The spoiling point

I had already fallen madly in love with Blur and Oasis the year before. The Britpop scene was growing and I was loving it: their sound, their look, everything about them struck a chord with me.

And then I heard Love Spreads for the first time. Once I heard that song, there was no going back. I lapped up everything: Pulp, Suede, earlier Stone Roses, Elastica, Sleeper - I had found my musical candy in the sounds of Madchester and Camden Town.

I was sad to see the burgeoning Britpop scene decay and slowly die out. I'd finally found music I could truly get behind and now it was gone.

To this day, I tend to fall on the British side when it comes to music that appeals. Kasabian, Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen... before I even know they're British I'm drawn to them like a moth to a flame.

It just proves what I'd always known, I was born on the wrong continent.
