Pop Buzz UK

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…

This is my weekly round-up of the best pop culture blog posts from all over the blogosphere. I realised a long time ago that I can’t cover every story that breaks, so instead I bring you the ones that have interested me in this nice little feature I like to call ‘A Slice Of Pop Pie‘…

Berkeley Place wrote an article called The 25 best indie rock albums ever… according to the blogosphere, which does exactly what it says on the tin. I agree with most of the choices, and love the fact the UK’s own ‘Bloc Party’ made it on to the list.

WorldNetDaily featured a story about an Ohio woman who was shocked after reading an anti-God message published on the side of a Starbucks coffee cup. I don’t really see why she was so disgusted that her blood boiled. It’s a great campaign, and it’s just voicing one person’s opinion, so what’s the problem? I read pro-Christian messages all the time, and never get upset, we’re all entitled to believe what we want surely?

After posting my review of the Arctic Monkeys new single ‘Brianstorm’ on Tuesday, I was shocked by the amount of non-British people whose response was “Who are the Arctic Monkeys?” or “Great song, but I’ve never heard of them before“. So, in response I thought I’d better start educating those of you who may not be completely au fait with British music by sharing and recommending a few songs.
