'Popscene' was one of the new songs that had fired Blur with creative zeal before the loss of all their money, the sacking of their manager, the negative responses of their record company and the exhausting Rollercoaster tour had frayed their nerves to ragged edges.
But 'Popscene', Blur's first single in almost a year, was going to make everything all right; of this everyone was sure.
A scathing attack on a culture and industry they felt increasingly at odds with, 'Popscene' is Blur's great lost single, perhaps even the great forgotten British pop song of the 90s.

 Home of the Underdogs - Entry: Popscene   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Popscene is a fun "band simulation" from MDickie, probably the world's most underrated "lone wolf" game designer.
Gameplay-wise, Popscene is similar to Rockstar, but with many more options and a stronger focus on exciting, non-quantitative aspects of the music industry such as the personalities of various singers, scandals, industry awards, and taking your band on a tour.
The blocky 3D graphics in Popscene, like MDickie's wrestling games, are nothing to write home about in terms of realism, but they do a great job of conveying the various moods of your band, the crowd, and the (usually moody) record company representatives.

 sfweekly.com - Music - Bittersweet Symphonies:Popscene's decade of Anglophile adoration
Popscene provided an Anglophile outlet from its early nexus — it started on Aug. 31, 1995, to be exact — and is still ushering in the next wave of modern pop.
The choice of headliner gets to the core of Popscene's formula: The Killers are by no means a breaking act with Pitchfork.com cred, but they fit into the dance-rock mold, Popscene DJs played their music early on, and they are a favorite among the club's young demographic.
"Popscene epitomizes the diversity and passion that exists in S.F., and the dancing and good music and sweat strips away all of the stereotypes, the negativity, and the egos," she says.

Appearing just as it did on the 12" version and later on the American release of Modern Life Is Rubbish, "Popscene" is what it always was: the instantly engaging blast of a band leaving its past behind in a frenzy of Teardrop Explodes-style horns and massive feedback melodies.

"Mace," which appeared on all formats of "Popscene," is lyrically based on a disastrous post-gig experience in early days, and, like the A-side, has all four bandmembers at their best, Albarn offering up a quirky chorus and Coxon whipping up some fun guitar freakouts along with the lead melody.

 San Francisco Music Calendar: The Killers (Popscene, 24 August 2006)
I first went to Popscene back in 1996 (!) when it was at the Cat's Cradle (now called the Cat Club).
Popscene before attracted a little niche of the music population.
To celebrate its 10th year, Popscene had a big bash with the Killers.

In the same way that Popscene required you to produce material that would then be fulfilled on stage, this game asks you to write a series of scripts that will then be brought to life on screen.
Their resulting script is then revealed with the combination of stars and hearts that we saw in Popscene (based on the talents of those involved).
As in Popscene, the major events in both your career and those around you are reported in an authentic newspaper mock-up.

 SFist: Back to School Night at Popscene   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Every time SFist hits Popscene we are struck with an overwhelming urge to cut our bangs.
A performance by Stellastar* (there, we typed the silly asterisk in their name, we’re never doing it again) and a DJ set byBloc Party were the motivations for hitting Popscene.
Stellastar did a nice set of their anthem type Brit Pop that got a few heads bobbing, but mainly it just seemed to be a clue to the freshmen that it was time to start making out (it’s going to be JUST like senior year, only better).

 Popscene (club) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Popscene is the name of a successful "indie dance" club of the 1990s.
The club, which took its name directly from the Blur song "Popscene", ran from 1995 to 2000 and became synoymous with the Britpop scene, spawning clones around the world over subsequent years.
Situated at the London Astoria 2 (LA2) in Central London's Charing Cross Road, the club took place on Friday nights and claimed to have attracted over 300,000 customers over its lifespan, with people queueing in their hundreds for hours to gain admission every week.

 Metroblogging San Francisco: Kooks at Popscene
The second was Popscene, the eighteen and up venue which managed to not feel like an almost-all-ages kind of place.
The fact that the band members are possibly young enough to not be able to drink legally in the United States added to the surprise that they were a good band who came off with a much more mature sound and scene than I'd expected to experience.
I'm a fan of Popscene as well but in my old age of 32, I can no longer stand the endless lines for the great bands.

Cut Copy's set must have clocked in at under 20 minutes, because when we arrived at 8:30pm, TV on the Radio was already performing.
Luckily Cut Copy was scheduled to play a much longer set at Popscene, so after several songs from Franz Ferdinand we headed over to 330 Ritch to wait.
Most of the patrons we saw were wearing outfits that took copious amounts of time to conceive and prepare, as if they'd taken all week to get ready for Thursday night.

 BBC - collective - POPSCENE, Clwb Ifor Bach
The guys who spin em at Popscene have generally top notch taste; expect Smiths, Pixies, Strokes, Radiohead, Stones etc. It won't tantalise yr most avant-garde tastebuds, but it will make you leap about like a puppy who's just discovered Pete Libertine's stash.
Which brings me to the downside of their music policy: a tendancy to fall for the NME's whims and dalliances.
