🚨Huge Britpop anniversary alert!🚨

Blur released their chart topping single “Country House” 30 years ago today.

Releasing 2 versions of the CD was a cunning plan that even Baldrick would be proud of!

Who bought both versions?

30 years! Released on this day in 1995, 'Country House'

On this day in 1998 Graham Coxon released his debut solo studio album, The Sky Is Too High.

It reached number 31 in the UK album charts and was a fantastic album!

Thou art preparing fire for us; look thee, here's
water to quench it.

Happy #ShakespeareSunday Sunday to you all!

Released on this day in 2001, Graham's third album, 'Crow Sit On Blood Tree'. What's your favourite track?

I strongly feel this for music too. I first encountered this brilliant attitude at the @blurfanclub.bsky.social and have replicated it across my choral singing sphere as it is often much needed there.

100% true!

Three big bands, three big tours.

All announced around 30 years ago this month.

Can anyone claim to have gone to all 3?

If you can provide a ticket stub from each then you’ll achieve Bluesky Britpop legend status!

The Heights, la plus belle chanson du monde 💙

Two years ago, with everyone else still asleep, I tiptoed out of our vacation home in Tuscany, down to the pool where the wifi was. The sun was rising as I listened. "The Heights" immediately became one of my funeral songs.
And later that day, my kids made their own version of the cover art.

How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here will we sit & let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness & the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
(Merchant of Venice, 5.1)
