The Fall Of The Britpop Empire

For all of you still living under a rock or very far away from any sort of human contact, Tony Blair resigned from his position as Prime Minister of England. But any true Britpopper knows what an end to an era this truly is. If not sure, go see "Live Forever"...a wonderful documentary on Britpop, Blur, Oasis, and Pulp. Tony gets his mentions for sure in the movie.
And speaking of Britpop, how much would one like to see a glorious story of Britannia coming back to life? Then maybe you should check out a comic on the shelf that I've picked up since issue #1. "Phonogram" is its title, and its story stuffed full of Britpop references is highly enchanting. You can visit their blog here at http://www.phonogramcomic.com/blog/ but I recommend just going out and buying the actual comic. The last issue came out last week so that makes six of them all together for you to track down until a hardcover or trade paperback comes out.
