W♥M060: Britpop on Film

W♥M060 [download (67 min, 61 mb)]

So we have a problem. As expected, it costs a lot of money for free podcast hosts to maintain their services. In the past few years, we've had problems with both gcast and mypodcast. Gcast is no longer offering their podcast services as of 2010:

Attention: gcast.com is no longer accepting new signups, and will not be accepting new uploads as of February 1, 2010. Your existing podcasts will continue to be available.

Despite their cutoff date of 2/1/10, I can confirm that they aren't accepting new uploads as of now. If you're an RSS subscriber, I suppose you can still subscribe via mypodcast's rss. Unfortunately, I find that the best way to get the show is to just to manually visit podcast.weheartmusic.com.

Well, the good news is that you can download our show at Archive.org, which is quite a blazing fast to download.

BRITPOPCAST #7: BRITPOP ON FILM

Lou Reed - Perfect Day

Sally & I talked about Live Forever, The Britpop Story, Britpop Now, 24 Hour Party People, and Trainspotting.

Between Live Forever and The Britpop Story, I prefered the later because it was short, concise and more focused. On the other hand, Sally prefered Live Forever because it was the opposite of what The Britpop Story was.

Live Forever seems to be over zealous and over-reaching when it came to trying to organize the whole Britpop thing, including talking about fashion and art. My biggest complaint was that they focused too much on Massive Attack, which I felt didn't fit in. What I liked about Live Forever was that they had most of the big popstars, excluding Brett Anderson of Suede, which was absent from most of the documentary.

PS, I apologize for my nasal problem, it's cold here and you know how it is (I think I'm coming down with a cold).
