15/06/2007 On The British Jukebox This Week…
Carrying on the attempt at educating anyone who thinks British music ended with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, here is another selection of great music from the UK. It’s all handpicked by me, and whether you think it’s great, OK, or downright unlistenable, just let me know by using ye olde comment box down there!
First off I have an apology to make to Carrie who requested some Cast on this week’s jukebox. Unfortunately I can’t find hide nor hare of them anywhere on the interweb, and that includes radio.blog.club and trusty old YouTube. I’d planned to feature ‘Fine Time’ by them but all I could get was a shoddy cover, so you’ll have to dig out that CD after all!
We do have another 5 fine songs though, so sit back and enjoy…
Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights
Bloc Party - Hunting For Witches
Muse - Plug In Baby
The Undertones - Teenage Kicks
Lady Sovereign - 9 To 5
Let me know what you think of the above songs and bands. Have they travelled across the world and made it big in other countries? Have you ever even heard of them? What do you think of British music in general, good or a load of tripe? If any of the songs I’ve featured grabbed you, let me know and I’ll either feature more from that band or write a full feature on them.

I love Kate Bush! Have you seen the Cloudbusting video? Oh, and fair warning…I will be soon tagging you in a meme.

No worries Dave - Kate Bush, Muse, and The Undertones more than made up for missing Cast! Although how about we try for Inspiral Carpets next week, yeah?

Elisa, Kate Bush is cool, although I hated her when I was younger… more mature now believe it or not
I’ve already been tagged by Kelly for that meme I’m afraid!
Carrie, I’m glad I made up for it then
I’ll defintely see what I can do about some Inspiral Carpets for next week… no promises though lol
