Brit-hop is coming OMG OMG etc - yeah good work BBC but look at the comparison to Select magazine's "notorious" Britpop cover!!

Did anyone else buy this at the time? (1993) and what did you think?

Also if someone could YSI a few good recent (like last 6-12 months recent) hem hem Brit-hop records I'm sure we'd all be grateful.

i read the original select quite a long time after it was published (i was TWELVE at the time) and it was quite good!

i must've read it after the whole dadrock thing, and i guess it's innaresting that no-one in 1993 was able to predict that humble pie, rather than felt, were going to be the hot band in years hence.

Obviously I well know that all members of LJ are bi poly emo goths but I wonder if there's something in the actual format of it that attracts any/all of these categories...
