A very special non-Britpop anniversary.
Happy 30th birthday to “Free As A Bird” by The Beatles. I remember this being a massive event at the time.
One of my favourite ever Xmas songs on the b-side. Bonus point if you can name a Britpop act that covered it.

Damon firing shots at Oasis in the music press 30 years ago this week.
He also hints at the new direction Blur would take after the Great Escape album cycle was finished.
Final sentence didn’t age well though!😉

Happy 30th anniversary to the debut album by McAlmont & Butler “The Sound Of…”
Not a studio album as such, but more of a collection of tracks they’d already released as singles/EP’s. By the time it was released the duo had already split up!
