejected pop for a more introspective sound, and Radiohead had decided they were a progressive rock band.

	Boston.com / A&E / Music / Killers' Brit-flavored pop brings Roxy to life
		If the Killers appreciate the irony of being an American band influenced by Brit pop who first gained notice in the UK, they must be exulting now that they're inciting a British Invasion-style furor at home.
		Even more elegant pop songs, such as "Smile Like You Mean It," on which Flowers demonstrated a vocal suppleness and ironic inflection that recalled Morrissey, and "Change Your Mind," which featured bright, sinuous keyboards, had crowd members shouting and dancing with their hands in the air.
		The night of pitch-perfect pop was kicked off by the lovely, jangling indie rock of the New York City-based quintet Ambulance LTD, who delivered harmony-laced songs with big riffs and subtle humor, and by the Norwegian addition to the Brit pop fest, the female-fronted band SurferRosa.

		After being marked as the dreaded "Next big thing" in England and then shipped off to America with no idea of what to expect, Starsailor seem to be holding their own at least as well as, if not better than, the more insular Coldplay did around this time last year.

		Brit Pop arrived in the early 1990s in part as a reaction to the dominance of American Grunge bands.
		Brit Pop is an eclectic sound drawing on many musical styles of the previous 40 years - especially the music of The Beatles, Mod bands of the 60s like The Who, Rocker bands like The Rolling Stones, and Punk bands like The Sex Pistols.
		As with The Stones and The Beatles, some Brit Pop bands achieved success in America and emerged as 'superstars'.

		If we're to believe the hype, Brit pop is now so damn regressive that the kids over there have taken to ambient electronic music.
		Gone are the immaculately tight and spiffy three-minute pop tunes, the third-person character studies, and the insular Britishness of Parklife.
		Dissonant guitars, loose beats, obscured vocals, out-of-tune solos, and deconstructed new-wave keyboard accents punctuate songs that are interested in exploring the sonic possibilities of pop rather than the peculiar oddities of British life.

		In 1985 former topless model Sam Fox and veteran musician Mick Fleetwood presented the first show to be known as the Brits, but the event was largely greeted with derision by fans and critics after the pair fluffed their lines and confused artists names and acts.

		According to Dower, Brit Pop’s early rumblings began with the singular moment of the Stone Roses’; legendary Spike Island gig, but as a band they soon disappeared from the stage, and American grunge was waiting in the wings.
		For anyone who hadn’t peered into the bubble of Brit Pop sometime in the mid-90s, and seen their goofy grin peer back, Live Forever is an informative and entertaining documentary, leading the audience through some of the whys and wherefores of this momentary bravado in the British cultural psyche.
		However, those who didn’t have the interest to bother themselves with Brit Pop and Cool Britannia at the time are even less likely to have the interest now.

	Roots Rock Meets Brit Pop: Alex Walsh - Press
		These are pop songs with an eye on genre, true, but the original approach and generally superb musicianship make name-the-influences seem an unnecessary excercise.
		A lesson to be learned from Walsh and company: these 12 tracks were culled from sessions that yielded 21 songs, allowing for some discretion when it came to selecting tracks for release.
		In a world where people often see fit to release the entire output of an artist regardless of quality, it's refreshing and rewarding to enjoy the benefits of such restraint.

		It seems as though each year a wave of Brit pop bands comes over to America with one emerging as the public's favorite.
		Coldplay held the title a few years ago, Keane tried for it last year with a modicum of success and Long-View vies for the crown this year.
		Long-View is an evolution of the standard Brit pop formula, with a good mix of both very catchy pop songs and slower, more emotional songs.

	Blur Transcends Brit-pop with '13'
		With producer William Orbit's help (of Madonna's Ray of Light fame), Blur has managed to break away from the clean-cut, "smart for their age," boy-band persona, with the newfangled electronic equipment offered in the contemporary recording studio.
		The result of such meandering is the most innovative "pop" album since the official masterpiece, Radiohead's OK Computer.
		Many of you may know Blur from such vehicles as their smash success "song of the summer," "Girls and Boys" from their 1994 release Parklife, or perhaps "Song 2" (the Woo Hoo bit I'm sure) from 1997's eponymous record.

		Anyone familiar with the contemporary pop scene knows there are more American bands trying to sound like Radiohead than there are British bands willing to be confused with, say, Widespread Panic.
		Gomez has been cruising the States this year anyway with "Split the Difference," a fourth proper studio record that finds the band once again blending blues-rock, jaunty pop, psychedelia and electronics in a way that people find hard to classify.
		While "Split the Difference" has some great potential singles, notably the punchy pop song "Silence" and ballad "Sweet Virginia," Gomez has yet to break one in the States.

		From the Swinging 60s and the mods, from the seventies and the punks to Generation E, Britpop and Cool Britain the past 50 years have seen a steady stream of world-sweeping movements, trends, and styles come out of the British Isles.
		Calcutt deftly deconstructs hundreds of Brit Cult icons such as Monty Python, J. Ballard, Nick Hornby, Martin Amis, Doc Martens, E-Type Jaguars, glam, and goth, Malcolm McClaren, Blur, Oasis, The Kinks, The Who, and the Stones and identifies who or what they are, what they represent to us, and what they have, in turn, inspired.
		Each entry is a brief, stand-alone essay providing biographical details, analysis, observation, and opinion; but, taken together, the essays add up to a revealing portrait of the good (The Beatles), the bad (racist skinheads) and the ugly (football hooligans) of British pop culture in all its many facets.
