This week on the program, it is all about 1990s Britpop. We're gonna pack in as much catchy '90s pop from across the pond as we can in those 60 minutes. Some of these artists rode a wave of Britpop all the way to the top of the charts, while others swam well below the rough waters of Britpop. Again, we're going to be hearing from both. Transmission is supported by the spring St. Paul Art Crawl.
