Britflipped – Britpop covers

What is there to say about Britpop that hasn’t already been said? Well, nothing, so we’re not going to talk about it, but we are going to talk about the acts that were inspired by these standards.

It shows that the songs can outrun the genre and typecasting..

The songs chosen were chosen for how well the artists captured the essence of the original recording, without slavishly trying to emulate it. These aren’t tribute acts playing their favourite songs note for note, but artists adding their own voice to well-loved classics.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
