Faster Than A Cannonball : 1995 and All That
1995 in UK - Book - Book by Dylan Jones
(2024)
Decades tend to crest halfway through, and 1995 was the year of the
Nineties: peak Britpop (Oasis v Blur), peak YBA (Tracey Emin's tent),
peak New Lad (when Nick Hornby published High Fidelity, when James
Brown's Loaded detonated the publishing industry, and when pubs were
finally allowed to stay open on a Sunday). It was the year of The Bends,
the year Danny Boyle started filming Trainspotting, the year Richey
Edwards went missing, the year Alex Garland wrote The Beach, the year
Blair changed Clause IV after a controversial vote at the Labour
Conference. It was a period of huge cultural upheaval - in art,
literature, publishing and drugs, and a period of almost unparalleled
hedonism.
Faster Than a Cannonball is a cultural swipe of
the decade from loungecore to the rise of New Labour, teasing all the
relevant artistic strands through interviews with all the major
protagonists and exhaustive re-evaluations of the important records of
the year, by artists including Radiohead, Teenage Fanclub, Tricky, Pulp,
Blur, the Chemical Brothers, Supergrass, Elastica, Spiritualized, Aphex
Twin and, of course, Oasis.
