WELCOME TO MY BRITPOP FRIDAY!
I’m finally on my way home today, driving back to my little hamlet in the middle of Michigan. And what better way to travel than to listen to a little Brit-pop? I have never hidden the fact that I am a serious American anglophile. While America certainly has had it’s share of great music, to me, the music of the British Isle’s is where it’s at. So, enjoy a little look at some great Brit-pop!

Michigan has hamlets?

@The Fixer:
Damn sure feels like a hamlet!

I actually used to know a couple of rather rabid Britpoppers from Michigan. They used to drive down to Chicago for gigs back in the mid-’90’s since all the bands came through Chicago but very few made it up to Detroit.
Ahh, those were the days…..

@Brett Anderson CD Review:
Chicago in the 90’s was THE place to be for music, that’s for damn sure. I had a blast there. As for Detroit…that’s pretty much garage rock, which isn’t a bad thing, just different. Michigan really only has ever had one decent music, and that’s Ann Arbor.
