Sunday August 14, 2005(excerpt) Today's riff A Britpop special. In a frankly humbling development, it's exactly ten years since a young, lithe, centre-partinged Smyth rushed to Parrott Records in Canterbury in his lunchtime to buy Roll With It (but not Country House; Oasis always did the better B-sides back in the day, and I always empathised with the Manc skanks). It was the zenith of Britpop, and it brings a tear to the eye. So, today, favourite Britpop memories - Northern Uproar? Louise Wener looking staggeringly attractive (and very cold) on that Lamacq-presented Britpop Now program? those ironic pink 'Take That Love You' T-shirts? Select magazine? Bluetonic? The chorus on Daydreamer? Ooh I'm getting all warm and nostalgic now. I could almost drink a warm can of Carling.
