The Auteurs
For some reason, The Auteurs were never really associated with Britpop, at least not in the same ways when you mention Blur or Oasis or Elastica. The Auteurs seemed to not want anything to do with that short-lived movement, maybe it's because singer/songwriter Luke Haines wanted the band to have a serious tone.

W♥M166: Winter Shows
Brody came on W♥M Radio to talk list some Winter shows. Incidentally, I don't go to shows in the Winter, so I'm not attending most of these shows (I don't even have their tour itinerary): The Maccabees, The Cribs, Kasabian, Phoenix (France), Palma Violets, Kooks, Peace, Xx, Kaiser Chiefs (lost a guitarist). The only show I'm attending is The Faint, which is happening tomorrow at First Avenue (December 13th).

60Ft Dolls at the Whisky a Go-Go, Los Angeles (03/08/1997)
You know we love Welsh bands, and you may have remembered how I saw the 60ft Dolls in Los Angeles? The good news is that I kept everything, but the bad news is that I don't have any photographs or have a solid memory of the show. Back in those days, cameras weren't allowed into clubs.
