Daily Jam - On the Way to the Club

I guess it's kind of a lesser Blur album, but i still really dig "Think Tank," even with Graham Coxon's absence.  It's got a certain kind of groove to it that separates from the rest of the band's output.  Listen to "On the Way to the Club" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Apollo 13

In 2005, Suede front man Brett Anderson reunited with former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler for a new project called The Tears.  For fans of Suede and Britpop in general, like me, it was a marvelous one-off.  Check out the spacey, yearning "Apollo 13" from the project's sole album below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - You're Tender and You're Tired

I'm about to have to do a lot of traveling for work, and i am not mentally or physically prepared yet.  Ugh.  Anyway, here's a Manic Street Preachers song i really like.  Listen to "You're Tender and You're Tired" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Faraway

It's been a busy day and i need a break.  Here's a great track from Supergrass's third LP.  Listen to "Faraway" below, our Daily Jam.

Pulp

I mentioned the new "Help(2)" compilation a little while back when posting about the Damon Albarn/Grian Chatten/Kae Tempest collaboration included on the album.  Well, it's out in full now, includes an eclectic mix of artists, and raises money for War Child UK, an aid organization for children in war torn countries.  Listen to Pulp's contribution below, "Begging for Change," and order the record here from Beggars Banquet.

Daily Jam - Retread

Here's some melancholy, late-era Britpop from Embrace for your Sunday listening.  Check out "Retread" below, our Daily Jam.

Pulp Covers Cash

Fresh off of their first new album in over two decades, legendary Britpop act Pulp are back again, this time around covering a late track from The Man In Black.  Johnny Cash's "When the Man Comes Around" opened his final album before his death back in 2003.  And now we have a Pulp version.  Listen to it below and download it here from Rough Trade.

Daily Jam - Connection

Yeah, they got sued by Wire for it, but Elastica's "Connection" is still a banger of a '90s alt-rock track.  Let's listen to it below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - When the Lights Go Out All Over Europe

The Divine Comedy's 1994 album "Promenade" remains one of my unlikeliest favorite albums over three decades later, it's brand of dramatic baroque pop setting far apart from virtually everything else i listen to...especially back in the '90s.  Here's a lovely track from it for your Thursday.  Listen to "When the Lights Go Out All Over Europe" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - She's So High

Starting the week with an old classic from Blur.  Listen to "She's So High" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Don't Look Back in Anger

As far as '90s Britpop is concerned, i was always Team Blur...or Team Pulp...or Team Suede.  Outside of 1994's "Definitely Maybe," Oasis just never really did it for me.  I didn't dislike them or anything.  They were still better than probably 90% of other popular music out there.  I just preferred the other 3 (these 4 bands being the proverbial "Big 4" of Britpop).  It is hard not to like "Don't Look Back in Anger" though.  So here it is, our Daily Jam.

Suede

It's kinda wild to think that the original run of Suede (or The London Suede if ya nasty) ran for 5 albums, and now in September, the reunited version will hit its 5th release as well.  They still got it.  Pre-order "Antidepressants" here and listen to first single "Disintegrate" below.

Daily Jam - Butterfly

The Verve's music skewed more towards the psychedelic when they first arrived on the scene with their 1993 album "A Storm in Heaven."  It's pretty neat to hear their sonic evolution over those first three albums.  Anyway, here's a cut from the debut.  Listen to "Butterfly" below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - From Auschwitz to Ipswich

The reunited Pulp have a new album heading our way very soon, and we're positively bristling with excitement about over here.  Today, let's listen to a song Jarvis Cocker made during the band's time apart.  Here's a track from his first solo album.  Listen to "From Auschwitz to Ipswich" below, our Daily Jam.

Pulp

There have been rumblings and rumors for the last several weeks, but now it's official.  We're getting new music from Pulp in June, their first now album in 24 years.  I'm always down for more Jarvis and Co.  Check out new song "Spike Island" below and pre-order the "More" LP here from Rough Trade.

Daily Jam - Impossible

I had to buy a new car last year after the Kia Soul i'd been driving for over 12 years finally started to call it quits.  My new car is really nice, a 2024 Kia Niro Hybrid, but i'm really, really missing the CD player, which is apparently not thing that's included in newer model cars anymore.  Bummer.  I have a lot of fond memories of grabbing a stack of whatever albums i was really into at the time and jamming them on my way between Austin and College Station to visit my girlfriend.  Road records.  The Charlatans' "Us and Us Only" was certainly in that mix.  Dig on "Impossible" from the band below, our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - The Day After the Revolution

The years go by and Pulp's "This Is Hardcore" continues to be a top-5 album for me.  I may even like it better now than i did those 26 years ago.  Here's the record's glorious finale (or penultimate track or earlier depending on the version you have).  Listen to "The Day After the Revolution" below, our Daily Jam.  And Happy Thanksgiving.

Daily Jam - Road Rage

Starting the week off with a very rainy morning here in Central Texas, along with some '90s Britpop.  Here's Catatonia with "Road Rage," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - Slide Away

Since their reunion tour announcement, there's been a whole lot of Oasis being played on the radio, along with co-workers computers at the office.  And that's fine.  I like Oasis alright, but no one ever seems to play one of my favorites, the penultimate track on their 1994 debut "Definitely Maybe."  So if you want something done, i guess you just have to do it yourself.  Here's "Slide Away," our Daily Jam.

Daily Jam - The Trees

One of my great regrets is that i was never able to see Pulp play live.  Even with the handful of American dates that have this fall, it's just not something that's going to happen (they never come anywhere near Texas).  And so, i'm gonna mope with a track from the band's final album, 2001's "We Love Life."  Listen to "The Trees" below, our Daily Jam.
