Love That Album Episode 66 - Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern
b'Welcome to episode 66 of Love That Album podcast.\\n\\nWhat happens if you mix stripping clergy members,\\ntrainspotting, James Bond, and English village life? No, not a Monty Python\\nsketch \\u2013 you get the 1997 debut album from Mansun, a band from the tail end of the\\nmusical movement known as Britpop. The album, Attack of the Grey Lantern went\\nto #1 on the British charts \\u2013 for one week -, but unlike \\u201cParklife\\u201d by Blur or \\u201cDefinitely\\nMaybe\\u201d by Oasis seems to have been forgotten about.\\xa0 What was it replaced by? Tune in and find\\nout.\\n\\nI am joined by Scott Phipps (one half of the excellent film\\ndiscussion podcast team, Stinking Pause) and my good friend Dave Blom (who\\nchose this album) to discuss not only our feelings about this record, but the\\nBritpop movement in general and the politics of England from the day that\\nsurrounded Britpop. 1997 was also the year that gave us Radiohead\\u2019s \\u201cOK\\nComputer\\u201d, so that was the direction British music was inevitably headed to\\n(with a diversion somewhere in the middle!!!) We even find time to make a\\nconnection to a classic Australian political jingle.\\n\\nMy thanks to both Dave and Scott for making time to come\\nonto the show and bringing their enthusiasm to chat with them.\\n\\nEric Reanimator returns with his Album I Love segment to\\ndiscuss a British album from the Britpop period, but stylistically very different.\\nEric brings us a chat about The Wild Hearts\\u2019 1993 album \\u201cEarth Vs The Wild\\nHearts\\u201d.\\n\\nYou can download the podcast at iTunes by searching for\\n\\u201cLove That Album\\u201d.
