MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Released on this day in 1995…

Blur entered one of the biggest battles in Britpop history…

with this song: “Country House.”

(Music Cut #2)

Blur and Oasis
released new singles
on the same exact day…

turning the British charts
into a full-blown showdown.

(Music Cut #3)

Blur won the battle.

“Country House” outsold the Oasis release of “Roll With It.”

To be fair…

Oasis might have lost the week…

but they ended up doing pretty okay down the road.

(Music Cut #4)

I like them both, but I’m a bigger Blur fan.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Touched with his own mortality
He’s reading Balzac and knocking back Prozac
It’s a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland.” – Blur
